18 Creative February Party Themes

February is best known for Valentine’s Day, but there are many more reasons to celebrate during this month! From unique holidays celebrating yoga to the birthdays of celebrities, February party themes can be really creative. Let Peerspace introduce you to a few of our favorites for an awesome winter bash!

1. Bring everyone’s furry friends over for a pet party

February 20th is Love Your Pet Day! Not that we need a special day to love them – but you can certainly take the time to love them a little bit extra with this February party theme. Have your dog park friends come over with their pups for homemade dog-friendly cake and treats. Or you could take the dogs to a dog park bar where the pups get to romp while their owners enjoy some beer together. If your dog’s birthday happens to be in February then celebrate with a few of our favorite dog birthday themes and party ideas!

2. Dress to impress with a red color party

Color parties are so much fun because you can incorporate the theme into any event, be it a baby shower, wedding, birthday, or simple gathering with friends. February 1st is Wear Red Day, so right there you have an easy February party theme!

You’ll need lots of red decor along with red party food ideas to bring this theme to life. Try booking a red venue through Peerspace; we have party venues like this luxury red room in Los Angeles, CA, ready to go for Wear Red Day!

3. Celebrate Chinese New Year according to the lunar calendar

Chinese New Year is a two-week period of festivities that happens each year between January 21st and February 21st. Since part of the holiday always happens in February it’s a fantastic February party theme to explore! Enjoy moon cakes and other Chinese delicacies with friends while you give out red paper wrapped gifts and light fireworks together.

4. Get cultured with a Charles Dickens party

Did you know that February 7th is Charles Dickens’ birthday? Why not celebrate his birthday with a few of your literary friends? You can host a very Dickens Dinner, with mincemeat pie, Wassail punch, and other old English favorites. You might want to bring a few of his best novels to life by encouraging guests to dress up as characters like Madame Defarge or Oliver Twist.

5. Celebrate a celebrity born In February

Birthdays in February include a lot of notable names you could use as a February party theme. Abraham Lincoln, Rihanna, Michael Jordan, Drew Barrymore, and John Travolta were all born in February. You can make the party solely about one figure – or invite everyone to dress up as whichever celebrity they want!

Take this suggestion to the next level using our chic Hollywood theme party ideas!

6. Offer an amazing dessert experience with a chocolate fondue party

You don’t have to wait until Valentine’s Day to enjoy some chocolate with your friends and family. February 1st is Chocolate Fondue Day, after all! So set out a few pots of warm chocolate paired with cheese, bread, pretzels, and other dippable delights. A fondue party can even be partially potluck if you ask people to bring their favorite dipping treats!

7. Get artsy with a candy-decorating party

Maybe you’re here to recognize National Candy Day (February 1st) or you want to make some extra-special sweets for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day. No matter the reason, a candy-decorating party is a really fun February party theme that has a DIY crafting element to it! You can give everyone ingredients for making gingerbread houses, add frosting touches to cookies, or make beautifully swirled chocolate bark as Galentine’s Day gifts!

8. Cross the pond with a Parisian party

International Crepe Day is February 2nd but let’s not limit ourselves to a single kind of French food. Let crepes be the doorway to a Parisian-themed event where guests dress in their best French fashions and enjoy French wine, music, and food together! A Parisian party is best held in a venue that matches the theme. Peerspace has everything from party lofts to authentic Parisian mansions in the countryside of New York State where you can bring this theme to life!

9. Host a random acts of kindness party

Now here’s a February party theme you’ve probably never heard of! February 17th is Random Acts of Kindness Day. We all try to do our part to bring a little more good into the world, so how about making a day out of it with friends and family? You could volunteer for a few hours helping to plant trees or feed the homeless before enjoying some quality time together!

10. Balance your chakras with a yoga party

How into yoga are you and your friends? If the answer is “very” then bring everyone together for a yoga party on World Yoga Day (February 22nd). You can hire a professional yoga instructor to lead the group in an exciting new technique.

Enjoy wellness smoothies with a vegetarian buffet and work on your favorite asanas in a yoga venue offered by Peerspace. We have venues like this two-story barn in Matthews, NC, where you can enjoy a yoga party in a studio space with a full kitchen and other amenities close at hand!

11. Go intergalactic with an alien party

International parties are so overdone…Time to cross all borders and visit another solar system entirely on Extraterrestrial Culture Day, February 12th! You could dress up as famous aliens like E.T. or Predator for the day. Hang up some planetary-themed garlands and enjoy some unique alien party food ideas together.

12. Get creative with a leap-year party

Leap years happen once every four years. But have you ever made the most of February 29th with a leap year party? Peerspace has quite a few leap-year party ideas to get you off the couch and plan an amazing get-together with friends and family!

13. Appease your inner child with an ice cream for breakfast

We all counted the years down as kids until we became adults and could have ice cream for breakfast…Right? Well, we certainly did! So now that adulthood is here, it’s time to celebrate with ice cream for breakfast. The first Saturday of every February is International Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. Add some cereal topping to really make it a breakfast event and see what kind of ice cream dishes your friends come up with! 

Our ice cream party ideas are the sweetest accompaniment to this suggestion. Check them out!

14. Bring your best dish to a homemade soup party

Is there any dish homier than a bowl of homemade soup? Since February 4th is Homemade Soup Day, we think you should invite everyone over for a potluck-style dinner party! Everyone has to bring their best soup dish, be it chili, chowder, or curry. Maybe even invite a few judges to choose the best soup for a prize?

15. Share the wealth at a money party

Laugh and Get Rich Day is February 8th. What a fun idea for a February party theme! You can do all kinds of things with paper money, including using it as decorations. A bit of real money would also go a long way, such as filling a pinata with it. Chocolate gold coins are a must-have as party snacks as well.

16. Break out the khakis with a Steve Irwin party

We all miss the Crocodile Hunter, one of Australia’s national icons. So honor Steve Irwin’s birthday (February 22nd) with some khakis, a safari-themed venue, and some animal decorations! Maybe put on a few episodes of The Crocodile Hunter while you’re at it to learn about the wonders of nature for the day!

17. Host a winter dinner party

February means cold nights and short days unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere. A dinner party is one of the best ways to beat the winter blues! Put on some music, serve hot cocoa, and plan a winter dinner party menu that includes traditional seasonal favorites like butternut squash soup and country ham.

18. Get educated during International Women and Girls in Science Day

Did you know that the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is February 11th? Share some educational facts with your friends by having everyone dress up and bring knowledge about their favorite female scientist! You can even include trivia about their accomplishments while you enjoy science party food ideas!
