Say “oui” to an unforgettable birthday with a romantic Paris-themed birthday party. No matter what your budget may be, the City of Lights makes an excellent theme—Paris is full of so many iconic landmarks and traits that it’s easy to get creative and capture beautiful Paris for your birthday.
Dreamy Décor
The quest for a perfectly pretty Parisian party begins with décor. Obvious must-have elements to incorporate in a Paris birthday party theme include the ever-iconic Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and plenty of twinkling lights.
An easy place to start with décor is with an ultra chic, Parisian color palate. Classic black and white is simple and sophisticated, and can easily be incorporated into the décor with elements like table clothes and tableware. Add a bit of pale pink to the mix for a touch of whimsy and an extra girly—yet still chic—element to fit the Parisian party theme.
Look for bold ways to bring the Eiffel Tower into décor; placing Eiffel Tower statuettes on tables as centerpieces is a no-brainer touch that guests will appreciate. Looking for a bit more of that je ne sais quoi? Try outfitting your party area with inexpensive strings of clear or white lights to add that element of sparkle emblematic of the city’s reputation.
French and Friendly Food
No Paris-themed birthday party is complete without some seriously fun food. Get creative with an assortment of delicate finger foods—h’orderves in minute forms like mini baguettes with cheese, croissants, and crudités are absolutely on theme.
For dessert, you can either go all-out with an elaborate Eiffel Tower cake, or you can go with a bit of French subtlety with a tower of delicious little macaroons. You can even make the macaroons in colors to coordinate with your Paris color scheme. Tres bien!
Leave a Lasting Impression of Paris
When the sun rises and it’s time for your guests to depart your own little version of Paris, be sure to leave them with an on-theme favor to remember the party by. A tiny bakery box of those birthday macaroons will make a much-appreciated treat for guests to take home, and is a lovely way to further incorporate your party’s theme and colors. Or, for a more permanent reminder of your special day, consider laying out tiny Eiffel Tower key tags as favors, so guests can carry a little piece of beautiful Paris with them wherever they go.
Oh la la! What a party!
