21st Birthday Party Theme Ideas

21st Birthday Party Theme Ideas

21st birthday parties are such a milestone birthday to celebrate!  Turning 21 symbolises transitioning into adulthood, newfound responsibilities and personal growth.  In the Booth loves to attend 21st Birthday parties to help bring the fun, excitement, laughter, and help your guests to capture images throughout the night.  We have attended many memorable themed parties over the years. here are some of our best party themes to consider for your 21st birthday.

Casino Night

Time to bust out your best dress and shine those shoes for a 21st birthday theme that will take you to the Monaco’s famous Casino de Monte-Carlo. Think suits, bowties, stunning dress, back and gold tableware and roulette tables as far the eye can see.

Colour

Want all your guests to be dress head to toe in your favourite colour?  Consider the colour themed 21st birthday, for example. Ask your guest to dress in patterns or head to toe in pink to suit your theme.

Letter Party

Ask your guest to dress up as something beginning with the first letter of your name, or the first letter of their name. This is a great way to get everyone involved – and we love seeing the hilarious costume ideas!

When I grow up…

What did you want to be when you grow up? One of our all-time favourite 21st Birthday themes! Image all your party guests showing up as ballerinas, dinosaurs, firemen, astronauts, fairies…

Masquerade Ball

An all-time favourite when it comes to themed 21st birthday parties. A masquerade leaves it open to incorporate anything else into your birthday party.

Era Party

Era’s and throwback parties are always a hit with guests. Take it back 21 years to the early 00’s when denim was doubled, jeans were worn under dresses and wallets attached to a chain in your back pocket..

Partner Swap

This is one of our all-time favourite party themes! Ask your guest to come dressed as their partner. If they’re single, ask them to come dress as their parent of the opposite sex. This theme is perfect for those who love a laugh!

Rubik’s Cube Party

Ask your guest to come dressed in six items of clothing all in different colours. The aim is to ‘solve’ the Rubik’s cube and be all in one colour by the end of the evening. First one to solve the puzzle, wins!

Hollywood

Why not bring your favourite celebrities together to celebrate your 21st? This is such a versatile 21st birthday theme as your guests can come as celebrities, movie characters, book characters, anime characters and anyone in between.

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort wedding for Corey & Rishelle

GOLD COAST WEDDING VENUE

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort

We love nothing more than a Gold Coast wedding, especially when hosted at Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort at Main Beach, Gold Coast. Corey and Rishelle chose to celebrate their most special day at this gorgeous beachside location. It’s hard to believe from their beautiful photos complete with palm trees that Corey and Rishelle hosted a winter wedding!

Guests gathered outdoors for a stunning afternoon ceremony and later gathered in the Horizons room to kick up their heels and dance the night away.   Corey and Rishelle got to spend their special day with their smallest guest of honour, their daughter. Rishelle’s girls looked absolutely stunning in black while the groomsmen donned matching black ties with a stone grey jacket. We absolutely love the sweet and loving images provided by The Lane Creators. 

Corey & Rishelle’s Wedding Reception at Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort

Once the formalities were over, Rishelle and Corey’s guests got right into the celebrations! Opting for a black backdrop, Corey and Rishelle’s guests hit the dancefloor and photo booth as the night kicked on. How fun are the heart glasses the couple chose to add to the props table for the night? Guests also utilised the beautiful white roses as props – a trend we love seeing! Corey and Rishelle choose our ‘Two Hearts Grey’ print design which matches in perfectly with their wedding colour scheme.  Style onQ was onsite to assist with Turing Rishelle and Corey’s wedding dreams into reality – providing beautiful florals and décor for the day. Tina Kristen weddings were on hand providing the glam hair and makeup for Rishelle and her bridal party.

A note from the Bride…

Mackay Wedding for Morgan & Chloe

Some of our favourite Mackay wedding examples are the ones hosted on private properties. From family homestead, to holiday houses In the Booth has attended weddings in all sorts of places. In the Booth Mackay travelled to Ilbilbie with our booths to help celebrate Morgan and Chloe’s special day. Our Mackay team loves nothing more than an outdoor celebration to showcase the stunning surrounds and locations in Mackay.

Morgan and Chloe’s guests absolutely loved using our Guest Cam feature.  We especially love the vintage cars that were snapped using Guest Cam. Check out Morgan and Chloe’s gorgeous Guest Cam station they made especially for their wedding! In the Booth Mackay was lucky enough to watch a stunning outdoor sunset at Morgan and Chloe’s Mackay wedding.

Morgan and Chloe opted for an outdoor reception with guests being surrounded by fairy lights as they dance the night away. We absolutely loved the addition of natives and eucalyptus at Morgan and Chloe’s wedding. The couple opted for a simple rustic style cake adorned with beautiful florals.

Stunning Ilbilbie Queensland Wedding

Chloe was the most stunning bride; she opted for a white wedding gown with flowing tulle train. Chloe’s best girls stood beside her wearing red and personalising the style of their own dresses. The Groomsmen wore classic dinner suits and later in the evening were more casual with suspenders and white button downs. We loved that the bridal party all wore denim jackets for the reception part of the evening. Denim jackets double as a great gift to your bridal party and fun way to accessories for the evening.

Finally, we thought Morgan and Chloe’s choice of our ‘Just Married’ chalkboard effect print design was the ideal match for their relaxed outdoor reception. Our grey backdrop is always a classic favourite too. It especially reminds us of the vintage photo booth curtain effect where your guests are the star of the show!

Christmas Party Ideas

CHRISTMAS PARTY PLANNING INSPIRATION

Christmas parties and end of year parties take up most of our social calendar throughout November and December. Truth be told, Australians love a reason to celebrate and let our hair down especially at the end of the working year. The Christmas Party is often the social event of the working season, as you gather with your peers to celebrate the year that was. Photo booths and Christmas parties go hand in hand.

In the Booth celebrates hundreds of Christmas and end of year party’s right across Australia with our photo booths. We love nothing more than joining you to celebrate the year that was for your workplace. Photo booths are increasingly popular at all events, however Christmas parties and end of year parties are some of our favourite reasons to celebrate. Our booths are ever popular at Christmas functions and end of year events and it’s a great way to break the ice for the evening.

Christmas Party Ideas

Christmas Party Ideas & Planning Tips

  • Start planning early: While December may seem like AGES away, we guarantee it’ll be here before you know it! Christmas Parties and end of year parties are the highlight of most work social calendars. You don’t want to leave your planning to the last minute.
  • Be realistic: The work ‘budget’ always comes up when planning your Christmas party or end of year party. Be realistic about what your expenses will be. Consider what additional extras you will be able to have on the night. 
  • Make sure you book in advance: November and December and very busy times of year for events and celebrations. Some venue spaces will book out far in advance. Make sure you secure your date for your Christmas Party to avoid missing out!
  • Choose the right venue: Choosing the right venue can be pivotal in your successful Christmas party. You want to make sure you are choosing the perfect event space to host your Christmas party. Ensure there’s enough space for guests and full facility available for the event.
  • Listen to what the people want: Your team should be able to tell you their Christmas party ideas without ‘telling you’ what they would like to see at their Christmas Party. See what additional things may take their fancy. Perhaps it will be particular food, a theme for the party or maybe something a little additional to kick the party off. May we suggest a photo booth? 😉
