1. Show how your love was written in the stars

We adore this engagement party theme from @ama.wellness on Instagram, which takes inspiration from a starry night sky to create a celebration with fairytale vibes.

2. Go a bit dark with a ‘til death do us part theme

If you and your spouse have a little bit of a macabre sensibility (and a great sense of humor), a “’til death do us part” engagement party theme is an awesome choice. It’s an amazing and unique option for the right couple.

3. Embrace nature with a rustic elegance theme

Those who enjoy a warm, country-inspired aesthetic will appreciate a rustic elegance theme, which brings in lots of natural elements, plants, and wood, and is particularly easy to DIY if you’re on a budget.

4. Everything’s coming up (red) roses

What could possibly be more romantic than red roses? Not to mention that they smell absolutely heavenly. That’s enough of a reason to make your engagement party theme roses, in our humble opinion!

5. Create a winter wonderland during the cozy season

For a winter engagement party, embrace the season with a magical winter wonderland theme, utilizing snowflakes, white decor, and plenty of cozy elements (like serving hot chocolate to guests, or providing them with soft blankets as party favors).

6. Put your own spin on a Great Gatsby theme

With the right combo of geometric Art Deco patterns, plenty of glam black and gold, and flapper-inspired outfits, your Great Gatsby-themed engagement party is sure to be a success.

7. Tempt your guests with a seafood boil

Here’s a truly unique option for a theme: a seafood boil! Choose this theme if you and your future spouse adore seafood and would genuinely enjoy consuming a seafood boil as the centerpiece of your celebration.

8. Host a masquerade ball at a mansion

Bring mystery and sophistication to your engagement party with this theme, using elegant masks, rich colors, opulent decorations, and if possible, a fancy setting (check out mansions near you on Peerspace for some suitable venue options).

9. Opt for hearts, hearts, and more hearts

No symbol of love and romance is more iconic than a simple yet classic heart theme. Show all your guests how in love you are by surrounding yourselves with hearts, using a red and pink color palette, and decorating with plenty of roses.

10. Merge sea and elegance for a nautical love theme

For those who love the ocean, a nautical party is a classic option, with navy and white decor as well as motifs like anchors.

11. Glam it up with a diamonds are forever

Channel true glam and elegance with a “Diamonds are forever” engagement party.

12. Autumn engagement parties: Harvest moon theme

For an autumnal engagement party, choose a harvest-inspired theme that features warm fall colors, pumpkins, cornucopias, and other symbols of the fall season.

13. Take a gamble on fun with a betting on love theme

We adore this fun, festive “Betting on love” casino/poker night party theme. Basically any event involving gambling works well for this one!

14. Get whimsical with a Midsummer Night’s Dream theme

Channel Shakespearean romance with an ethereal theme that incorporates soft lighting, flowing fabrics, and magical fantasy elements.

15. Show the world you’re on cloud nine

If you’re on cloud nine after getting engaged, the best way to celebrate that feeling is with a cloud-themed, all-white engagement party, like @lizwaslike did here.

After your engagement party, it won’t be long before you’re planning your shower! Check out these beautiful wedding shower decoration ideas to make yours stylish and memorable.

16. Feeling drunk on love? Share it with your guests!

Host a wine, beer, and/or champagne tasting for a fun and celebratory gathering with a drunk on love theme. (Just make sure to drink responsibly!)

17. Candlelit dinner on the beach

What’s more romantic than an intimate candlelit dinner? That same dinner, but on a beautiful beach near dusk!

18. Let the bride-to-be standout with a reverse white party

This theme idea is honestly genius! It’s pretty much the opposite of a wedding—instead of only the bride wearing white, everyone but the bride wears white. This way, the bride is the star of the celebration and gets to choose her favorite bright color to wear that’ll ensure she stands out from the crowd at her party.

19. Celebrate your sweet and bubbly love with an Aperol Spritz theme

This TikToker called it a “Love at First Spritz” themed engagement party, which is honestly a brilliant theme—it’s super specific, which ends up making it easier to have a cohesive theme and color palette, rather than limiting your options.

20. Delight your guests (and tastebuds!) with an “I Do” BBQ

How about an “I Do” BBQ? Not only is this theme capitalizing off a catchy rhyme, but it’s hard to go wrong with a BBQ, especially for a summer engagement.

21. Merge your heritages with a cultural fusion

Do you and your future spouse love to celebrate your cultural backgrounds? Blend them into a celebration that incorporates traditions, customs, and foods from both sides!
