2. Easter Bunny Brunch
Gather your little ones around for a spring themed brunch event with all the delicious pastries and fruit juices you can think of. Add in some bunny themed party games to make it even better.

3. Sip and Paint Evening
Invite your closest friends over for an evening of fine wine and conversation as you work on your very own masterpiece. Host your own DIY painting party night, or book someone to come in and host the event for you.

Get all your baking and decorating supplies out and prepare to create some seriously cute cookies or cupcakes. Bake some treats the night before or buy some from the store and ask your loved ones to join you for a decorating party.
5. Spring Tea Party

Spring is the ideal time of year for a tea party. Whether you’re hosting a Mother’s Day celebration, an Alice in Wonderland themed event, or simply want to celebrate your love for vintage teacups — a spring themed tea party is where it’s at. Tell everyone all about it with this sweet striped invitation.
6. Pottery Painting Evening
Much like our wine and paint evening spring theme event, this one involves a craft activity — this time it’s pottery painting. You can either go along to a venue that offers this or host your own party at home, with items you’ve already made or ones you’ve bought from the store.
7. Dessert Party
You might think dessert parties are for the warmest summer months, but we think they’re perfect for spring too! Celebrate the onset of gorgeous weather with a dessert party filled with cupcakes, brownies, cookies, waffles, and all the tastiest sweet treats you can think of.

9. Spring Break
Welcome the onset of spring break by hosting a party. Whether you’re hosting at home or renting a venue, make your event feel memorable with colorful decorations and a playlist filled with feel-good tunes.
10. Farm-to-Table Dinner Party
Need the perfect excuse to hit up the farmer’s market? Plan a farm-to-table dinner party for your friends and family members and invite them to try the best of what’s available locally. Host indoors at home if the weather is chilly or bask in the sunshine in your backyard.
11. Pastel Pool Party
Design: Ana Sharpe Design
Pool parties aren’t just for summer. Give the traditional pool party theme idea a spring twist by opting for pastel colors instead of vibrant hues. Decorate your outside space with bunting, find pastel colored napkins and straws, and add a matching pool float or two. Use this vibrant pastel invite to spread the word about your pool party.
12. Picnic in the Park
Your spring theme get-together doesn’t have to be fancy. For something more laid-back, grab your favorite picnic blanket, invite some friends, and meet up with your go-to lunch bites and sweet treats. Find the perfect spot, lay out your blankets, and catch up over lunch.
13. Cactus Party
If you’re looking for a spring party theme that feels vibrant and fun, look no further than a cactus party. It’s a quirky concept for a birthday party, or you can host a housewarming party where you can share your love for plants and send your guests home with their very own cactus as a party favor.
14. Outdoor Movie Night
Design: Becky Nimoy Stationery
Prepare to host a spring event your guests will rave about. Set up a projector outside, grab some comfy seating and blankets, and invite them along to an outdoor movie night. Get them excited about what’s to come with this colorful outdoor movie night invite.
15. Spring Craft Party
Sometimes it’s nice to just get together and enjoy an evening of crafting together. Let your friends know you’d love them to stop by and work on craft projects together, or come up with a group project that you can tackle together. Bonus points if your craft is spring themed!
16. Wine Tasting Event
Fancy a wine event without the painting? No problem! Plan a wine tasting experience for your closest friends instead. It’s the perfect way to sample new wines and improve your knowledge in the process.
17. Ice Cream Party
Design: Becky Nimoy Stationery
Much like a dessert party, an ice cream party is a lovely idea for springtime. Set up your very own ice cream bar with lots of flavors, toppings, sprinkles, and sauces, and invite people over to make their own ice cream sundaes. Invite everyone along with this ice cream sundae invite.
18. Spring Photo Walk
Head out into the beautiful weather and ask your loved ones to join you for a spring themed photo walk. Grab a camera or simply exist in the moment, and enjoy looking at all the seasonal flowers as you pass them by. Stop off for a coffee (or a cocktail!) somewhere along the way.
19. Flower Themed Party
Florals are a classic spring theme, and they work well for any type of occasion. You could host a daisy themed floral baby shower, or fill the room with tulips for a beautiful Mother’s Day brunch. Floral garlands, flower themed invitations, and fresh or faux blooms all help bring this theme to life.
20. Decorate-a-Duck Party
For a unique spring party idea, how about decorating a duck? Buy a decorative duck for every guest and invite them to use your stash of craft supplies and pens to DIY their own spring themed duck. Keep things cute and little kid-friendly with rubber ducks, or choose a ceramic version that you can paint and glaze to use as spring decor.
21. Easter Egg Hunt
Design: Mint Parcel
Easter egg hunts are filled with fun, and they’re one of the best spring theme events for families for that reason. Play host to your very own egg hunt this year, and invite friends and neighbors to explore your yard in search of golden eggs or chocolate treats. Let everyone know about the event with this adorable Easter egg hunt invite.
22. Carnival Party
With the weather warming up and the days feeling longer, there’s nothing quite like a day (or evening) at the carnival. While you can’t always make it there, you can bring the feel of the carnival to you by setting up games and food stands and enjoying time together until the sun sets.
23. Bird Themed Party
If butterflies aren’t your thing, another sweet animal themed event is birds! It’s the time of year when we’re most likely to notice their birdsong and presence in our backyards, and they also make a wonderful spring theme for a bird lover’s birthday or a joyful baby shower.
24. Flower Wreath Party
One way to bring the seasonal floral trend into your party calendar is with a flower wreath making party. Invite your closest friends over for a day of turning fresh or faux blooms into a beautiful wreath to feature as decor.
25. Spring Themed Brunch
Design: Solmade Studio
Something about brunch always feels special, and you can make your next get-together feel even more impressive by adding a spring theme.
