Party planning is one of the most important aspects of any great event or gathering. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a black-tie affair, or an outdoor celebration – throwing an unforgettable event starts with thoughtful preparation and consideration towards modern trends.

In this article, we will be exploring five party planning trends that are expected to define what celebrations look like in 2023. Find out which new themes are popular right now, so that you can give your guests an unbeatable experience!

• Vegan menus

Veganism is becoming increasingly popular, and this trend is set to continue in 2023. More and more people are choosing to follow a plant-based diet, so it’s important to consider vegan options when planning your party menu – and with so many professional party caterers now specialising in vegan dishes, it has never been easier. 

Whether you opt for an entirely vegan menu or just include some vegan dishes alongside other options, it is sure to be appreciated by your guests.

• Eco-friendly decorations

Eco-friendly decorations are becoming ever-more sought-after as people become more conscious of their environmental impact. Sustainable materials such as bamboo, cork and recycled paper are being used to create beautiful decorations that help to reduce a party’s carbon footprint. From tableware to centrepieces, there are plenty of eco-friendly options available for any type of party.

• Cocktail walls for photo ops

Cocktail walls can be a great way to add some fun and flair to your party. They’re perfect for photo ops, and can be customised with different colours, shapes, and sizes. You can even add personalised touches such as your own logo or message, to further make your event stand out.

• Virtual reality experiences

Virtual reality is becoming more of a ‘buzzword’ in the 2020s, and it can be a great way to add some extra excitement to your party. From virtual escape rooms to virtual tours of exotic locations, there are plenty of options available that will help you create an unforgettable experience for your guests.

• Interactive food stations

Interactive food stations can be an excellent solution for keeping your guests entertained and engaged. From build-your-own tacos to make-your-own pizzas, there are plenty of party caterers available that will help you create a unique and memorable experience for your guests.
