Bridgerton
Spring is the perfect time to transport guests back in time to the lavish world of Regency-era England with a Bridgerton themed party (especially since season 4 premieres on Netflix this May)! Imagine a garden setting adorned with pastel ribbons, elegant tea sets gracing lace covered tables, and guests in their finest Regency attire.
Book unique themed entertainment to help set the tone like silhouette artists, ballroom dancers, or a talented string quartet. Whether you're channeling the grace of Daphne or the wit of the Featheringtons, hosting a Bridgerton themed affair promises an afternoon of opulence, intrigue, and maybe a little bit of scandal!
Spring Break
Is there a better theme for the season than a spring break themed party? If you want to reminisce on your college days to trips to Miami or Punta Cana, bring those tropical vibes to your spring theme party. Recreate this memory by booking a DJ and having plenty of space to dance. If you can, host at a pool, load up some water guns, and book a bartender to keep the drinks flowing for this spring break themed party.
Picnic Party
The spring season is meant for picnics, we don’t make the rules! Take advantage of the warmer weather and sunshine by hosting a special picnic for your birthday party, bridal shower, or other special event. In your backyard, at the beach, or in the park, set up a long, short table with plenty of colorful pillows and blankets to sit on. Dine al fresco with light bites or catering from your favorite restaurant while you enjoy the fresh spring breeze. Consider booking an event planner to make your picnic party extra memorable.
Springtime Serenade
No matter what spring party theme you choose to celebrate, you’ll need music to help set the tone. On The Bash you can browse all different types of professional musicians including live bands, jazz, singers, violinists, and much more. Start your search for the perfect spring party theme entertainment.
Baseball Opening Day
Step up to the plate and impress your guests with a party for Opening Day! Deck out your space with pennants, jerseys, and baseball memorabilia to create an authentic stadium vibe. Serve up classic ballpark fare like hot dogs, peanuts, and cracker jacks, and quench everyone's thirst with ice cold sodas, refreshing lemonades, and your favorite ballpark beer. Set up a mini baseball diamond in the backyard for some friendly competition or simply kick back and enjoy the game on the big screen. Your opening day party is guaranteed to be a grand slam!
You can also book a photo booth to capture moments from Opening Day! Work with a photo booth rental vendor to organize a baseball diamond or stadium backdrop with plenty of props like bats, gloves, and baseballs.
Brunch
If it’s still a little chilly outside, brunch makes the perfect spring theme party because it’s completely customizable. Invite your friends and family to your favorite restaurant for a mid morning meal, or easily make your own brunch at home with all of the favorites like waffles, bagels, and plenty of mimosas.
Spring Carnival
Step right up because a carnival is a unique and exciting spring theme party! If you’re hosting a larger celebration with more people, a carnival will be an unforgettable experience. Book carnival games and rides through The Bash, serve fried food favorites, and include one of a kind entertainment like stilt walkers, clowns, and human statues.
Easter
Easter is the first official holiday of the spring season, so you need to celebrate big! In addition to decorating with plenty of florals and pastel tones, you’ll definitely want to host a traditional Easter egg hunt and organize a visit from the Easter Bunny. Whether this party is for the kiddos or adults, everyone will enjoy posing with the bunny for a festive photo op.
Outdoor Movie Night
Spring is the perfect time to host the outdoor movie night you’ve always wanted to. For your spring birthday party, book an outdoor movie screen for your backyard, set up plenty of comfortable seating, and put on your favorite movie. Don’t forget to serve popcorn and other favorite movie candy.
Wine Tasting
Why not host a special wine tasting for a unique spring party theme? Do this right in your own home by booking a professional sommelier who is an expert in all things wine. They can lead tastings and food pairings so you and guests can learn all about your favorite types.
