Now that the worst of the pandemic is (hopefully) over, we can all have a bit of fun – within limits, of course. A lot of us are finding a good excuse to plan a party or event for 2022, and if you are keen on having an event that's one for the books, you're not alone.
But if you'd like your party to be as memorable as possible, one of the most exciting things you could do is have a theme. Whilst some themes have been tried and tested, it doesn't hurt to delve into other brilliant themes that could make your event truly spectacular. Here, then, is your best list of party and event themes for 2022.
- A carnival/fairground theme
A carnival or fairground theme speaks for itself – and it could do wonders for the enjoyment of your guests. Whether you’re having an adult-only party or one with the kiddos, a carnival/fairground theme is certain to delight all your attendees. To make a splash, hire some crowd-favourite carnival or fairground rides, like a Ferris wheel, dodgems, or a carousel. You can make more than a few people happy with these rides, and if you want something extraordinary, put up game stalls and arcade machines, too. You can see help from an expert in fairground hire, and they can make sure that you have all the attractions and rides you need - and then some.
- An 80’s event
You can also go retro with an 80’s party, featuring the best that the decade has to offer – from amazing pop music to breakthrough fashion and more. You can even hold dance contests where guests can try their very best to perform those signature 80s dance moves and don't forget the neon signs, boomboxes, and bold wall draping.
- A Coachella-inspired party
Nothing makes one feel like celebrating more than a Coachella-inspired party, complete with the right music, fashion, and art! You can make it more exciting by asking everyone to arrive in full BOHO style, and have an amazing playlist with summer tunes that will get everyone grooving to the music. You can feature different sculptures as decoration for your venue, like giant flowers and butterflies, and set up a carousel or Ferris wheel. Have your guests chill out on bean bags and rugs with cushions, and you’re all set for a fantastic night.
- A Wild West theme
If you want something that can impress your guests to no end, why not go for a Wild West theme? The night won’t be complete without hay bales and barrels for decoration, but you can go more rustic with picnic benches, canvas or white bunting, and strings of lights festooned around your venue. Of course, make sure you have the best games, and if you can set up a rodeo bull (and a competition!) your guests are sure to have a fantastic time. Whilst you’re at it, have your attendees dress up as cowboys and cowgirls and have a contest for who has the fanciest boots.
- An Oktoberfest event
Oktoberfest is always a big hit with the crowds, and if you’d like to celebrate the autumn in style, you can hold an Oktoberfest event at a big outdoor venue or beer garden. The festival is best held outdoors, and decorate the place with rustic wooden benches, chandeliers, and canopies on the ceiling.
