Here are top party themes for a Scorpio…
Murder Mystery Dinner Party
Since Scorpios are typically known for their deep, intense, and mysterious nature, a murder mystery dinner party is the perfect way to play into a few of these classic zodiac attributes. These signs commonly enjoy delving into the unknown, solving riddles, and uncovering secrets, which is exactly what a murder mystery party entails.
Take inspiration from your favorite TV shows for this one. Maybe you use details from a season of White Lotus or Only Murders in the Building. Use characters’ names, their backstories, and even plots from the shows to carry over into the interactive game.
For this Scorpio party idea, consider getting a fancy meal catered by a professional catering team and maybe some live music to elevate the ambience. This creative touch will help set the tone and let you enjoy the game to its entirety. If you really want to take things to the next level, book a murder mystery entertainer group to bring in top performers that will make everyone feel like they are in a real whodunnit show.
Galaxy Party
What’s more mysterious than the great unknown of outer space? The galaxy is filled with unknowns, unexplored territories, and hidden wonders, making it a perfect theme for the curious and investigative Scorpio. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy stargazing?
Prepare for takeoff during this galaxy themed party with a blue and purple color scheme. Incorporate these intergalactic shades into everything from lights, table settings, even the cake. Don’t forget plenty of star and planet decorations to hang from the ceilings, on the walls, or even in your outfit.
To bring the exciting energy of outer space to your Scorpio inspired party, book a DJ for a guaranteed dance party. Having the proper music is essential to carrying out the galaxy theme, so play space inspired hits like Elton John’s “Rocket Man” or Dua Lipa’s “Levitating.”
Mermaid
Scorpios are water signs, so incorporate the intrigue of mermaids and the ocean for this party theme. You can obviously take The Little Mermaid route, or if you want to plan a unique mermaid themed party, you could opt for a Pirates of the Caribbean styled celebration.
For this Scorpio party idea, you’ll want to take inspiration from the sea. Set up a buried treasure display with overflowing jewels and prizes. Transport guests under the sea by securing blue balloons and green streamers to the ceiling that will make it look like you’re walking on the ocean floor. You’ll also want to serve oceanic cocktails like sea shell spritzers, mermaid margaritas, or rum for Captain Jack Sparrow.
What’s a mermaid themed party without an actual mermaid appearance? The Bash has talented costumed characters featuring mermaids, pirates, Jack Sparrow impersonators, you name it. These event professionals will set the tone, mingle with guests, and make your party even more authentic.
Practical Magic
Scorpio season starts just in time for Halloween, so if you're a late-October baby, you’ll love this witchy Practical Magic themed party. This ‘90s movie involves love, overcoming a curse, and of course plenty of magic. Get your broomsticks and spells ready because you’re going to want to plan a Practical Magic inspired birthday party soon.
For this magical and mysterious party, midnight margaritas are absolutely necessary. Don’t forget to serve up some cactus shaped pancakes with a selection of herbal teas to bring this movie magic to life. You’ll also want to decorate your space with red roses, candles, and maybe even a floating witch hat display.
This Scorpio party theme is all about magic, so entertainment is crucial to pull it off. Browse The Bash to find local magicians, fortune tellers, and tarot card readers that will shock guests with their powers and abilities while fitting the witchy theme perfectly.
Practical Magic Theme Party Guide
James Bond
A James Bond themed party is all about intrigue, allure, and intensity, all of which can be enticing for someone born under the Scorpio zodiac sign. This adventurous party aesthetic involves passion, mystery, and intrigue, plus who wouldn’t want to sip on a martini—shaken, not stirred?
To channel the iconic character for this Scorpio party idea, it’s all in the outfits, party activities, and the food. Invite guests to dress in their best sleek and chic attire—tuxedos and long gowns are highly encouraged. Play a few rounds of poker and never play your hand; play the opponent across from you. Keep the dinner options sophisticated and classy by featuring steak, roast beef, or even crab if you’re feeling fancy.
To really seal the deal, go all out with the entertainment. You can book a live band to perform a Bond-inspired playlist, a cigar roller to provide the highest quality cigars for guests, and of course a bartender to keep the drinks flowing.
Arabian Nights
Captivate guests at your birthday party with the magic of the Middle East. Dive into the world of Aladdin with plush draping, magic carpets, and genies in a bottle for this mysterious and luxurious party theme. Save yourself the first-class flights on Emirates Airlines and celebrate with an Arabian nights theme party!
To capture the enchantment and set the scene, you can serve middle eastern classics including shawarma, hummus, and plenty of fruity cocktails. Immerse guests in the culture during this celebration by decorating in rich jewel tones, plush pillows, and even burning some incense.
We’re the event entertainment experts, so of course we have Arabian nights themed vendors that will take this Scorpio birthday party to the next level! Book a belly dancer group that will entertain guests and even teach you some moves for an extra memorable touch. You can also book a fortune teller or henna artist to really dive into the culture even more.
