Petal Theme Party Ideas

A petal theme party is a great party theme to choose for the spring or summer season. A great idea is to choose a color, such as orange or pink, and centralize your theme around it by decorating with petals and other items of that color. These theme party ideas are also fantastic for a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party, Mother’s Day, or Valentine’s Day! We’ve put a list of some fantastic ideas that we think will help you get started on planning your petal theme party!

Petal Theme Party Decorations

1. Beautiful Flowers

2. Flower Garland

Try decorating the party with flower garlands for a beautiful way to incorporate flowers and petals everywhere. They can be hung around the walls, on an arch, and around doorways, or they can be used to decorate chairs, and tables, or try wrapping them around serving plates or bowls.

3. Decorative Flower Petals

It wouldn't be a petal theme party without some decorative flower petals. There are so many ways to incorporate flower petals into your decorations. If the party is outside on a grassy lawn, tactfully spread the flower petals to create a petal walkway, or scatter them across the pavement. If it's inside, be careful not to spread them everywhere because you don't want your guests to slip. Try decorating around the table, or clustering them around another decorative object.

4. LED Rose Petal Lamp

If you need some extra lighting at your party, or you just want some extra decoration that looks really cool, get some flower bouquets lights or rose petal lamps.

5. Sweet Aromatic Candles

Set the mood by lighting floral-scented candles. These will create a tranquil ambiance and swirl some sweet smells around the room. Be sure to pick scents that are related to flowers such as lavender, lilac, and rose. These scents are sure to make your guests blossom with excitement! You can also find cute flower candle holders that you can put simple white candles in the middle of.

6. Flowery Tissue Paper

Tissue paper can be used to make pretty flowers. You can find DIY tutorials to make your own or get some pre-made tissue paper flowers that you can hang from the ceiling or use as a table centerpiece.

7. Petal Bowls

Use shallow bowls as petal decorations! All you have to do is fill them with water and pour some colorful petals in so that they float above the surface. For your blossom supplies, you can either use real petals or purchase some that are made out of plastic or fabric.

8. Petal Theme Floral Backdrop

Everyones going to want to commemorate your awesome party, so set up an area to take pictures with a nice floral backdrop.

9. Flowery Photo Props

Find some props that your guests will have a blast using in their photos. Whether it's floral bridal shower photo props or cute flower crowns, let you and your guests have fun dressing up and taking pictures.

10. Custom Floral Yard Sign

If some of your guests have never been to your party location, they might ride right past it. Put a customizable yard sign out front with your name and event so that everyone knows exactly where to find your event. You can get one with flowers designed on it, or use the flower garlands to wrap around the sign.

11. Vintage Petal Cones

Decorate your home by perching the petal cones in hatboxes or fashion-themed cardboard boxes and cylinders. Fill paper cones with petals and add fragrance and whimsy to your home. Making them out of pages from 1950s fashion magazines brings a touch of vintage glamour to your home. Glue the banner to the center of a cone and fill them with petals.

Petal Theme Party Favors

Floral leis make a great flowery gift to send home with your guests. Nothing says festive summer party better. You can also supply your guests with them to wear during the party!

You can also give your guests a preview of these wonderful scents by using similar ones at your party. You can also use the candle prizes for a game!

14. Lollipop Flowers

Try giving out flower lollipops with real edible organic flowers inside. They are absolutely charming and all of your guests will be taken aback. You could also make your own lollipop flowers by threading heart-shaped pieces of cardstock or tissue paper onto lollipop sticks to look like petals. Display them in a flowerpot and have your guests take one as they leave.

15. Fresh Flower Arrangements

While you will most likely decorate the party area with some fresh bouquets, you can also give bouquets to your guests to take home. Add ribbon to each arrangement to keep the flowers together, as well as provide extra décor!

16. Cookies

Make flower-shaped cookies with adorable flower cookie cutters and place a few in cellophane bags for your guests.

17. Indoor Garden

Give your guests the tools they need for their own indoor garden by giving them a small flower pot as well as seeds for indoor flowers.

Serve these masterpieces on a platter for your guests to admire and devour!

You can also make regular sandwiches and stick cute flower picks in them to hold them together for your guests.

Petal Theme Party Games

26. Bridal Shower Bingo

At a bridal shower, have the guests write down what gifts they think the bride will receive on a bridal shower bingo sheet and as you open presents all the guests will get to mark down spots until someone gets a bingo!

It's a fun activity whether it's a birthday party, bridal shower, baby shower, or mother's day party. Everyone can have fun making their own custom flower pot that they can take home with them.

30. Flower Chain

Just like the game hot potato. All the players should stand in a queue. Give one flower corsage to the first player. Let the music start and everybody will start passing that corsage. As the music stops, the player who is holding the corsage is out of the game and the game continues till one player is left.

31. Flower Wordsearch

This will test who knows their flowers and also act as an educational activity. Have guests sit down with some flower word searches and see who can get the most in a short amount of time.

32. Dana likes Daffodils

Set up all of the players in a circle for these activities. Have the first player begin by stating his or her name and a flower that begins with the same letter as their name. The second player does the same but also repeats the first player’s statement.

For instance, the first player could say, “My name is Dana and I like daffodils,” and the second player would say “My name is Christina and I like chrysanthemums and she is Dana who likes daffodils.” Keep going until everyone runs out of ideas! There are lots of flowers out there so give everyone at your party a chance to read about flower names first.
