12 Fun Purple Themed Party Ideas

4. Don’t forget purple party invitations

Choose purple party invitations and be sure to specify on your invites that this is a purple-themed party, so guests know exactly what to expect! If you’re going for an extra glam feel at your gathering, we’d recommend these sparkly royal purple glitter and brushed foil invitations from Zazzle.

Also, make sure to send out your invites (whatever color they might be!) as soon as possible so that as many invitees as possible are able to make it.

5. Make the dress code all purple

If you want to get extra silly executing this party theme, you could let your guests know on your party invitations that the party’s dress code will be all purple.

Of course, you’ll also have to adhere to the same dress code, so make sure you have a suitable all-purple outfit before you decide to put this idea into practice.

6. Serve purple party foods

Easy Party Ideas and Games has a ton of suggestions for a purple party, including a list of purple party foods that’ll embody your party’s theme: fruits like plums, grapes, and blueberries as well as “purple cake with purple sprinkles, icing, and all”. These are the tastiest purple-themed party ideas!

7. Plan a purple scavenger hunt

Another fabulous idea from Easy Party Ideas and Games, this time for an activity that kids will love: having a scavenger hunt for only purple items. Figure out what you have that’s purple, and then base the scavenger hunt on that list. Feel free to print out this set of Purple Scavenger Hunt instructions to pass out to young guests (or their parents, who can read it to them).

8. Hang purple lanterns

Purple lanterns like these ones (a set of 5 for less than $10) will cast a purple glow over your entire party, bathing everything in pleasant and relaxing purple light. This is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to dramatically alter the atmosphere of your party so that it suits the purple theme you’re going for.

9. Choose purple flowers

Planning on decorating with bouquets of flowers and floral arrangements? If so, your best bet would be to use only (or primarily) purple flowers. These include lavender, wisteria, lilacs, purple roses, irises, pansies, and many more.

Choose the ones that you find the prettiest, and don’t be afraid to ask your local florist for advice on what combination would make the nicest purple bouquet.
