11 Exciting Vision Board Party Ideas

Making your own vision board is fun on its own, but getting creative alongside your best friends is even better. Plan a successful vision board party for you and your favorite people with these simple yet fun party ideas.

1. Decide on a Vision Board Theme

Before you reveal your vision board party idea to the world, consider whether you want it to have a unique theme or keep it focused on creating an overall vision board. 

Will you invite your best friends and family, or maybe host a creative vision board workshop for local businesses? Is your focus on personal growth, wellness, or fresh habits for the new year? 

Defining your overall theme (and audience) for the event will help you make the best creative decisions later on!

2. Send Out Themed Party Invitations

Design: Bonjour Berry

Once you have your theme in mind, it’s time to start thinking about invitations! We love the idea of sending vision board party invites instead of a more generic theme — it’s a perfect way to introduce your guests to the concept and get them excited about your plans.

At Greenvelope, we have so many incredible digital invitations that you can adapt to match your vision board party idea and theme. Turn any invitation into a bespoke option simply by changing the text. You can also adjust the layout, fonts, and color scheme to suit your personal taste and party style.

If you’re not sure which invite to pick for your vision board party, we adore this charm-inspired party invitation. It’s a fantastic blend of fun, creative, and whimsical. Simply swap the birthday party text for your own vision board party details.

3. Let Your Guests Know What to Expect

Maybe you’re a pro at vision boarding, or maybe this will be a new experience for you, too. Whatever the case, chances are not all your guests will know what vision boards are, how to make one, or what to expect at your gathering. So, include information in your invites to help everyone feel at home.

Create a simple introduction to vision boards that explains what they are and what you’re making at the party. Explain goal setting, how to set intentions, and a step-by-step on what to expect. You can even include a few vision board examples to inspire them.

If you’re using Greenvelope, you can include all this information in your details panel, which guests can access in just a few clicks. This keeps your invite clean and simple, but all those essential details are close by for anyone who needs them.

4. Supply All the Materials

Be an amazing host by providing all the vision board supplies you and your party guests will need. Stock up at a craft store and use items from your own stash if you have one. Invite guests to bring along magazines and materials to share, too!

You’ll need things like poster boards, magazines to cut out for collaging, index cards to write on, stickers, colored markers, glue sticks, and other ephemera that you can use to decorate your vision board.

If you’re planning a digital vision board party, ask your guests to bring their tablets or laptops. Send them a vision board template in advance (you can create this in Canva), then let them know where to find the best images to add to their board.

5. Decorate Your Table with Motivational Quotes

Keep the motivation high by inspiring your guests with plenty of affirmations and motivational quotes. You can either put these up on the walls in picture frames or display them on your table(s) instead, where they double as both decor and functional inspiration.

Alongside these quote images, include a few vision board ideas or examples from previous years so your guests have plenty of inspiration close by. Decorate the rest of your space with fresh flowers and decor that matches your theme.

6. Create a Playlist

Create the perfect vibes for your vision board party with a playlist handpicked to match your chosen mood or theme. 

Put together a dreamy playlist of lo-fi hits for extra concentration and focus, or a mix of your friend group’s favorite songs so you can dance along as you plan your next year.

7. Serve Bite-Sized Snacks and Treats

The focus of your event will be on dreaming up your best future lives, but the current you still needs to eat. 

Serve a mix of savory and sweet snacks that guests can enjoy as they get creative, or ask your loved ones to bring their favorite snacks for a cozy potluck vibe. If you’d prefer to cook or order take-out, schedule this after you’ve finished making your boards so you can all relax.

8. Create a Smoothie Bar

Staying hydrated is super important, and with a smoothie bar, your guests can have fun while they do it. Buy mixes from the store or make your own smoothies, and serve them on a bar cart with glasses, straws, and seeds or extras for your guests to pick from.

9. Serve a Signature Mocktail

To make your event feel even more special, pick a signature mocktail and serve it to your guests. Choose from these popular mocktail recipes or create your own using fruit juice, tonic water, and syrups. 

If it suits the event and your friend group, add a real cocktail to the menu or theme your whole vision board party idea around a night of drinks and dreams! 

10. Take Photos with Your Vision Boards

Your guests will love your vision board workshop, and they’ll obviously take home their own board, but you can also give them lasting memories in the form of photos. Once everyone’s done creating their vision boards, take individual and group photos with your boards. 

This will be a fun activity that you can look back on in the future, or even share on social media if you’re hosting a workshop for local businesses.

11. Throw in Some Party Favors

Surprise your party guests with extra treats as a thank-you for joining you on this exciting day. Put together a thoughtful gift bag based on the theme of your gathering. Some fun ideas on what to include are: a journal, pen set, motivational quote wall art, or stickers.
