There are many different cocktail theme parties to choose from. You could host a Retro themed party or choose a Beach or island theme. A Gajra theme could also be used. Whatever theme you choose, you can be certain to throw a memorable party. Here are some suggestions for hosting a cocktail party.
Retro-themed cocktail parties
You can have a retro themed cocktail party by using vintage-style invitations. They are available at a specialty store like Sugar & Spice or Etsy. Instruct your guests that they should wear cocktail attire from 50's to 60's eras. You can decorate your invitations with food and other decorations.
For the party itself, you will need to provide a retro cocktail menu. You can offer signature cocktails as well as non-alcoholic drinks. It is a good idea to have some fun food available to keep the theme alive.
Apart from food and drink, music and decorations will be important to your party. For a retro cocktail party, you can play some classic jazz music or the classics from Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. Your guests will appreciate a well-stocked bar. Cocktail accessories like pimento-stuffed olives and maraschino cherries can be prepared. You can also use light-up ice cubes to create 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. You can let your guests wear their favorite vacation tees and flip-flops. Whatever your budget, it doesn't really matter what you can wear. The key is to make guests feel comfortable. You can also play tropical music to set the mood and create an island-themed atmosphere.
No matter if you are hosting a party at your house, office, hotel or other location, it can transform the space into an island oasis. For the ideal beach environment, you can use light blue tablecloths along with beach-themed decorations. Some other beach-themed decorations include artificial sand (seaweed), and Hawaiian leis. There are also inflatable palm trees and palm tree cutouts, as well as beach balls in all sizes.
Gajra theme parties with cocktails
Gajras are a great way to be included in your wedding celebration theme. This theme can be used for your wedding reception in a white palette or you can make a Bohemian or Caribbean cocktail party. There are even Gajra cocktail theme invitations to help you create your own unique party.
A cocktail theme party can be as simple or as extravagant as you choose. Invite guests to wear clothes in the same color as you choose. You can also create a dress code if you wish. The theme can be used to guide the decor and menu. If you love gin and tonic, you might consider a gin & juice party. Even light appetizers can be provided to go with your cocktails. A bourbon sampling party is another option. Guests can bring their favorite bottles to share.
