Choosing Your Event Theme

Everyone wants to theme their event.  I suggest caution when choosing a theme.  Talk to your decorator before coming to a conclusion on what you'd like to promote.  For conventions, the theme chosen by the Board of Directors, will influence color choices, the brochure and program design, as well as any decor for dinners, seminars, & signage.  Choosing an oriental theme, when the program is "It's a Small World", or when the colors must stay with the organization's Pantone color match of Blue may really stretch the decorator and you may find out that although the decor may have been great, it did nothing to promote the whole agenda.  For Birthday parties, themes are usually fun and use color and texture to enhance the ambiance.  Using favorite colors, favorite sports, movies, etc. are all fun ways to bring in themes. 

Weddings are usually more conservative.  Colors more trendy.  Themes are not always a part of the wedding decor, although I've done a few western themed and Ethnic weddings.  My advice is to talk to a decorator during the process, get ideas, share yours, and your event will be everything it is meant to be, from start to finish.
