You'll have an unforgettable party that your guests will never forget, no matter what theme you choose. These are some tips to help you throw a cocktail party.
Retro-themed cocktail parties
Use vintage-style invites for a retro theme party. These invitations can be purchased at a specialty shop like Sugar & Spice on Etsy. Encourage your guests to dress in cocktail attire from the 1950's and 1960's. Once you have chosen your invitations, you will be able to add decorations or food to set the tone of your party.
For the party, you'll need to offer a retro cocktails menu. This can include signature cocktails, as well as nonalcoholic drinks. To keep the theme alive, you will want to offer some kitschy food, such as deviled eggs and crudite platters, pigs in blankets, red velvet cupcakes and bowls of black-and-green olives.
A party is not only about food and drink. You also have to decide on music and decorations. A retro cocktail party can feature classic jazz music as well as classics such Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra. You will also need to provide a bar with enough liquor for your guests. Cocktail accessories such as pimentos-stuffed olives or citrus twists can also be prepared. Light-up ice cubes are also an excellent option for a retro-themed centerpiece.
Parties with a beach or island theme
Creating the perfect beach and island-themed cocktail party doesn't have to cost a fortune. A few tropical accents can make the party feel more tropical, like umbrellas and skirts made of hula fabric or tropical-colored flowers and tiki torches. Even flip-flops and t-shirts from vacation are acceptable. Regardless of your budget, the key is to make your guests feel comfortable. To create an island-themed ambience, you can play tropical music.
You can turn your space into an island paradise by hosting a beach party in your office, home, or hotel. Use light blue tablecloths and beach-themed decor and accessories to create the perfect beach environment. Seaweed, artificial beach sand, and Hawaiian lei are all other options for beach decorations. You will also find beach balls of various sizes, such as inflatable palm trees or palm tree cutouts.
Gajra theme parties with cocktails
Gajras can easily be integrated into your wedding theme. For the wedding reception you have two options. You can use a white color scheme or create a Bohemian or Caribbean themed cocktail party. Gajra cocktails theme invitations can be used to help you make your own party.
You have the option to make your cocktail theme party as simple or extravagant as you wish. Invite your guests to dress in a basic color scheme. If you would like, you could also establish a dresscode. A theme can be used as a guideline for decor and menu design. For example, a gin and juice party can be a perfect choice for those who love this type of drink. Light appetizers can be served to accompany the cocktails. Another theme that is great is a bourbon tasting event, where guests bring their favorite bottles of liquor.
