Think themed parties are just for kids? Think again. Themes are a rising trend, changing the game for Orlando event planning and helping people plan better than ever before. Think back to Halloweens when you were younger — there’s no denying that the best parties were the ones where you could dress as fancy, funny, or spooky as you wished. Choosing a theme gives your guests a chance to get excited about your event and prepare for it with a costume, making it magical and memorable for all who attend.
Conversation Pieces
We’ve all been to that event where the crowd stands awkwardly still for hours, making painful small talk until the party’s over. Themes are the perfect excuse for people to strike up conversations, whether it’s by giving a compliment or laughing about each other’s costumes. Themes open the forum for new conversations and instantly make bonding between guests easier.
Beyond The Costume
Dress-up themes are great, but coordinating them with themed activities makes for a truly exciting event! For some friendly competition, you can host a Survivor themed event and assign team colors for guests to wear while being challenged to inflatable race courses or carnival games. For a more mysterious theme, you can host a Masquerade Casino where guests are encouraged to tap into their creativity and sport their most extravagant masks and apparel. Whichever form of entertainment you choose, there’s always a great theme to go with it.
Did We Mention The Photo-Ops?
Do you want people to keep chatting about how great your event was, even long after it’s over? Games, activities, and food are always highlights of an event, but the photos your guests capture will really make the memories stick. Before you know it, guests will be snapping and sharing all of their favorite pictures from the night, which is a great way to use social media to your advantage and get your brand and event out there.
Whether you have a birthday, company picnic, or other occasion coming up, be sure to use these tips to make your next Orlando event planning experience one to remember.
