Summer Party Playbooks: Curated guides for trending party themes

This one’s creating quite a stir on social media. Shake up the classic cocktail birthday bash and celebrate being a tini bit older with a—you guessed it—martini-themed party! Splash out on olive decor, favors and supplies (both the fruit and the hue), create a build-your-own martini bar and set up a sip-and-paint table. The martini puns? Endless. The martinis? Bottomless. The guest of honor? Ageless (maybe not on paper, but you know). Check out the full guide now for everything you need (including this cheers-worthy invitation).

Honey, honey, if you're craving a summer Euro vacation, well, this theme is obviously a match made in heaven for you. This is how to throw a birthday party that feels like a wedding on an idyllic Greek island—think blue and white decor, supplies and invitations contrasted against pops of bougainvillea and mirror ball-everything paired with a movie marathon and ABBA karaoke.

The latest and greatest twist on disco parties? Italian disco! Think about it—the glitz and glam of mirror balls and palazzo pants meeting homemade outdoor wood-fired pizza, a few bottles of vino and molto italiano red and white decor? Truly *chef’s kiss* here. The menu must, of course, take center stage (pro tip: “deliver” your pizzas in classic pizza boxes). That is, until the dance party reaches Saturday Night Fever pitch. But there’s more to this groovy theme than that (including an appetizing invitation), so check out our guide, per favore e grazie.
