Just like fashion, party styles evolve over time and vary in slight nuances that keep them fresh, interesting and fun. From bold to minimalistic, modern to vintage, trends will come and go. Here are our predictions to inspire you this year. 

Bold Decor

Trade in modern, minimalist chic decor for wild prints and color. Think cherry red, deep blues, bright yellows and vivid greens. Combine fun florals, vases, candles and serveware with striking patterns – geometric shapes, large prints, and abstract art-inspired decor adding visual intrigue.

Niche Themes

A personalized party theme is always a fun touch. Unique searches such as “underwater theme party” are on the rise. Turn your celebration into one-of-a-kind that will be a forever memory for you and your guests. Get creative and inspired by hobbies, topics, characters, and more. 

Dress Codes

Elevate the party and invite guests to become part of the fun by aligning attire to the party theme, color palette or particular style. Encourage them to embrace creativity and self-expression. It makes the “what do I wear” more exciting. Some trendy ideas include: garden chic, Sinatra and sequins, cheeky tiki, life on mars, under the sea, 90’s comeback, glam & glitz. 

All the Activities

Surprise and delight guests with an activity (or two) – think colorful coloring collabs on butcher paper as your tablecloth, murder mystery parties, make your own pizza party, blind food tastings, build your own sundae station, and post-dinner games. People love an experience and something as simple as a game helps to get everyone mingling.

Party Favors

Show gratitude and leave a lasting impression with a thoughtful thank-you for being part of a special celebration. Whether it’s a polaroid photo from the party or sweet treat to take home, the value lies in the personal touch.
