The days are getting longer, school is almost out, and we think summer birthday parties are going to be bigger and better this year!
We’ve rounded up 9 of the most popular summer party themes, perfect to use for your next upcoming birthday party! You won’t be lost for ideas with all the great themes we have picked out for you, from blow-out BBQs to garden beach parties!
1. BYO BBQ Party
A BBQ in the garden… the ultimate symbol of summer. Throw a BBQ King or Queen birthday party to remember with this simple yet fun party theme. Even a simple summer BBQ can be turned into a fun party with friends with just a little creativity. It can be so much more than just delicious food on the grill, tasty summer salads, and ice-cold drinks. Keep the summer vibes super chilled with party food that is easy to eat with paper party tableware, making tidying up a breeze once your guests have left.
Even better you don’t have to spend a fortune! Just get your friends to bring their own drinks and favorite BBQ bites whilst you supply the venue and most importantly the BBQ. Everyone wins!
2. Tea Party
Keep your summer party super-classy this year with a classic English tea party theme. Go all out with our Let’s Partea Balloon Bunting and Cup and Saucer Bunting and decorate your party table with delicate floral tableware such as afternoon tea party cups, tea party flag paper straws, floral tea paper plates, and napkins.
Our afternoon tea cupcake stand is a great way to display all your sweet treats – the cute teapot design will be loved by all your guests! This theme works perfectly for both an adult birthday party or for little ones and their best friends – and it could even be the start of a super hen do (before all the shenanigans begin!)
3. Create an Outdoor Movie Night
There are tonnes of great ways to throw an outdoor movie night. If you want to go all out, you could hire a giant inflatable movie screen! Or if you’re tighter on space, purchasing your own cheap projector and hanging up a large white sheet can be a great cost-effective way that would work just as well.
For snacks, you could create a fun movie snack cart and a popcorn station – simply place our fun popcorn boxes or treat bags on a treat table for your guests to pick up throughout the party.
AND… after dark why not light a bonfire to toast some marshmallows! YUM!
4. Festival
Summer parties are always best outside, with the BBQ blazing and the sunshine keeping you warm, so why not bring Glastonbury to your home with some music and festival-themed decorations?
Party decorations play a big part in any event, as they help to create a specific atmosphere as well as enhance your theme. Get the hay bales out to provide fun seating for your guests, and decorate your garden with colourful backdrops, neon birthday bunting and fairy lights to light up the party well into the evening.
Create your own glitter bar station for you and your guests to get your full-on festival vibes on. Then you simply need to get your sparkly wellies out and make it a party to remember!
