Best Themed Party Ideas For People Of All Ages
Planning a themed party can add a ton of fun and creativity to any celebration, whether you’re throwing a birthday bash, family gathering or community event. With so many themes to choose from, you can find one that fits every age group and make it an event to remember.
Here are some of the best themed party ideas for all ages to spark some inspiration!
- Outback adventure
Bring the Aussie outback to life with a fun adventure theme celebrating everything Australian! Deck out your space with artificial eucalyptus branches, set up a BBQ or outdoor grill and add some classic Aussie party supplies to complete the experience — think sausage rolls, lamingtons and other iconic treats that everyone loves. Keep guests entertained with backyard cricket, a gumboot toss or a scavenger hunt where they can “explore the outback”. This theme is perfect for all ages – just adapt the games to match the crowd!
- Hollywood glam
Give everyone a reason to get glammed up with a Hollywood theme! Roll out the red carpet and create a star-studded entrance complete with a DIY photo booth, sparkly decor and “VIP” badges as part of your essential party supplies. Set a dress code where guests come as their favourite celebrity to add a touch of mystery and excitement to the night. Provide props for fun photos, such as sunglasses, feather boas and sparkly hats.
- Hawaiian luau
Bring a tropical twist with a Hawaiian luau theme! With Hawaiian shirts, leis and tropical-themed party supplies like tiki cups, this theme works well for summer gatherings. For all ages, add activities like a coconut toss, limbo or even a DIY sandpit for little ones to dig around. Create a vibrant tropical playlist, and consider having a DIY smoothie bar or mocktail station so everyone can make their own colourful concoctions. Pineapple and mango are your friends here!
- Alice in Wonderland tea party
For a whimsical, all-ages celebration, try an Alice in Wonderland tea party! Set the scene with mismatched teacups, quirky “Drink Me” labels and oversized playing cards for decor. You can set up a long table with fun colourful tableware and use themed party supplies like miniature “Eat Me” treats, pocket watches and vintage-inspired teapots to create that mad tea party feel.
This theme works for all ages, with activities like a game of croquet for kids or a “guess the riddle” game for adults. Add a costume contest where guests come dressed as their favourite Wonderland character.
