Theme or no theme, that is the question!

 

Do you need to have a theme for your party?

Throwing a party can be so stressful with so many of the do’s and don’ts of planning. One of the big questions, do you need to have a theme for the party?

Themes often bring continuity to a party and help with the planning phase, but are not necessary.

Some things to consider when you’re deciding if you want a theme:

1)            Your Party Date:

Is your event scheduled near a holiday such a Christmas, Halloween, or the 4th of July? If so, you will likely find a variety and more affordable decorations with a seasonal theme that coincides with your party date.

2)            Location:

Selecting a location is huge when it comes to party planning! Some venues are the theme, such as destination events like beach weddings or zoo parties. Venues that may benefit from a theme are ballrooms, parks, or event centers because they often have neutral décor.

3)            Type of Party:

Deciding whether to have a theme also depends on the celebration. Choosing a theme for a special event such as a birthday party, kid’s party, or holiday party is helpful in designing décor, favors, and food. Wine & dine events or backyard barbecues do not need a theme because the gathering is a theme in itself.

4)            YOU!

Do you enjoy themed parties? If so, let it help guide the party planning and present a common theme throughout the ambiance of the party. If you do not enjoy themed parties, enjoy the freedom of planning a simple gathering without a theme. Either way, you have something to celebrate.[fruitful_sep]
