Sunflowers make for a warm and inviting theme that can be used from bridal showers to birthday parties. To get you started, we’ve put together a list of 13 unique sunflower party ideas that are sure to brighten your day. Need a venue for your party that ties the whole theme together? We’re also planting a few relevant Peerspace listings in the list – as the internet’s largest marketplace for hourly event venue rentals, there are spaces for every occasion. Let’s get started!

1. Plant the seed with themed invites

The best way to start any theme party is by sending out invites that spell it out for your guests. On Etsy, there are many great options like these editable rustic sunflower baby shower invitations from Sparkle Printable. You can include relevant details like the date and time, along with other things like informing guests if you’d like them to stick to a dress code. Best part about these is they can be sent as a digital file, saving you the time and money of printing and mailing them.

2. Line the entrance to your party with garlands

One of those really simple and effective sunflower party ideas is lining the entrance of your party with a sunflower garland. You can find examples online like this four-pack of artificial sunflower garland from Amazon. There are a few pictures that show how this can easily be set up around a doorway or as an archway.

3. Rent a sunflower-themed space
