Are you and your future spouse film buffs then roll out the red carpet and let your guests feel like stars for the night. A Hollywood-themed engagement party can feature elegant decor, a black-tie dress code, and even a photo booth with props inspired by famous films. Serve champagne, classic cocktails, and gourmet appetizers to create a luxurious atmosphere. Consider giving out awards for best-dressed guests or having a short film showcasing the couple’s love story.

Take a trip back in time and your guests back to the Jazz Age with a Great Gatsby-inspired party. Think flapper dresses, suspenders, and plenty of gold and black decorations. A live jazz band or a DJ playing swing music will set the perfect mood. Serve classic cocktails like martinis and whiskey sours alongside hors d’oeuvres that reflect the 1920s era.

Are you thinking about a chill, yet elegant celebration, a boho chic theme is perfect. Host your party in a lush garden or backyard with rustic wooden furniture, fairy lights, and floral arrangements.
