You’ll Love These 4 Dinner Theme Ideas

Dinner parties are excellent venues for people to gather, talk, and bond over food. However, there are instances where even though the food is fantastic, the people are not enjoying the vibe they’re getting. As such, it’s time to plan a themed dinner for your significant other, friends, or family members. In order to stop from becoming stale, try one of our favorite dinner theme ideas.

By following a theme, you’re making dinner parties better. You can even choose the menu according to the theme, design the place based on the theme, and make other theme-related gestures that your guests may enjoy. Are you looking for ideas? Here are several dinner themes you can try at home!

SOUPer Trooper

If you’re planning to set up dinner during the colder months of the year, chilly doesn’t mean boring. Instead, use the weather to your advantage and throw a soup-themed dinner party! Since it’s late into the year, the party can either be a formal or casual event. But to round up the menu a little bit, be sure to add a delicious gourmet salad or grilled cheese sandwiches to dunk in the soup. Then, enjoy an appetizer filled with seasonal fresh fruit gazpacho and seal it all off with a gourmet spiced hot chocolate for dessert.

If the weather permits, try dining outside instead. Set up the venue and fill it with warm colors, candles, and a couple of patio heaters. You don’t have to buy them, but you can rent them from local stores. To make the setting cozier, drape warm blankets on the back of each guest’s seat. After dinner, all guests can head inside and sit around the fireplace to warm up. While everyone is feeling cozy, surprise them with a few bottles of wine and create various wine pairings to amp up the experience.

The City of Love, Paris

Paris, also known as the City of Love, is a romantic setting for a dinner date. However, if now’s not the time to travel overseas for dinner, then you might want to try a Paris-themed dinner.

The French are known for their fantastic food. You would want to focus on French recipes for a more authentic feel. Throw a French-inspired grazing picnic dinner party in your own home by visiting a local craft store and picking up inexpensive baskets. Use them to present your menu coming from various regions of the country. Keep the setting intimate by inviting only your partner, and talk about life over a few drinks and good food. Bon Appétit!

Can’t Read My Poker Face

For those seeking more casual dinner theme ideas, a pizza party is the answer. But mix it with the fun of poker and enjoy a Poker Pizza party at home. The party will be fun for both kids and adults. Since pizza is the main menu, you can include activities like build your pizza to encourage participation.

Meanwhile, pizza doesn’t have to be the usual cheese, pepperoni, and mushrooms recipe. Why not jazz things up with an assortment of fresh, seasonal ingredients like pears, blue cheese, corn, squash, pesto, and truffles? At the same time, don’t forget about the kids’ favorites. Get the children a different selection of ingredients that they would love. While the adults are playing poker, allow the kids to have their table to enjoy their self-made pizzas. 

Conclusion

Dinner theme ideas don’t have to be expensive to be fun. Through a bit of imagination, every dinner party can turn extraordinary. It also helps to maximize all the options you might have to save money. Hopefully, through these unique yet straightforward dinner themes, you get to have fun with the people you love.
