Harry Potter Magic

Throwing a Harry Potter-themed party never gets old. Honestly, turning your place into Hogwarts Central is as easy as pie. Whip up some butterbeer (root beer with a whipped cream head is a shortcut), whip out those pumpkin pasties, and lay out a DIY potions station with fizzy, fizzy drinks and vibrant candies. A game of Quidditch with brooms and tennis balls is always a hit. And if you’ve got the movies playing in the background, your magical night is complete. Love stories with strong female leads? Take a peek at our female protagonist movies.

Star Wars Excitement

For a starry, starry night, a Star Wars bash is the way to go. Deck your space with galaxies far, far away vibes. Host a lighthearted dance-off between Jedi Knights and Sith Lords. Drinks? How about Jedi Juice and Padawan Punch to keep your force strong, and cookies shaped like Yoda’s ears? The night hits with watching the original saga or the newer flicks. Get your inspiration for female-led films from our collection.

Mamma Mia Vibes

Ah, to feel like you’re in Greece without the airfare. A Mamma Mia-themed party invites the Greek isles to your home. Blue and white everything, Greek bites and ABBA on loop. Have your crew don summery, flowy attire while belting out tunes like they’re the ultimate Mamma Mia supergroup. For more of these good times, explore our chick flick list.

Bollywood Extravaganza

Craving some drama and glitz? Plan a Bollywood night! Colors that pop, Indian tidbits, and a playlist that gets everyone moving like Bollywood stars. Films like “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” offer a portal to romance and drama like no other. Don’t miss out on our films about female empowerment for additional viewing.

Marvel Superheroes Fun

Superheroes save the night—just ask Marvel fans. Whether backing team Avengers or rooting for Spider-Man, it’s all about the caped fun. Encourage pals to show up as their favorite Marvel personalities, and create games that are as action-packed as their favorite comics. Themed snacks, like “Hulk Smash Guacamole,” will have everyone chuckling. Binge-watch your Marvel faves with friends for a hero-worthy party. Get more superhuman tales from our movies with strong female leads.

Harry Styles Fanatic Bash

Nothing stops the beat at a Harry Styles-themed party. It’s about the energy of his soulful tunes, “Watermelon Sugar” drinks in hand, and boas waving in the air.
