How To Host The Perfect Lemon-Themed Party

When life gives you lemons…throw a party! Fresh, playful, and effortlessly chic, a lemon-themed party is perfect for garden get-togethers, summer picnics, and everything in between. From finding the best decorations to curating a zesty menu, we’re sharing our top tips for hosting the perfect lemon party. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, bridal shower, or just embracing sunny days with friends, here’s how to throw the ultimate lemon-inspired event! 

Start by setting the scene with vibrant decorations and citrus-themed accents. We suggest following a bright yellow and white color scheme, incorporating hints of blue and a pop of pink. The contrasting blue tones are key for this theme, as they ensure the lemon yellow stands out, but doesn’t feel overwhelming. 

From citrus party garlands to hand-painted lemon balloons, there are plenty of fun decoration ideas to try for this theme. For summer parties, we recommend bringing some coastal charm with capri blue table accents and coastal-chic decorations.

The perfect lemon party table calls for vibrant colors and visually stunning details. Our Signature Lemon Zest party supplies feature a brilliant blue, yellow, and pink color scheme, making them ideal for this theme. The chic lemon illustrations instantly elevate the theme, while the fresh hues and scalloped details offer endless versatility. 

Start by layering our Signature Lemon Zest Small Plates over a larger charger plate. From our eye-catching Soleil Yellow Cabana Stripe Plates to our sleek, solid Sky Blue Plates, there are plenty of pairing possibilities. Complete the look with our Lemon Zest Large Napkins and a coordinating cup and cutlery, en voià! 

Feel free to elevate each place setting with a lemon placemat and table accent. To freshen up the ambiance, scatter whole lemons and fresh greenery, such as eucalyptus or lemon leaves, across the table. If you want to add a sensory element, line the center of your table with fresh flowers and citrus-scented candles.

A lemon party wouldn’t be complete without a few zesty treats! Serve homemade lemonade (classic or spiked!), citrus-infused iced tea, and lemon spritzers. Feel free to level it up with a DIY lemonade stand for an extra fun (and Instagram-worthy) element. For dessert, go all out with lemon bars, cupcakes with lemon frosting, or a show-stopping lemon drizzle cake. 

End your party on an even sweeter note by gifting your guests some cute lemon-themed party favors. Whether you hand out quirky lemon surprise balls or dainty lemon trinket bowls, your guests will appreciate the sentiment.

With the right supplies and a squeeze of creativity, your lemon-themed party will be the zest of the season. For more citrus-inspired party supplies, check out the rest of our collection! From our fête to yours, bonne chance! Xx
