Summer is right around the corner! Enhance your next celebration with a fun party theme. These themes work both indoors or outdoors and can be as casual or sophisticated as you'd like! Keep reading for our top 5 themes for summer 2018.

White Party

White Party

If you’re looking for a chic theme, an all-white party is the way to go. This theme can be applied to any occasion. Every detail about this theme matches the monochromatic color scheme, so be sure that all guests know there is a strict color dress code (white of course!). Food and beverages are also on-theme here. Serve a signature white cocktail such as a cosmopolitan or margarita. Set up an all white dessert table, complete with white chocolate covered treats, rock candy, sugar cookies and more. When it comes to entertainment, book according to how classy the event is. If it’s more of a lively summer bash, hire a cover band. If the event is more upscale, book a string quartet or pianist.

Safari

Safari

Bring out the party animal within and throw a safari-themed party. Animal print and lush greenery décor such as vines and leaves create a more authentic look for this event. Create a faux safari experience with live party animals; a professional animal handler can host an exotic show or set up a petting zoo. Make sure to prepare a big batch of "jungle juice" and don't forget to hire a DJ for a wildly fun time on the dance floor!

Woodstock

Woodstock

Party like it's 1969 with a Woodstock themed party! This “three days of peace and music” festival makes for a great party that no guest will soon forget. Encourage party goers to come in full hippie gear and decorate with peace signs. Book a cover band to play all the hits from this era. For a true festival experience, lay out blankets and tapestries for friends to hang out on. An airbrush artist can create custom tie-dye T-shirts that guests can remember this groovy party with.

Havana Nights

Havana Nights

For a vintage theme with a Latin spin, Havana nights makes the perfect choice. Enjoy authentic Cuban food, drinks, and music at this festive party. Cuba is home to the mojito; serve up this cocktail the classic way or provide other fruity flavor options. Get inspired by the vibrant colors in the streets of Old Havana when decorating - palm leaves, exotic fruit, and bright colors supplement Caribbean vibes here. Hire a cigar roller or set up a cigar bar in which guests can customize cigars to their liking. Most importantly, this party needs live music. Book a salsa band to keep the energy high.

Nautical

Nautical

Get inspired by life on sea for your next event. Nautical parties offer laid-back vibes and paired with a traditional red and blue color scheme. Maritime flags, seashells and anchor decor further enhance the theme. Treat guests to a raw bar station, complete with a variety of seafood and condiments. Themed cocktails can include a mimosas and a variety of local craft beers. Hire a beach band to play classic summer hits!
