Pick Your Theme



The Death to My 20s theme blends dark elegance with a cheeky edge. Black-and-white palettes, disco balls, and moody lighting set the scene for a celebration that feels both dramatic and unforgettable—whether you’re hosting a dinner party, cocktail night, or all-out bash.


The Dirty Thirtini theme is all about glam, gold, and good times. Inspired by a classic martini with a cheeky twist, this celebration pairs luxe textures, velvet tones, and golden accents for a birthday that’s effortlessly sophisticated and a little bit bold.


The Girls Gone Mild theme is all about cozy charm with a playful twist. Think soft pastels, feather-trimmed pajamas, and matching sets made for lounging in style. It’s perfect for a girls’ night in, pajama brunch, or relaxed birthday celebration that still feels curated and chic.


Forty & Flawless is a celebration of confidence, elegance, and the kind of radiant glow that only comes with a milestone moment. From sparkling décor to golden-hour lighting, every detail creates a flawless night out worth remembering.


The 40th Par-Tee collection blends nostalgic country-club elegance with playful golf-course charm — think warm plaids, tailored silhouettes, polished cocktails, and a hint of old-school clubhouse heritage. Inspired by iconic greens, timeless menswear textures, and preppy details, this theme celebrates “forty years well played” with a look that is refined, relaxed, and effortlessly cool.


Inspired by everything that gets better with time — aged whiskey, deep velvets, rich chocolate, worn-in leather, and candlelit warmth — Aged to Perfection is a celebration of depth and sophistication. Think amber glow, barrel-room charm, velvet textures, decadent bites, and an evening that feels slow, smooth, and luxuriously mature.
