This post is all about the best birthday party themes to do this year.

1. Disco & Diamonds

I’ve been seeing this party theme EVERYWHERE, from bachelorette parties to birthday parties. Disco is really in right now. For a party with this theme, you’d decorate with everything disco themed and sparkly. Guests would come dressed in their sparkliest attire!

2. Coquette Theme

I am a big sucker for the coquette aesthetic. Everything about it is so perfect to me. It’s so pretty and feminine, and there is so much potential for cute decorations when it comes to party decor. Basically, you’d decorate with everything soft pink and bows!

3. Fairy Theme

This theme has been popular for a few years, and you really can’t go wrong with it. You’d decorate your party like a fairy garden–think butterflies, mushrooms, string lights, moss, etc. Guests could come dressed as fairies or anything you would find in a fairy garden (gnomes, woodland creatures, mushrooms, etc). It would be so perfect.

4. Taylor Swift Theme

If you (or whoever you’re throwing the party for) are a swifty, a Taylor Swift theme might be the birthday party theme for you! You could do so many different things with this party theme. You could do friendship bracelet inspired decor like they did, go with a “it’s me hi I’m the birthday girl its me” vibe, and so much more!

5. Bridgerton Theme

If you’re a Bridgerton girly like me, this party theme will be your bread and butter. I am so obsessed with the regency era aesthetic from Bridgerton, and it would be PERFECT for a birthday party.

6. Picnic Theme

I love a picnic birthday party. If you’re planning a summer/ warm weather birthday party, a picnic theme might just be the cutest thing ever! One of my friends threw a picnic birthday party a few years ago, and I wasn’t there but she said it was really fun.

7. Cowgirl Theme

This is another theme I’ve been seeing literally everywhere this year. There are so many routes you could go with this, I’ve seen coastal cowgirl, disco cowgirl (more on that later), space cowgirl, plain old western, and more. This theme is so trendy and you could go so many different directions.

8. Mamma Mia Theme

This party theme never gets old. It continues to be something that pops up every time I search party themes! If you’re like me and love Mamma Mia, this would be a really cute birthday party theme.

9. Disco Cowgirl

Here is the disco cowgirl theme I was talking about earlier! Out of all the different cowgirl party themes I’ve seen, this one is definitely the most popular right now.

10. Pool Party Theme

This is another theme that would be great for summer/ warm weather! The way they decorated in the picture is so cute. The heart pool floats are to die for.

11. Barbie Theme

No products found.

This is another theme that continues to be really popular year after year! It’s especially popular now though because of the Barbie movie coming out. Guests could come dressed as different Barbies!

12. Mermaid/ Under The Sea Party

If you’re a fan of mermaid/ sirencore, this party theme would be so cute. Guests could come as anything to do with mermaids or the sea, like pirates, mermaids, sea creatures, etc!

13. Garden Tea Party Theme

A tea party for a birthday party would be so cute! You could have all kinds of yummy little snacks and cakes, and everyone could dress up like they’re going to tea!

14. Nostalgia Theme

A nostalgia theme would be SO much fun. You’d pick whatever time period you want. Since I was born in 1998, if it was me, I’d go with either a 90s or 2000s theme. You could do nostalgic decorations, have games and such from that decade, and everyone could come dressed like they would’ve in that decade!

15. Saltburn Theme

Can’t leave out Saltburn! This party theme has been pretty popular since the movie came out. I even saw one of my friends post on Instagram a candle that she got that said it smelled like “Jacob Elordi’s bathwater” lolol.

16. Midnight Brunch

This would be such a fun party for the girlies. It’s a mix between a pj party and a brunch party. Everyone would come dressed in pjs, and you’d have brunch food and drinks!

17. Presentation Party

Presentation parties are so funny. This would be the perfect birthday party theme. You could set a theme for the powerpoints (a good one for a birthday party would be to have everyone make one about the birthday person) or just have everyone come up with their own!

18. Pretty In Pink Theme

You can never go wrong with a pink theme for a birthday party. You can do all pink decor and everyone can come dressed in pink!

19. Movie Party Theme

If you want something more down-low, a movie party theme is the best. You could make the set up super cozy, and you could set the theme to match whatever movie you’re watching or just “movie party” in general.

20. Opulence Theme

This theme has to do with all things luxury. Think Gatsby, gold/ champagne colored decor, pearls, diamonds, etc!
