Top 5 Tips for Theming Your Party
If you’ve been tasked with planning your company’s corporate event this year – there’s no way to get your co-workers excited quite like a fun theme. Luckily, one of the best parts about throwing a party is the infinite options when it comes to party themes. Here are some ideas to inspire your planning:
Luau
With so many fun ways to decorate and get creative with food and attire, luau-themed parties are one of the most popular of the summer. You can easily find supplies at any party store to transport your guests to an island getaway. Depending on how festive you want to get with it, tiki torches, leis, tropical floral arrangements, and even hula skirts are all fun options to include. Have your bartenders serve up your favorite tropical drinks (or mocktails) and have fun snacks, including fruit which you can serve a dual purpose of feeding your guests and brightening the room. Attendees will have a lot of fun dressing up, whether you want them to get in costume or just stick with festive tropical attire– just make sure you make clear which is expected in your invitation.
Olympics
A theme like this one is great for any party, but especially a corporate event where you want your guests to get moving, interacting, and naturally, have fun. This is a great opportunity to foster team-building and bring people together for a common goal. Some competitive activities that could be fun for guests of all ages and interests include relay races, egg tosses, and even Olympic-themed trivia if your crowd isn’t too interested in physical competitions. You can incorporate the Olympic rings and their colors into the decor and food display, and find fun ways to include torches and medals too.
Speakeasy
Bring on the glitz & glam at your very own speakeasy and transport your guests to a different time. Speakeasies have been taking the bar scene by storm in recent years and this is your chance to play on the trend. Encourage guests to dress the part and decorate your event so they feel like they’ve really taken a time machine back to the roaring ‘20s. This would be a fun opportunity to have a photo booth with a prop table full of accessories like hats/headbands, long gloves, mustaches, and pearl necklaces. Have cocktails like gin fizz, mint julep, and moonshine on the menu, and better yet, have them served by waiters dressed in vests and suspenders.
Old West
Similar to other themes, you and your guests can get dressed up for the wild west and enter your very own saloon for the day. Decorating with a few wooden barrels, some swinging saloon doors, and even a square-dancing floor will make your party the best event of the summer. No cowboy party would be complete without a traditional American western menu, including biscuits, chicken fried steak bites, corn on the cob, baked beans, and whiskey-based cocktails.
Carnival
Jam-packed with bright colors, candies, and games, this party theme will be loved by guests of all ages. Hiring performers like trapeze artists, magicians, or balloon artists are fun ways to keep everyone entertained when they’re not taking part in a ring toss or other classic carnival games. You can keep the carnival-themed party sophisticated even if you’re serving delicious snacks like funnel cake, cotton candy, corn dogs, and all the other foods your guests will go wild for.
