What Is An Event Theme?
Event themes come in several types:
- Color(s)
- Inspiration in X
- Food
- Specific Celebration Concepts
Event Themes Explained
Color(s): Choose one or two (max three) colors and use them for everything at your event. For example, use all red or all blue or all whatever for plates, napkins, candles, flowers, decor, placecards, etc., etc. But don't overdo it--if in doubt, mix any color with other event things in ivory or white so as not to have TOO much of one color. For example, if you do a red tablecloth and red candles and flowers, use white or red and white plates.
Inspiration in X: Take your inspiration from a painting or cushion or piece of china or Asian screen or anything you particularly like at the event space, be it your home or a rented space. For example, if you love an Asian screen that has gray, pink, and light green on black, choose two of these colors for the event things and decor and maybe serve Asian-inspired food such as spring rolls, dumplings, or skewers.
Food: Similar to the Asian-inspired food above...Using a specific cuisine like Asian or Latin or German or even types of food like a seafood spread can help you decide what to serve and also help you decide on colors, decor, etc.
Specific Celebration Concepts: By this we mean "theme ideas" like a 70s or 80s party (we did that last week) or a Mardi Gras party or a Night at the Opera gala fundraiser. These "concepts" help you decide what food to serve and what event things to use, and are not just for galas but are also wonderful fun for home or less formal events, wherever held.
Choosing a theme can help you make the other choices involved in your event, and that's always a help.
Enjoy!
