Here are top party themes for a Leo…
Pool Party
Since Leos are summer babies, it only makes sense to host a legendary pool party to celebrate their birthday! Inflate the floats, pump the music, and get the birthday party started!
The beauty when planning a pool party is that it can be as big or small as you want. You can choose a fun theme like Barbie, Jaws, or mermaids, but of course you can always just go with a good old fashioned pool party.
Keep the energy high with exciting musical entertainment like a DJ or live band to play your favorite songs. If you don’t want anyone to get stuck in the kitchen during the birthday party, consider booking food trucks and bartenders to keep guests fed and their thirst quenched.
Casino
Go big and bold for this Leo birthday party with an exciting casino theme. Bring the glitz and glam of Las Vegas to your venue with these creative ideas and inspiration that are perfect to celebrate a Leo.
Transform your event space into a lively casino with ambient lighting, poker tables, and giant playing card decor. Serve classic cocktails like martinis and Old Fashioneds and light bites including charcuterie.
What’s a trip to Vegas without Elvis Presley? Book an Elvis impersonator that will perform hits and mingle with guests as The King. You can also book a strolling magician to wow the crowd and of course, rent classic casino games.
Luau
Take advantage of the warmer weather of the summer with a tropical luau themed birthday party for a Leo. This party theme is a classic for a reason, so let’s get planning!
First things first when planning a luau party, you’ll need to decorate your space with all things tropical. Include palm trees and bright flowers, as well as tiki torches and beach sand. Don’t forget to include a dress code so guests wear their best Hawaiian prints, grass skirts, and coconut bras.
Do you know what will take your luau party to the next level for a Leo birthday? Bold entertainment. Find exciting entertainment like hula dancers, ukulele players, fire dancers, and much more.
1980s
What’s more bold than the 1980s? With bright colors, iconic fashion, and loud music, this decade is the perfect birthday party theme for a Leo to celebrate.
When decorating for this Leo birthday party theme, incorporate memorabilia from the decade. Use accents like VHS, neon colors, and of course, posters of classic bands and performers.
Capture all of the excitement at this birthday party with a photo booth so guests will be able to post their throwback pictures on Instagram. Obviously, you’ll need to channel the sound of the decade too. Book an 80s cover band to perform all of your favorite songs and set the tone of the celebration.
Carnival
Carnivals make the perfect party theme for the summer, especially for a Leo birthday party? Invite guests to a day under the big top with all of the classic carnival activities, food and drinks, and nostalgic accents.
What’s your favorite food at the carnival? Whether it’s the candy apples, popcorn, or corn dogs, make sure to have plenty of these treats available during your celebration. You can serve them on a table or at individual stands for an added touch.
The Bash has plenty of carnival and circus inspired entertainment for this Leo birthday party theme. Book stilt walkers, clowns, or face painters that will make guests feel like they are at a real authentic carnival.
Old Hollywood
An Old Hollywood party theme captures the glamor and elegance of the time period, perfect for a Leo! Dive into the creativity and detail that will bring this fabulous theme to life.
Glitz and glamor is the backdrop for this birthday party. Roll out the red carpet, decorate with a black and white color scheme, and incorporate classic movie posters in your event space. Request a black tie attire so everyone will look the part, too.
Throughout the celebration, you’ll want to actually play the classics from the time period, so why not book an outdoor movie screen to feel completely immersed? Invite your favorite stars to attend the birthday festivities including a Marilyn Monroe impersonator or a Frank Sinatra tribute act to mingle with guests. If you want more of an upbeat and dance atmosphere, you’ll love the energy of a jazz band to get people on the dance floor.
