516-794-9770

Have you ever wanted to throw a party but had no reason to? Well, who says you need an excuse? Every once and a while it's important to get together with friends and family to have a good time and relieve some of the stress that comes with everyday life, so make a reason to celebrate! Theme parties are a great way to let loose and have fun, so start planning your perfect night out today! If you're not sure which theme to choose, check out our top theme party ideas to help you get started.
  1. Around the World: You can find inspiration from different cultures and cuisines from all around the world. Start by picking a country, then research typical cuisine and traditions, and finish by discovering any important holidays the country celebrates and incorporate those ideas into your menu, decorations, and entertainment. 
  2. Time Warps: Throwing a party based on different time periods, decades, or specific dates always make for a good time. First, pick any interesting and exciting decade, generation, or era, and then incorporate as many historical things from that time period into your party! These themes are great for costumes so encourage your guests to come dressed up! 
  3. Inspired by Movies and Shows: Pop culture is one of the easiest tools to use if you're looking for inspiration. Take any movie, TV show, book, celebrity, or artist and make it the focus of your theme party! Try throwing a Hollywood party and have your guests come dressed like their favorite celebrity.
  4. Sports Celebrations: We all know sports are already a great excuse for a get together when they're on TV, so why not take it and make it something more? If you're looking to throw a party with sports involved, try hosting lawn games, a pickup game with friends before a BBQ, or a pre-tailgating party during the annual Fantasy Football draft. 
  5. Just for Fun: Don't limit yourself when it comes to choosing a theme. Anything that you're interested in can make for a great theme party with just a little creativity, time, and effort!
Once you've chosen your theme, it's time to choose a place to host your party. Here at Zacharys our event planner will help you plan the perfect night and will provide creative ideas that can help you capture the look and feel of your theme party.

Sweet Sixteen Party Etiquette FAQs

516-794-9770

If you’re in the middle of planning the big bash, you might be feeling overwhelmed and want some help. How can you make sure everyone stays safe? What about staying within your budget? And last but not least, how will you keep track of everything you planned? Follow these guidelines and your party is sure to be a success.
  1. Safety first - Even though your guests are old enough to know what is safe and what’s not, the majority are still minors. Have enough adults to help you supervise in order to avoid any unwanted mishaps, but don’t forget to still have fun!
  2. Checking your budget – Always refer back to your budget while you’re planning the celebration. Make sure to allot extra money for any unexpected expenses, and don’t forget to set an end time for the party to avoid having to pay for extra hours. If you’ve planned carefully, then going over budget shouldn’t be a concern.
  3. Keeping track – As you prepare for the party, keep a checklist of all the things you’ve done, what you need to do, and how much you've spent. This way, you won’t find yourself tangled up and confused about what is left to do as the day gets closer. It is also a good idea to keep any receipts and paperwork in a folder for easy access down the line.
Though planning a party can be a daunting task, the outcome will be everything you and your family hoped it would be. That’s where Zacharys comes in. Let us help you plan the perfect day and take some of your stress away to ensure the perfect night for your daughter's Sweet 16.
