Once you’ve picked the date and location for your event, it is time to choose a theme. The type of party you are hosting may naturally guide your decor and food decisions. Here are some ideas for varied occasions.
Hawaiian Birthday
For example, if you are celebrating a birthday party for your father-in-law, the theme could be based on his age or year he was born, the place he was born or even the culture of his heritage. If he was born in Hawaii, you can have Hawaiian food and decor. Line up one of the best catering companies Carson to take care of the food. Ask attendees to dawn their tropical clothing, greet the guests with a lei and a kiss on the cheek. Decorate with tiki torches and tropical flowers.
Western Wedding
If you and your fiancee love horses and cowboy boots, maybe a western-themed wedding reception would be fun. You can serve BBQ and beans, decorate with hay bales and barbed wire, and ask your guests to wear their jeans. Use small twinkly lights to resemble those vast night skies. Go ahead and wear your cowboy hats, with a veil added for the bride.
Garden Baby Shower
A baby shower for your niece could celebrate the baby “in bloom.” Use a traditional English flower garden and your ideas can grow from there. For refreshments, have a tea party with peppermint ice tea, crustless sandwiches and miniature cakes. Decorate with lots of fresh flowers and even design an archway of silk flowers that welcomes guests as they arrive.
Retro Reunion
Maybe you are in charge of your high school reunion. Why not use the year of your graduation as your theme. Go back to the ’80s and have a disco party. Use music from the Bee Gees and order pizzas or burgers for your food. Decorate with yearbooks and other high school memorabilia.
Having a solid theme for your next event will help all the details flow together. Have fun!
