Well, originally this blog was supposed to be five perfect party themes for March, but we had to make it EIGHT — that’s how excited we are about all of these ideas. January… you’ve got all that “new year, new you” whatever stuff. February… Valentine’s… yeah, yeah. But, March… we personally think March is under-appreciated when it comes to party potential. It’s been a weird start to 2025… maybe we pretend March is the new January?
Let’s reset the vibes by coming together and celebrating, well, anything. Need some ideas to get started? Take a look to see eight epic party ideas to make March your month.
1. Lucky charm party 🍀
Sure, St. Patrick’s Day is the obvious first choice. But, this isn’t your average St. Paddy’s Day party. Let’s lean into the luck and charm of the holiday with a DIY charm bracelet party that is guaranteed to delight. Pro tip: everyone loves a good party favor, and everyone loves it even more when they get to pick it out themselves.
How to throw
- Decor + supplies
- Party details
- The setup: After sending an on-theme invitation, gather your supplies. On the day of the party, make sure you have enough tables to serve as workstations, displaying the charms in cute bowls (or even martini glasses!). Want to provide some inspo for your guests? Put together collage moodboards in frames to give them some visual guidance.
- The menu: Lucky Charms rice krispie treats are a MUST to keep your guests fueled while they craft their jewelry. Might we also suggest some Irish Colcannon? Our stomachs are growling already.
2. Spring chicken dinner party 🐥
Phew… Spring is *finally* here. Celebrate the season with this darling dinner party concept. We’re picturing a farmers market-informed menu, mismatched place settings, and a vibrant & bright color palette that sort of gives 🐞💐🌱🪻🪺… ya feel?
How to throw
- Decor + supplies
- Party details
- The menu: Start with a big bowl of a salad dressed with lemon and olive oil (try arugula or your favorite spring mix, spiced up with some edible flowers). Next – we’re thinking a rustic focaccia. Main course is, of course, some sort of chicken (even a rotisserie one from the store laid out on a plate and surrounded by halved lemons), or feel free to make it vegetarian with a creative white bean recipe! Finish off the evening with a sweet treat — berries and whipped cream, apple cake, or a big homey platter of warm and gooey chocolate chip cookies!
- The setup: Opt for handwritten menus at each seat (we love crayon on white paper or pen on brown paper — even try upcycling old paper grocery bags!). Plus, this party really comes together when every seat is a little unique! Source some vintage ceramic plates for cheap at the thrift store, or mix up your glassware to make this feel organically rustic!
3. And the award goes to… 🏆
It’s awards season! Put a spin on an Oscars viewing party by hosting an awards night for your friends. Think the “Powerpoint nights” all the girlies were doing on TikTok… but where you come up with awards for everyone in your friend group. Most likely to throw an awesome party? You.
How to throw
- Decor + supplies
- Reveal your award winners on a projector or TV
- Give everyone a real-life trophy
- Walk down a *very official* red carpet
- Popcorn bags + popcorn
- Party details
- The rundown: Start the night by rolling out the red carpet and having a little photoshoot moment. Let’s be real, we were all thinking it. Ok, now that that’s out of the way… warm everyone up with a specialty cocktail or mocktail to get in the mood! You can even have your favorite pop culture podcast on in the background. Once all your guests have arrived, it’s time for the big moment. Ahead of time, have each person come up with an award for someone in the friend group and add it to a presentation that you manage (so it’s a surprise for everyone else!). Load it up on the screen, then present one by one and give the recipients their trophies of honor!
- The menu: Bags of popcorn, sparkly champagne, and whatever your signature dish is… call it your “award-winning _____”. We’ll go with our award-winning spaghetti & meatballs — but the main dish is totally up to you.
4. Bracket brunch 🏀
March Madness is upon us. Invite your crew over to fill out your brackets while enjoying some bacon and pancakes. Bonus: up the fun by having guests bring something to add to a pot for the eventual winner!
How to throw
- Decor + supplies
- Nerf hoops for a fun game of HORSE
- Printed brackets + pens
- Basketball snack cups
- Basketball lanterns
- Party details
- The rundown: We’re feeling like this is a casual brunch, that’s bound to turn a little competitive. Opt for an unstructured event with a table for bracket-filling and another station for a little Nerf basketball shooting competition so people can mill about as they please (and spend as much time on their bracket deliberation as they need to).
