The heat of the summer is the perfect time to host get-togethers. The energy radiates through New York as the spring chill shifts into the warm summer evenings, and there’s plenty of party fun to be had. But don’t just plan a party without first considering your summer party themes and design options. From garden parties to boho chic brunches, try out one of these summer party themes to impress your guests this season.
1. TikTok Party Themes
TikTok has been a powerhouse in the world of marketing, social interaction, and information digestion. Trendy dances, themes, or satire are all different spins that you can take to make these summer party themes resonate with your guests.
2. New York Luau
Dress up or down depending on your style and how all-out you want this tropical theme to go. A classic summer Luau is always a crowd-pleaser. Add in a Hawaiian shirt contest, and you might just have an annual tradition on your hands.
3. Garden Soiree Party Themes
Garden parties in New York emulate finery, a taste of sophistication, and a home-style getaway. Rooftop gardens are a fantastic twist for some crowds, and others prefer a more grounded garden in the suburbs. If you time your party planning right, you might even be able to incorporate a visit to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as part of the soiree experience.
4. Good Old Fashioned Barbecue
Skirting along the lines of a luau theme, a classic barbecue cookout is also a solid winner for a New York summer party. Hire a food truck or two, make it into a block party, or have a friendly rib cook off with your guests. Expand your barbecue palette even further and incorporate different regional barbecue styles like the vinegar-based Eastern NC, Kansas City-style, and classic Texas-style barbecue.
5. Boho-Chic Brunch
New York brunch is an unrivaled experience. Brunch is a perfect excuse to sleep in, dress up, and bask in the late morning sunshine with friends. Use brunch to inspire your party themes and watch all your guests rush to RSVP. Brunches can be customized to the hilt, including waffle charcuterie stations, bottomless mimosas, petit fours for a sweet treat, and craft coffee concoctions. Make your next brunch party a little more special by hiring a local barista or two.
6. Music Hall Mornings at GatherNYC
This year, GatherNYC has a series of musical performances on select Sundays. Live classical music intertwined with spoken word and poignant moments of silence. While this might not be your traditional party scene, it’s sure to be a lovely kickoff to an intimate gathering of friends or family.
