Planning a holiday party but struggling with the theme? Here are five of this season's most popular themes to help your event stand out.
Murder Mystery Dinner Party: Who Sacked Santa? 🎅🔍
If you want to break away from the usual holiday dinner party, a Murder Mystery is the way to go! Decorate with frosty blue and white tones, sparkling string lights, and pops of red and green. Add mystery-themed touches like magnifying glass centerpieces, crime scene props, and 'suspect' name tags to immerse guests in the whodunit fun.
This interactive theme immerses everyone in an engaging story and is perfect for both small, intimate gatherings and large group events. It’s great for boosting team communication and fostering social connections, with the bonus of dinner being included.
Casino Night: Holiday High Rollers! 🎰🎲
With a Casino Night theme, your guests can enjoy classic games like poker, blackjack, and roulette—without the stress of losing real cash. It’s a great way to mingle, meet new people, and build relationships with coworkers or friends.
This theme is also perfect for fundraisers. Whether your event is small or large, you can sell tickets, host a raffle, or even organize an auction featuring exciting holiday-themed prizes. For a competitive twist, offer rewards for the highest chip holders.
Set the mood with red, black, and gold accents, twinkling string lights, and casino-themed centerpieces. Think oversized playing cards, glittering dice, and 'jackpot' banners to transform your space into a high-stakes holiday extravaganza. Bite-sized appetizers, small plates, or self-serve stations like a taco or mac-and-cheese bar make it easy for guests to control how much food they want and when. You could even add a cocktail bar with signature drinks centered around the theme.
Hollywood Glamour: Lights, Camera, Luxe! 🎥✨
As guests arrive in their finest attire, they'll be in awe of this red carpet-theme—perfect for charity events or appreciation ceremonies. Passed champagne and paparazzi photographers add a fun touch, while vintage movie posters and velvet ropes evoke old Hollywood charm. Guests can snap fun photos in a vintage-inspired photo booth, sip signature cocktails, and dance the night away to a lively mix of music making everyone feel like a star.
A Winter Wonderland Celebration: Where Magic Meets the Season ⛄️❄️
If you're looking for a seasonal theme, why not host a Winter Wonderland event? It's a great way to capture the magic of winter while creating a festive atmosphere.
For the décor, sparkling paper snowflakes, ice sculptures, and faux fur throws add a cozy touch. You can also use silver and white accents, along with vintage-style ornaments, to bring the theme to life. Set up fun, interactive stations like a hot chocolate bar, a "Letter to Santa" wall, a snowman-building contest, or a "Winter Wishes" board where guests can write down their hopes for the new year. These activities will encourage guests to snap and share moments that not only capture their fun-filled night but also showcase your event!
This Winter Wonderland theme works for all ages, making it perfect for family-friendly events. Whether it's a charity fundraiser, party, or dinner gathering, this theme is versatile and fun for everyone.
Masquerade Ball: A Night of Masks and Mystique 🎭🌙
A masquerade ball combines the timeless elegance of high society with the allure of mystery. The twist of secrecy from wearing a mask creates a sense of intrigue and adds an interactive element to the event.
Decorate your venue with rich, velvety drapes, tablescapes set with candelabras, masks, and dark floral arrangements in deep jewel tones—emerald, gold, silver, and ruby. Fun elements, like a smoke-filled entrance at the grand staircase, set a mystifying tone for the evening. Elevate the experience with a champagne tower, a string quartet, or even acrobatic entertainers. This will create an extravagant atmosphere, ensuring your masquerade ball is a night to remember.
