Planning a wedding, anniversary, party with a theme

            
            Just like having a specific color scheme. Choosing

            a theme can make your event feel more cohesive,

            and help you show off your personal style. Whether

            carried out through the entire occasion or just the event,

            themes can be a lot of fun.
