Spring is here and it’s time to celebrate! The warm weather, blooming flowers, and active animals all call for a special party to welcome the season. To help inspire you, we’ve put together a list of 22 party ideas with spring themes.
1. Aloha Luau
Say “aloha” to the sun with a Hawaiian Luau party theme. Welcome the return of warm weather with a party full of pineapples, tropical drinks, and plenty of tropical flowers and shells as décor.
2. Southwestern Theme
Celebrate spring with an ode to the desert. Decorate with lots of earth tones and try your hand at making a cactus-themed cake.
3. Floral Theme
Flowers dominate the spring season and would make a beautiful party theme all on their own. Use different icing techniques to make bright and cheerful flower cupcakes and coordinate them with fresh flowers on display.
4. Tea Party
Tea parties aren’t just for kids; they’re a great type of themed gathering for adults to enjoy too. Pinkies up!
5. Fairy Party
Enchanting and whimsical, a fairy-themed party is a fun and festive way to welcome spring. Consider including fairy wings, wands, and crafted flower crowns to round out the experience.
6. Popsicle Party
Popsicles are the ultimate warm-weather treat. So with the temperatures rising, a homemade popsicle party is a great theme idea. Have fun mixing different fruit juice combos to your taste. And add a splash of champagne for some adults-only popsicles.
7. Palm Springs Theme
Bring the sunshine and palm trees to you with this incredibly detailed Palm Springs-themed party. The decor might not be edible, but the sandy crumble on the pie will have you reaching for seconds.
8. Watermelon Party
Get an early start celebrating the return of warm weather with a watermelon party highlighting the refreshing fruit. Decorate in shades of pink and red, and incorporate watermelon into drinks and desserts.
9. Cactus Party
Cacti remind us of warm weather and make a visually appealing addition to a table setting. Plus, they’ll last well beyond your party. To play up the theme, decorate with other cactus-themed items, such as a DIY mini cupcake cactus stand made out of cardboard and green printed paper.
10. Flamingo Party
Centering a party on flamingos can be great to welcome back the warm weather. Put out flamingo decor, such as crowd-pleasing large plastic flamingos, and otherwise decorate in shades of pink. You can even make some flamingo cocktails with a tropical orange flavor.
11. Rainbow Party
Spring showers might bring some rainbows with them. And rainbows make the perfect spring party theme. Simply use a vibrant color palette for your decor and try your hand at cake design by making a beautiful rainbow cake.
12. Al Fresco Party
Take advantage of the warm weather and take that party outdoors. Set up your outdoor space to dine al fresco. If you don’t have your own outdoor space, plan to head to a public park on a nice day for a picnic.
13. Pastel Party
Pastels are often associated with spring and are simple to incorporate as a party theme. For instance, create table settings using soft yellow, mint green, and pale pink. Mix up frosting for baked goods with just a hint of color to keep everything coordinated.
14. Tropical Drink Party
Allow the star of your event to be a menu of tropical cocktails and blended drinks, and you’ll feel like hot weather is just around the corner. Decorate with bright, bold colors to play up the theme and don’t forget the cute little umbrellas, along with slices of fresh fruit, to add to the drinks.
15. Backyard Movie Party
Set up a projector and screen (or just a white sheet) to have a backyard movie night once the weather has warmed. This is a great party for the springtime because the sun is still going down early enough that you can start the movie at a reasonable time.
16. Garden Party
With fresh blooms everywhere in sight, it’s only natural to consider a garden theme for a spring party. Place potted plants on the table and decorate in soft shades of green.
17. Unicorn Party
Full of pastels and whimsy, a unicorn-themed party is a festive way to welcome spring. Consider including a unicorn piñata for a fun touch. And you can make an array of unicorn foods with lots of colors and some sparkle.
18. Farmers Market Party
Spring is when fresh produce returns to many farmers markets. Turn this into a party theme by serving items with fresh seasonal produce and cut flowers. Decorate with some rustic touches, such as terra cotta pots to hold silverware or a watering can to hold straws.
19. Swan Pool Party
If you’re lucky enough to have a pool and warm enough weather in the spring to use it, kick off the swimming season with a pool party. For a more specific theme, make it a swan pool party and decorate with a fleet of inflatable swans. Serve only light snacks and make swimming the main event.
20. Gold Party
A gold-themed party could not be more appropriate to celebrate the shift in temperature and the warm glow of a sunny day. This theme is simple: Decorate with a lot of gold or bright yellow items. Yellow foods, such as pineapple or lemonade, also can play into the theme.
21. Sorbet Effect
With its pastel color palette and refreshing flavors, sorbet makes an excellent food on which to center a spring party. Serve the sorbet on a tablescape that uses coordinating pastel colors. And decorate with some streamers or flowers in muted tones.
22. Ice Cream Crawl
There’s nothing like celebrating the return of warm weather with a scoop of ice cream. If you can’t choose just one flavor, you don’t have to with an ice cream crawl party theme. Order just one serving of at least five different ice cream flavors to try, and split each serving among your group. Have everyone rank their favorite flavors, and see which one comes out on top.
No matter what spring party theme you choose, be sure to have fun and welcome the season in style!
