Under The Stars Theme Party
Nothing is more fun, elegant, or cool than to have an under the stars party. This can literally mean a party at night either under the stars by a pool, under a tent, or creating the stars on the ceiling through light, on the walls, the dance floor and even the centerpieces.
Under the stars is a great party theme that goes well when combined with a Dress to Impress Party Theme. Having guests arrive looking great goes perfectly with the under the stars theme.
These parties are perfect for sweet sixteens, semi-formal or formal themes, birthday parties, cocktail parties or just about any other affair that requires elegance with an upscale feel.
You Will Need:
- Invitations
- Picking the right invitations to your party will help your guests envision your party and what it will be like "under the stars." Make sure to include:
- Date
- Time
- Location
- Expected Dress
- What to bring
- RSVP information
Make sure to invite guests 30 minutes before you expect them to arrive, this will help your party start "on-time" budgeting time for the fashionably late.
- Elegant/Trendy Clothing/Dress - Picking out the right dress or suit that fits and looks great is important. Put a lot of thought into if you would like to be the center of attention or if you would rather blend in. Also think if you would like your gests to dress the same as you or if you would like to wear something different to stand out. This can look great for pictures if coordinated. If you tell your guests to wear black, you can wear black with a bright color or wear a colored dress to indicate that you are the star of your own star party.
