The new year is rapidly approaching. It’s time to consider what party supplies you’ll stock for 2025 based on party trends. While no one can be certain what will trend in 2025, we can see some signs of what is popular. Here’s a look at popular party trends and what you should stock for the upcoming year to be the ultimate destination for party supplies in your area.

Party Trends for 2025

Experts have evaluated what’s popular and have found these party trends for 2025. Review these popular party host styles to understand what your customers are looking for in your party supply offering.

1. Incredible Table Settings

While minimalism is supreme in décor, party hosts want their guest tables to wow their attendees. Bold color block designs are on trend. Party planners say hosts want to provide an upscale, high-touch experience for their guests.

Think about the service and style you’ll see at a Michelin-star restaurant. That’s what party hosts want to offer. Bold chargers and classy dinner plates are all the rage. Pair that with luxurious linens and stylish tableware to create incredible dining experiences.

Add seasonal touches to those place settings, such as a wreath during the holidays or fresh flowers in the spring, and watch as your event takes shape.

2. Printed Linens

Party hosts who want an unforgettable setting opt for printed linens. Let go of the single-color tablecloths and napkins and allow more room for creativity with stunning prints that bring the party to life. Emphasize the party host’s style and preference with fun patterns that create a festive atmosphere.

3. Bold Lighting

The best way to set the mood at a party is with lighting. You can build a warm, inviting atmosphere with lighting and décor. Illuminating important areas of the party, such as the bar, can help make the party welcoming. 

For a more affordable option and way to bring this trend into the everyday party, consider getting LED lamps that add a soft glow to the party venue. You can even use candles to help set the tone in a simpler manner, which people have been doing for years. 

4. A Stylish Bar

Trendy barware can make a party look hip and modern. Craft cocktails are all the rage and one of this year’s must-have items for creating the perfect atmosphere. Think tinted glasses or unique flutes for special occasions. Get a glassware collection that matches your clientele and stock it to resonate with your customers.

5. Bar Carts

When party hosts have a smaller space to organize their events in, a portable bar cart might be more practical than a bar table. Offer a simple bar cart alongside your party supplies to offer practical solutions to smaller event venues.

Party Themes for 2025

Understanding the themes that will be popular for 2025 will also be essential to ordering supplies and preparing your store with everything your customers seek. These trending themes will be popular in 2025.

1. Circus

This theme is timeless and offers easy party planning using retro circus tents, games and fun for guests of all ages. Think bold reds alongside white and playful designs featuring animals. 

2. Eco

Earth tones are in. Whether the goal of the party is to bring awareness to environmentally friendly practices or simply to celebrate a special occasion, earth tones will help bring your party to life. 

For kids’ parties, outdoor scavenger hunts, tree planting parties or eco-friendly crafts will be popular alongside the stunning earth-tone colored parties.

3. Underwater

You’ll frequently find underwater themes on trending lists. Perhaps it’s the calm that people feel when they are near water sources. Or maybe it is the vibrant blues and greens that the theme lends itself to.

Whether you’re planning a mermaid birthday party or a summer kickoff, underwater themes remain on the trendy list.

4. Superheroes

Children love the concept of a superhero coming to their rescue and of being the superhero in their own story. Popular films have further skyrocketed this theme into the trending position. 

When preparing for this theme, consider capes, superhero masks and bright red with dark and light blue for color schemes.

5. Forest

Those popular eco-colors also lend themselves nicely to forest themes. This whimsical theme is great for a young girl’s birthday party. Add in some fairy lights and nature walks to create a fun, earth-friendly theme. Children can decorate planters and take home a special party favor that lasts a lifetime.

6. Arcade

Children and adults alike find a retro arcade theme to be fun and inviting. Adults enjoy the nostalgia of their favorite games of their childhood. Bring in pinball machines and old school video games for a fun way to celebrate. It can be a great way for parents to connect with their children too. 

7. Upscale Picnics

There’s nothing quite like eating close to nature. People love picnics for those reasons. But when you’re celebrating, it’s more fun to have an upscale picnic.

This party theme lends itself to bright colors or pretty pastels. It allows you to get close to nature but not too close to where you’ll soil your cutest sun dress. Add a little plush seating to your nature settings and fill picnic baskets with sweet treats for a charming outdoor party.

8. Balloon Art

Elaborate balloon art is in. The larger, more colorful the balloon arch or garland, the trendier it is. You can create whimsical atmospheres by having your guests enter through balloon arches or building the perfect photo backdrop.
