20 Spring Party Themes - Spring Party Ideas

Woodland Easter Brunch

For a decidedly rustic, woodland-themed Easter table, start with natural elements like wood slice chargers and a burlap runner to set the tone. Fleck tan acrylic paint (thinned with a bit of water) on undyed farm eggs with a small paintbrush. Once dry, use a gold paint pen to draw guests’ initials, then place atop a nest of moss and twigs. Place additional flecked eggs on candlesticks (interspersed with anemones, ferns, and eucalyptus) to add height and texture to the table. To continue the forest theme, choose flatware with twig-style handles.

A Berry Sweet Party

Table of Tulips

A vintage tulip-patterned quilt lays the groundwork for a thematic spring celebration. Pastel plates and a pretty rose-colored pitcher up the feminine vibe. Curvy tulip stemware is in keeping with the theme.

Party favor recommendation: Sugar cookies cut from tulip-shaped cutters make for a sweet take-home gift.

Soda Float Social

Memorial Day celebrates the end of spring and ushers in summer in a festive display of red, white, and blue. Patriotic pinwheels crafted from fabric with cute soda cap centers can be reused for the 4th of July. Craft a garland using baker’s twine and paper straws cut at varying lengths.

Snack on Parmesan Tots served in vintage soda crates, and stir up a float, made just the way you like it. We suggest classic cola with cherry ice cream and root beer with vanilla ice cream (try caramel sauce on top!).

Rosé and Croquet Girlfriends' Picnic

Back Porch Party

An enclosed porch with a bright painted floor is packed with seating to host a spontaneous, casual get-together. A table positioned in the middle of the action is a proper perch for snacks, drinks, and a crowd-sourced puzzle.

Pasta Night Dinner Party

Featuring garden ingredients like Pea-and-Mint Stuffed Shells, a springtime pasta and chopped salad supper with family and friends is always a good idea. Decorate the table in a seasonal colorway (here, blue, white, and yellow create a fresh look). Daffodils plucked from the yard add a cheerful touch to the table setting.

Happy Hour Drinks Cart

Bar cart equals portable party, which makes spring entertaining a breeze. Pre-made punches mean you don't have to play bartender all evening. Stock a multi-tiered bar cart with acrylic drinkware, straws, and cute paper napkins, and let guests help themselves. Bring out a record player and a stack of albums—someone is sure to fill the role of DJ!

"Ladies Who Lunch" Party

Garden Party

Invite fellow gardeners to a breezy brunch complete with vintage seed packets, garden-to-glass cocktails, and a whole lotta terra-cotta. Dress up a rustic farm table with spring flowers arranged in terra-cotta pots and pretty place settings using terra-cotta pot “saucers” as chargers.

Bring the outside in with moss, lavender, and ferns in hanging baskets. Daffodil blooms create a focal point on the table, while natural fiber placemats and simple dinner and salad plates round out the look. Designate seating with mini ceramic pots filled with moss and a marbleized egg.

Easter Feast

Neighborhood Breakfast Buffet

Create a breakfast buffet your friends and family will go bananas for! Invite neighbors to walk over in their PJs for a homemade, diner-inspired breakfast or brunch buffet at your house. Serve these new favorites featuring bananas on the kitchen counter for an easy serve-yourself morning get-together, with an endless cuppa joe, of course.

On the menu:
Banana Bread Flapjacks
One-Bowl Chocolate Banana Bread
Peanut Butter Banana Bread Granola

Afternoon Tea Party

Do as the British do. Host an afternoon tea party for a change of entertaining pace. Serve Jasmine Madeleines with Lemon-Poppy Seed Glaze alongside an assortment of teas, such as Earl Grey and Assam as well as herbal varieties like chamomile and mint.

The springy blue-and-white palette with pretty cups and saucers and a decorative tea pot is a dainty backdrop for a 4 p.m. soiree.

Beach Party Picnic

Good Morning Get-Together

With a sunny breakfast nook this adorable, your friends won't want to leave after breakfast. A morning get-together is a great way to start the weekend, and the menu can be as simple as freshly baked scones and juice and coffee. Keep a garden stool handy for extra seating. It can easily be moved out of the way when not in use.

Ice Cream Sandwich Social

Warmer weather calls for a cool treat. Take your ice-cream party to the next level (and ditch the mess) with these festive, make-ahead ice cream sandwich recipes. You can add even more color by adding extra sprinkles to the waffle batter, plus multihued striped linens stick with the springy, rainbow theme.

Pro tip: To keep these treats colder longer, nestle a serving platter in a larger bowl of ice.

Ultimate Easy-Breezy Al Fresco Porch Party

Grazers unite! For the ultimate, casual outdoor affair, take it to the porch. Lay out a buffet of finger foods featuring seasonal ingredients that embrace the great outdoors, just like a good ol' porch party does. Set placemats down the length of a farm table for a mismatched runner that sets a come-as-you-are tone. Pick a color palette (here, quintessentially country blue and white), and stick with it when choosing serving pieces and napkins.

On the menu:
Sweet Pea Green Goddess Dip
Apricot-Prosciutto Focaccia
Tomato-Manchego Tartlets
Chile-Lime Corn Wheels
Mozzarella, Red Pepper & Bacon Skewers
Cookiewiches (Sandwich two store-bought cookies with a favorite jam or spread. Roll the outer edges with a crumbly coating of your choice for decorative texture.)

Painting/Art Birthday Party

A kids' birthday party with an art theme deserves equally creative treats (and on a stick—even better!). Dip puffed cereal treats in white candy melts dyed with food coloring in your color palette, insert a craft stick, and display in metal gallon paint cans. Create "drip marks" from cut construction paper. Continue the look with splatter paint paper napkins, garland made from paint swatches looped together, painter's tape as cup labels, and a canvas drop cloth in lieu of a standard tablecloth.
