Event themes

When it comes to hosting a memorable party, choosing the right theme can make your celebration to ‘next level.’ A well-planned party theme not only sets the mood, it makes the night so much more immersive and unique.  Here’s our suggestion for five party themes that are sure to make your party stand out whilst leaving that lasting impression on all of your lovely guests so that they talk about YOUR party for years to come!

1. DAY OF THE DEAD THEMED PARTY

Originating from Mexico, the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is a vibrant and colourful celebration that honours and remembers deceased loved ones. Whilst it can be spooky and creepy, it can also infuse your gathering with a rich cultural experience. Decorate your venue with marigold flowers, sugar skull decorations, and traditional papel picado banners. Encourage guests to dress up in intricate skull face paints, traditional Mexican attire, or as famous Mexican icons. Serve Mexican cuisine and beverages, and include activities like a sugar skull decorating station or a piñata filled with treats. We absolutely love this always visually stunning theme!

2. 1980’S PARTY

Take a nostalgic trip back in time with an 1980’s themed party. The ’80s were a decade of bold fashion choices, neon colours, and iconic music. Encourage your guests to embrace the spirit of the era by dressing up in leg warmers, off-the-shoulder tops, and parachute pants. Decorate your venue with cassette tapes, Rubik’s cubes, and posters of famous ’80s movies and musicians. In the past, we’ve had 3D light-up dance floors, an LED bar and Disco Pisco Sours! Create a playlist featuring popular hits from the ’80s, and set up a dance floor with disco balls a-go-go. You could even hire an ’80s cover band or a DJ who specializes in ’80s music. In our experience, this theme guarantees a night filled with dance-offs, laughter, and ALWAYS creates fond memories for years to come.

3. STUDIO 54 PARTY

For those who crave a touch of glamour and sophistication, a Studio 54 themed party is the perfect choice. Inspired by the legendary New York City nightclub that defined the disco era, this theme is all about glitz and glam. Transform your venue into a chic disco paradise with shimmering decorations, mirrored accents, and a sparkling dance floor. Encourage guests to dress in their most dazzling attire, complete with sequins, feathers, and bold accessories. Create an atmosphere with groovy disco music and iconic hits from the ’70s. Consider hiring professional dancers (topless men with shiny pants please!) or disco-themed entertainers to keep the energy high. Your guests will feel like they’ve stepped back in time to the glamorous heyday of Studio 54.

4. MASQUERADE BALL

Bring an air of mystery and elegance to your celebration with a masquerade ball. This theme offers a touch of intrigue and allows guests to embrace their creativity by choosing exquisite masks and elaborate costumes. Decorate your venue with dim lighting, draped fabrics, and ornate centrepieces. Set up a photo booth where guests can capture their stunning masked ensembles. Create a playlist featuring classical waltzes and modern ballroom music. A professional dance instructor could even provide a mini dance lesson for guests to learn a few elegant steps. This theme promises an enchanting night filled with allure and sophistication.

5. TROPICAL PARTY

Escape to a tropical paradise with a vibrant and relaxed theme. Transform your venue into a tropical oasis with palm trees, colourful flowers, and tiki torches. Set up a beach-inspired bar serving fruity cocktails and mocktails in coconut shells. Encourage guests to dress in Hawaiian shirts, sundresses, and flip-flops. It’s a great excuse to play very loud tropical music that will transport everyone to a sunny beach. Finally, why not consider organizing fun activities such as a limbo dancing competition? Now that’s always hilarious!
