162. How To Be Awesome At Choosing A Party Theme

Today we are talking PARTY THEMES!  Lindsay is sharing what she thinks is the best way to go about brainstorming and choosing a party theme… and of course we are talking about ALL SORTS of themes - some traditional and some totally creative and unexpected. Even for the most causal or smallest parties, a theme is the best way to give your event a feeling and a vibe… and it makes it so much fun to plan. And one of our main goals in party planning is to make sure you are doing it in a way that allows you to enjoy (not dread) the process. We’re talking about picking a theme that is perfect for you or the birthday boy or girl… at this age and stage… we’re covering adult parties and kid parties, birthdays and holidays.  Every party is better with a theme… so that’s what we’re doing today!   The goal: Pick a theme that just feels RIGHT for this moment - this age and stage. How far out:  Far enough to plan, but not too far that it would change Essential:  Make sure you will love the process - that’s key! With the theme you choose! The process: Brain dump of the themes!
