A themed event, when done correctly, can get your guests mingling and having fun from the moment they step into the room.

To theme, or not to theme, that is a question we get often asked, so here’s a bit of sage advice from the event goddess!

When a theme is inherent:

In honor of a person? Then s/he IS the theme. Events such as award dinners, memorial services, retirement parties or BIG number birthdays fit this category. It’s not that these events don’t really have a theme per se, but the theme is the PERSON of honor. All focus should be on them.
Tip: When throwing a party in honor of someone – and they know it – ask about their favorite foods & drinks. If they are known for a hobby or are passionate about something include elements of these in the event decor and food. Make it as honoree-specific as possible.

Corporate events: Do you suffer from BMS? Boring meeting syndrome? Get employees excited to attend that meeting or annual holiday bash.

Either way, a themed event encourages employees to relate to each other in a fun and festive way.
