Gather the Guests

Sure, a perfect tablescape or a balloon arch makes for great photos — but a truly great Pride party is all about the people. Kick things off with a digital invitation that sets the vibe from the start.

Our theme inspiration? An “over-the-top classic rainbow day party.” But you can make it your own. Browse our collection of online invites in every style imaginable — use the search bar to find specific ideas like “karaoke,” “pool party,” or “brunch.” Don’t forget: the wording is customizable to fit your celebration.

Plan Group Activities

A standout Pride party strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and unforgettable. Give guests something to talk about with fun, inclusive group activities. Hosting outdoors? Think hula-hooping contests, water balloon fights, or a slip ‘n slide moment.

If you have access to a pool, colorful floaties are a must. Want to go big? Hire a DJ or surprise guests with a drag performance. Whether your space is a backyard or a venue, you can create a Pride party full of joy, laughter, and community.

Decorate the Space

Whether you’re celebrating at home, a friend’s place, or a favorite local spot, a few colorful touches go a long way in setting the mood. For a rainbow-themed Pride party, go big with balloons, garlands, vibrant streamers, and cheerful party plates.

Want to invest in décor you’ll use all year? Look for statement pieces like rainbow planters, bold glassware, or playful mugs that double as functional keepsakes. And don’t be afraid to mix and match — rainbow themes thrive on joyful eclecticism. Already have a collection of colorful dishes or glasses? You’re already halfway there.

Serve Up Food & Drinks

A great Pride party doesn’t need an overly complicated menu — just a little planning and a lot of variety. Consider the time of day: will guests expect a full meal, or will snacks and drinks do the trick?

You can opt for a potluck, order catering from a favorite LGBTQ+–owned restaurant, or whip up your own rainbow-themed menu. Think colorful cocktails, fruit-infused sparkling waters, rainbow-sprinkled cupcakes, or a charcuterie board arranged in Pride flag colors. Delicious and Instagram-ready.

Dress the Part

When it comes to Pride, there’s no such thing as too much flair. From enamel pins and statement earrings to custom tees, hats, purses, and bandanas, there’s a world of LGBTQ+–owned brands ready to help you show your colors.

Whether you’re dressing head-to-toe in rainbow or just adding a touch of sparkle, celebrating creativity through your outfit is always in style.

Celebrate Pride Your Way

Whether you’re parading, protesting, or partying with friends, Pride Month is about honoring progress, standing together, and celebrating identity in all its forms. So however you choose to mark the occasion — know that joy is powerful, and community is everything. Today? It’s all about a killer playlist and an even better outfit. Pride party on, Wayne.