- The menu: Pair the “March Madness Mimosa” with a spread of all your favorite brunch foods. With an orange slice garnish as a nod to a classic orange basketball, this is going to be a total slam dunk.
5. More daylight party ☀️
Well, we don’t love that Spring Forward makes us lose an hour of sleep… but we do love that it’s finally not pitch black when we drive home from work. Pair a sunshine-y invitation (we’d edit the text on this baby shower design to work for this theme) with everything light!
How to throw
- Decor + supplies
- Dehydrated oranges for a drink garnish or a DIY garland
- Yellow ribbon to tie around glasses
- Yellow vases for spring flower arrangements
- Party details
- The vibe: Try citrus-related snacks or bevs (an orange cake, sangria, etc.) and maybe even add a dress code inspired by spring tones!
- A fun spin: Hello, spring refresh. Add another level to the festivities with a “Spring Cleaning” or “Spring Planning” angle. For spring cleaning, add a note on your Invitation that you’ll act as a donation hub so guests can bring clothes from their seasonal closet cleanout, which you’ll deliver to a local donation center (or swap with one another). For spring planning, add some time for vision boarding for this next season (you just need paper, glue, scissors, and some magazines!).
6. Live from the French Quarter 🎶
Mardi Gras is Tuesday, March 4th this year! Turn colorful beads into unique garlands, order some beignets from your favorite bakery, and turn up the music — this theme is destined to delight.
How to throw
- Decor + supplies
- Beads galore (+ a bowl to leave by the door for guests to grab necklaces and wear when they enter)
- Street signs as place settings or wall decor
- Colorful pennants
- Party details
- The playlist: We want to hear jazz, brass bands, and allllll the zydeco. The theme is: lively! So set the tone with some seriously swingin’ sounds.
- The vibe: This party is all about good, old-fashioned fun. Try a bead toss to bring the fun of the parade to your home, decorate paper masks with glitter and feathers, and even throw in some mardi gras trivia to really get you in the spirit.
7. Girl Scout Cookie Tasting 🍪
We loooove Girl Scout Cookie season which means of course we had to have an entire party dedicated to these delicacies. Have each guest bring a box of their favorite flavor, and even level up this concept by encouraging everyone to come up with a fun drink that pairs perfectly with their cookie of choice! We recommend having The Parent Trap or Troop Beverly Hills playing in the background for a camp vibe and some sweet old nostalgia.
How to throw
- Decor + supplies
- Girl Scout cookies (of course!)
- The Parent Trap
- Troop Beverly Hills
- Wood trays for displaying cookie + drink pairings
- Table lanterns
- Green gingham tablecloth
- Party details
- The menu: Keep it easy — the centerpiece of this party is 👏the cookies. 👏 Channel the outdoors/Girl Scout vibe with a leveled up trail mix (sub in your fav rich chocolate), some grilled cheese bites (aka make a few grilled cheeses and cut ‘em into small triangles) … and there’s something so cozy about a warm mug of apple cider.
- The vibe: This theme makes for an amazing adult sleepover. Try nostalgic activities like friendship bracelet making or get stickers and some tumblers to decorate — you’re definitely getting your “Pro Host” badge for this!
8. Spill the Tea party 🫖
The start of spring is the perfect time to throw a tea party! Been busy and haven’t seen your girls in a while? Invite the crew over to catch up (a.k.a spill the tea) and enjoy sweet sips + delicious little snacks or cookies.
How to throw
- Decor + supplies
- Party details
- The menu: Shortbread cookies. White bread sandwiches slathered with cream cheese and thinly sliced cucumber. And, of course, endless varieties of tea!
- We recommend: This theme lends well to a small gathering with close friends — you can totally size it up as a big party theme, but it’s a great casual concept just to get your people all in one place. Make that time together feel extra special and memorable by giving each guest a tin full of tea bags to take home. Tie it up with a ribbon, and you’ve delivered a little stress relief that’s easy to assemble and doesn’t break the bank!
Wow… March might be in the running for the greatest party month ever after this. Choose your favorite theme and connect with your people. Happy hosting!

- Real-time updates: Get instant notifications whenever someone signs up or makes a change, so you always know where things stand.
Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
What is a SignUp Sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a SignUp Sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a SignUp Sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a SignUp Sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
- No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
- The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
- Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
- An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
- Clean, modern designs with no pop-up ads.
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
