Steampunk Party Theme

Share this theme with your friends and family...

Steampunk blends history, science fiction, and fantasy to create a world with an aesthetic inspired by steam-powered machinery from the 19^th century. It incorporates elements of Victorian England and the American Wild West, and often depicts a post-apocolyptic future.

Its play with anachronistic technologies, its wacky designs, and the way it blends the past with the future—often the way people in the 1800s imagined it—makes steampunk a unique theme that’s full of potential and lots of fun.

Take a look at these ideas for creating a steampunk party theme that will wow your guests and keep them talking about your party for a long time!

Invitations

It's never too early to get people in the mood for your party theme! Start by sending themed invitations with ample advance notice for your guests to save the date. Remember to let them know when and how to RSVP, and whether they should wear costumes or help bring the theme to life in some other way.

Balloons

Balloons can do it all! Mark your party location, use them for centerpieces, or just fill your home with festive floating fun! Mylar and/or latex balloons are available for any occasion and theme.
