5 stylish black and gold-themed party ideas
1. Select a stunning venue
Firstly, your choice of venue for your black and gold-themed party will impact on the finished result of the party. When selecting a party venue, it is useful to consider proximity as well as transportation to and from the venue for practical reasons, to make sure your guests can attend with ease.
Other considerations that you will need to make when deciding on a venue are guest capacity, layout, and budget. All of these factors will impact on how creative you can be when it comes to planning the event. Take some time to research and visit potential venues to get a better feel for possible locations for your party.
Ideally, for a black and gold-themed party, it would be useful to choose a venue that already encompasses this theme – perhaps a venue offering all-black decor, which would make it easy to dress the venue up with gold decorations. Try to start your search for a venue by looking at function rooms, bars, nightclubs, hotels, and/or restaurants.
2. Glamour with your decorations
Once your venue is secured, your choice of decorations can make or break the look of the party. The decorations will be key to bringing the venue to life, showcasing your choice of theme, and offering aesthetic appeal and fun for your guests.
Whilst black and gold can feel like a luxurious choice of theme, it does not have to be expensive for you to decorate. You will find that creating black and gold DIY decorations can easily be done on a budget if needed. If you are working on a budget, you should know that it isn’t necessary to spend hundreds on fancy balloon arches and table runners. These types of decorations can be hand-made, or crafted by you as an alternative to seeking help from professional decorators.
Don’t forget that decorations do not just mean balloons and banners – they can also consist of little things such as props, cups, plates, confetti, your choice of seating, photos, party hats and backdrops.
Another element to think about for your decorations is your choice of lighting. Lighting can make or break the tone of an event, so you should think carefully about what type of lighting you would like to opt for. All of these together can help transform your venue from an empty room into the party venue of your dreams, ready to impress guests.
3. Dress to impress
After planning for your venue and decorations, it is useful to decide on a dress code for your guests. Again, take advantage of your chosen black and gold theme by asking your guests to embrace the theme through their choice of outfit.
Your invites could request a black-tie dress code, to match the sophisticated theme of black and gold, or you could take it one step further and ask guests to dress in either black or gold. Either way, when your guests show up looking their best, the sophisticated theme of black and gold will further come to life.
4. Stylish entertainment
A glamourous black-and-gold-themed party requires stylish entertainment for your party guests. Why not consider 360 photo booth hire to help capture the beauty of your charming venue as well as your black and gold decorations, and your guests’ impressive outfits? The resultant pictures will leave memories of the party that can be cherished for a lifetime.
Another form of entertainment you could provide your guests with could be a selection of games. For example, you could create a pass-the-parcel game whereby all the prizes are black or gold.
5. Sophisticated food & drink
In keeping with the stylish theme of black and gold, it would make sense to serve sophisticated food and drinks to align with your theme, such as prosecco or Champagne, and light-elegant buffet bites. On top of this, you could try serving your food and beverages in black and gold cups and plates.
Don’t forget to dazzle with a black and gold theme cake, which could make an impressive centrepiece for the table at the party. You might even wish to serve black and gold foods, such as black-dyed cupcakes with golden icing.
Black and gold themed parties can incorporate so many intriguing and exciting ideas! Hopefully, the above tips and advice will help inspire you if you are planning to hold a black and gold-themed bash anytime soon.
