The Top Party Themes

  • News from our partners

Planning out a good party is a challenge but can be very rewarding when it all comes together. Relaxing with your friends will be all the more fun if you have put some hard work in first to organise things.

One of the best ways to plan a party is around a theme and that is very popular now. People host everything from gambling themed events where guests play poker and slots with a $300 free chip no deposit casino bonus to even movie or book parties like Harry Potter and famous franchises.

Not only will giving your party a particular theme make it easier to plan it will also make the event feel more special. In this article I have outlined some ideas for party themes that you might want to borrow, if you have never done this sort of thing before.

Casino Theme

Basing a party around the idea of casinos and gambling is another great choice. For this you might want to actually offer casino gaming, by having computers logged into online casino sites for people to play at.

You can quite easily decorate your home with some items that will help to emphasise the theme. Try using playing cards as drinks coasters and adding some dice to vases as ornamental pieces.

This sort of theme should see everyone dressed for a casino too. That means James Bond style tuxedos for the men and ultra-glamorous dresses for the women. Play music by singers associated with casinos, e.g. Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley, to top it off.

Cowboys and Cowgirls Theme

This idea has become more popular since the singer Olivia Rodrigo hosted a party that used it. In terms of the dress, men should try to look as much like a traditional western cowboy as possible, via the use of a fancy dress shop.

For women, the cowgirl theme should be combined with party glamour though. Think stylish white cowgirl boots from SheSole and a hot pink cowgirl hat from Rouyamiao.

You can also get household items that will bring this party idea to life. An example would be margarita glasses shaped like cacti that can be bought from HEMOTON.

The best music to play to create a cowgirl vibe will be country and western tunes by Dolly Parton.

1990s Retro Theme

Retro parties that are based on the music and fashion of a particular decade are another really good option. The best decade to pick is one that you and the guests can feel genuine nostalgia for – say the 1990s.

For food you could bake biscuits or cakes and add icing with phrases that were big during the decade, such as ‘as if’ or ‘eat my shorts’. Everyone can use fancy dress to show up at the party as the celebrity from the decade that they most like.

Music will be very easy for this kind of party too. A mix-tape that contains some of the most iconic songs from the era will work. Make sure you prioritise party tunes that will get people up and dancing though.

Arabian Nights Theme

This is a theme that is really starting to take off now. If you can afford to cover your home in colourful drapes from Morocco that will certainly help to make everyone feel as if they are in the Arabian Nights.

Combine it with exotic sounds and food and drinks from Morocco, like Couscous and mint tea to really make your theme come to life. Neither of those is especially difficult for you to make and if you need help with the decor you can turn to a company that specialises in party preparations.

These are just a few of the fabulous theme ideas for parties. You could just as easily opt for a Harry Potter party or one that is themed around Alice in Wonderland if you prefer.
