Theme parties: themes and ideas

A themed party starts with one decision: what the theme will be. Once that is clear, it is easier for guests to choose their outfits, and for you to plan the decorations, music, and invitations. Below, we have gathered party themes for adults and children. With each, you will find a brief idea of what to wear, and a link to costumes and accessories.

How to choose a party theme

  • Based on the guests. For colleagues, choose a theme that only requires one accessory: a hat, wig, or glasses. For a friend's birthday, you can be bolder, for example, all characters from one movie.
  • Based on the venue. Oktoberfest or Wild West is suitable for a backyard, while a mafia or 1920s theme is ideal for a restaurant or bar.
  • Based on the time of year. Halloween in October, Christmas in December, Mardi Gras in February, or a hippie or cowboy party outdoors in summer.
  • Based on how much time you have before the party. Items in stock are delivered within 1–2 business days, while items ordered from our supplier take 3–5 business days.
