Are you planning a party? Wedding? But you’re unsure where to begin?
Here’s a tip. Select a theme — like any of the following wedding reception themes — to help you create the highlights and fill in the details.
Wedding reception themes make it easy to organize your celebration. ANY celebration, actually, not only weddings.
Stretch your imagination — sky’s the limit! You can use wedding reception themes for graduation parties, a company banquets, informal block parties, festive holiday parties, or professional networking meetings. Anything!
For example, here we are in a “Masquerade Ball” party on a recent New Year’s Eve. Created and organized by my friend Rick Herns.
Using wedding reception themes gives you a tremendous advantage, which I referred to in a recent post on my Facebook Page.
Got a favorite secret for a successful party? I often recommend using a “theme” to systematically coordinate important details like arranging the music, and all the rest: invitations, publicity, food, flowers, colors & decor, photography, party favors, timeline, costumes, activities, and toasts.
I’ve seen hundreds of wedding reception themes, and any one of them can inspire your next celebration. Think of them by categories — here are just a few I’ve seen:
- Holidays — picnic, Mardi Gras, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, birthday, anniversary, Halloween
- Books and Movies — Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Casablanca, Star Trek, Cowboys, Harry Potter, Tim Burton, Star Wars, Breakfast at Tiffany’s
- Historical Times — Roaring 20s, King Arthur, Big Band Era, Victorian Era, Rock and Roll, Wild West
- Bride’s & Groom’s favorites — songs, places, colors, artists, hobbies, occupations, interests, ethnic background
- Location, Cities, and Countries — beach, picnic, forest, tropical, Paris, London, New York, San Francisco, Hawaii,
- Seasons and Colors — summer, fall, winter, spring, pastel, pink, yellow, red, gold, black & white
Naturally, there’s more than one way to plan music for a party, but using a wedding reception theme is a great one!
How about YOU? Did you use a theme for your last party? How did it help?
