Themed events have become all the rage in recent years. With TikTok and other social media platforms exploding, you’re seeing more and more people come up with creative ideas centered around events. The same can be said for vacationing. This piece will look at four ways to plan the perfect themed vacation. These tips can help in elevating an already great vacation into an even better one with some simple planning.
Pick The Location
Here’s where much of the pre-planning will be determined. Once your vacation group is assembled, the first step is figuring out where the vacation will actually be taking place. Will it be somewhere tropical on the beach? Or, perhaps in the snowy mountains? Maybe a desert escape — or more of a cosmopolitan trip in the big city? Once the location is agreed upon, it makes planning for the theme far easier — because in essence, this will determine the theme.
Find Accompanying Activities
You’ll want to pair activities in correspondence with the location. For example, if you’re enjoying a beach vacation, one potential adventure could include renting a boat — or even taking some sort of boat cruise. In more mountainous areas, a hike featuring majestic views would be prudent. Being in a major city offers all sorts of ideas and potential directions. The point person in organizing this vacation likely will lay the groundwork ahead of time in terms of selecting what the group collectively wants to do.
Decorating
This tip is fun and self-explanatory. For a big group on vacation, normally a house will be rented. Based on what theme you’re using, it’s very easy to decorate accordingly. This elevates the feel of the trip, and also bonds everyone together further as they blow up balloons, tape streamers to the walls, and organize an assortment of themed goodies. You want to walk into an inviting space, and adding a bit of flair to the trip will put everyone in a better mood.
A Massive Dinner
There’s nothing like a big dinner to get everyone in the party mood. Breaking bread with loved ones is a cherished activity. Doing so at a themed dinner is even better. This can tie into the decorations tip, where a Luau-themed dinner features paper pineapples, colorful place settings, and little touches to further make the experience unique. You can also hire a private chef to specifically create a menu in sync with the desired theme of your vacation.
