19 Fun March Party Themes

March is one of the most festive months of the year! Besides St. Patrick’s Day and the Spring Equinox, there are all kinds of unique holidays and themes to use for a birthday, cocktail party, baby shower, or other special event. We at Peerspace love party planning, so let us share 19 fun March party themes for any occasion.

1. Recognize National Bubble Week with a bubble party

Did you know that the second week of March is National Bubble Week? What a great chance to get folks together for a bubble-themed event! From fizzy drinks to clear, rainbow-hued balloons, a bubble party is a magical affair, especially for young children. You can even hire a clown to make balloon animals and have a bubble tent filled with colored balls for kids to play in.

2. Plant some blossoms at a gardening party

March means warmer weather in many parts of the country. It’s the perfect chance to welcome spring with a gardening party! A gardening party is more than a garden party – you’ll still want an outdoor venue, but the entire theme is gardening. Bring some sprouts, seeds, or shoots and get them started in the dirt. If it’s still a little chilly in your area, you could host your gardening party in a greenhouse instead, like this boho hidden forest greenhouse venue in Richmond, VA!

3. Wear awesome hats on National Wear A Hat Day

March 21st happens to be National Wear A Hat Day…Do you have an amazing hat that you rarely have an excuse to wear? And if you don’t have one, why not? National Wear A Hat Day is the perfect chance to buy or make one for a unique March party theme where everyone comes dressed in their best (or worst) headgear!

4. Turn trash into treasure On Old Stuff Day

How much stuff do you have lying around that could be re-homed or made into something better? Instead of making house cleaning a chore you could make digging through it all fun with some friends on Old Stuff Day (March 2nd). Box up old clothes together, take them to a Goodwill, make DIY crafts out of old bottles, and have a party in your newly spacious place!

5. Be whimsical at a Dr. Seuss Party

Dr. Seuss’s books have entertained generations of children. Since Dr. Seuss Day is March 2nd, you could make any of his books the theme of a March party, or a March birthday for a kid who loves his books. Even adults feeling nostalgic can embrace this March party theme!
