An outdoor party, punctuated by an exciting fireworks show, can be a wonderful way to bring people together. Yet it can be tough to think of themes for a party that doesn’t fall on a traditional fireworks holiday such as the Fourth of July. Here are just 4 fun themes to get your imagination started.

Prohibition

Speakeasies, gangsters, and flappers make the prohibition era a natural choice for an exciting evening. Use muted red lighting, a wooden bar, and classic cocktails to turn your outdoor party into a prohibition event your guests will never forget. For extra fun, have everyone wear pinstriped suits or flapper dresses, take on mob-sounding nicknames, and institute a secret password. Choreograph your fireworks show to some of the hit songs of the 1920s.

Dessert Party

Dessert parties have become all the rage, yet too much rich, decadent food can leave guests feeling queasy. The key to a successful dessert party is to balance the choices. Pair heavy cakes with light, fruity pastries. Cut the richness of chocolate with floral notes. Prepare everything in bite-sized pieces for sampling, rather than serving whole slices.

A dessert party can be elegant and subdued, or a high-energy dance night. Whichever you choose, match the mood of your fireworks show to the overall ambience of the evening.

Hoedown

If you have acreage in a rural area, a good old-fashioned hoedown can be just the thing to pep up your next outdoor party. Hay bales, tractors, trucks, and pitchforks set the stage. Use long tables with benches, and light the area with torches or lanterns. BBQ is the food of choice for most hoedowns, giving you the chance to show off your skills with the grill. Ask guests to dress casually,
