Summer is the time of the year when social events and fun gatherings really start picking up around the neighborhood. For many people, this is a perfect time to catch up with friends and family by throwing a party to celebrate the season. You can make your party especially enjoyable by choosing fun theme that really shows off your personality and best hosting skills.
Here are some ideas for summer party themes to inspire you and suggestions for where to find professional help with the party planning process.
Garden Party
If you enjoy growing flowers and other plants in the summertime, a garden party is a perfect opportunity to show them off. Consider throwing a garden dinner party for a touch of elegance and class. Garden parties are also perfect for simply enjoying tea, and you can make a tea garden party as child-friendly or upscale as you like based on your guestlist.
Luau Party
To celebrate the warm weather, a luau party can be fun with the right decorations and foods. Grass skirts, Hawaiian music, and plenty of pineapple can set the mood for this type of party. Encourage your guests to wear floral shirts and dresses, and maybe hire a dance instructor to stop by and give your guests a hula lesson!
Watermelon-Themed Party
If you want to keep your party theme simple yet festive, consider basing your party around a favorite summertime food…like watermelon! Not only can you serve fresh slices of watermelon at your gathering, but you can also decorate your backyard with pink and green colors. A quick search online will show you plenty of watermelon-themed table cloths, napkins, banners, and other décor to set up a festive scene.
Puppy Party
But why should humans get to have all the fun though? You can also throw a puppy party to celebrate your dog’s summer birthday or just schedule in some dog socialization time in a festive way. Puppy parties can feature games and obstacles courses for the dogs, delicious dog treats, and also party favors for pet parents to take home with them.
Pool Party
But perhaps the most classic of all summer party ideas is the pool party. If you have a pool in your backyard, it creates an instant centerpiece for all party activity and an excellent way to cool off too. The best summertime pool parties are also stocked with refreshing beverages, easy finger foods, and plenty of lounge chairs to relax and soak up the sunshine.
