Dinner Party
If there’s one thing about Capricorns, it’s that they like to keep things simple and sophisticated. So, why not host a dinner party to celebrate another year? If you think dinner parties are overdone, you’ve come to the right place for creative ideas.
Choose an overall theme for the evening like a murder mystery dinner, or decide on a type of cuisine to incorporate into the decorations and food, like Italian, Mexican, or any other country. For example, take guests to the gorgeous coast of Greece by decorating the dinner party space with vibrant florals, Greek flags, serving Greek dishes like hummus and gyros, and booking a Greek band to set the tone.
To make this birthday dinner party different from the rest, you’ll want to book vendors and entertainers to make the celebration extra memorable. Consider booking a catering team to whip up all kinds of delicious treats, a bartender to create custom cocktails for each guest, and complete the festivities with live music like a harpist, acoustic guitarist, or even a cover band.
Gatsby
It’s time to channel your inner Jay Gatsby because no one knows how to throw a party like him! Nothing beats the aesthetic of the roaring twenties; between the flapper styles and jazzy music, a Great Gatsby inspired celebration makes a great party idea for a Capricorn.
You’ve probably been to a Gatsby party before, so now’s the time to level up this theme to make it uniquely your own. Use a classic black and gold color scheme, organize an elegant champagne tower, but the key in pulling off this party theme is with timely entertainment. Browse saxophonists, jazz bands, and even swing dancers on The Bash to truly bring the party to life.
