The Top 10 Party Trends for 2025
Predicting the Biggest Party Trends of 2025, from summer meadow florals to nesting parties
2025 is a very special year for us – our 40th anniversary! This year we are excited to reveal our top 10 party trends for the year ahead. Get ready to celebrate with us!
Magical Meadow Prints
We know florals for spring aren’t revolutionary, but there are fresh and bold incarnations for 2025. Taking inspiration from the catwalk, Schiaparelli transformed florals into high-fashion artistry with garden-inspired prints with intricate detailing. Meanwhile, Giambattista Valli presented giant-sized graphic floral motifs while Richard Quinn’s dark, vivid floral prints accentuated the trad ‘50s hourglass silhouette he presented.
Bold, joyful florals are a trend that carries across interiors and parties for 2025. Note our new Meri Meri x Liberty collaboration collection that showcases eight distinct Liberty prints across tableware, decor and gifts. Elsewhere, our floral collections (don’t miss our new Meadow unicorn) serve every occasion from baby showers and birthdays to picnics. Power to the flower!
Re-style & Reuse
Everyone from Vogue editors to designers are embracing the re-use and upcycle ethos. And that extends to parties, where the most stylish party organisers are choosing tableware and decorations that can be re-used. Cue stylish new reusable tableware in our popular Molly Mahon range which includes trays, placemats and coasters. Designed to be used year after year. See also, our decorative new compostable partyware, inspired by antique ceramics.
“Tea parties are back – and they’re for all ages! Think vintage tablecloths, mix-and-match plates and for a modern twist, chic compostable plates inspired by fine china. Perfect for everything from intimate gatherings to big celebrations.”

Cool for Campers!
There’s a big focus on the great outdoors for 2025 as people are drawn to more authentic, nature-based experiences. Campfires, storytelling and low-tech adventures are big news. Multi-generational camping is popular, with an emphasis on passing down skills like fire-building and fishing.
The trend reflects a desire for meaningful, slower-paced outdoor experiences that balance nature with modern conveniences. Our joyful new camp-inspired collection is designed for little adventurers and features everything from campervan-shaped plates to camping backpack-style party bags.
Luxe Lace
Designers including Victoria Beckham, Chloé and Valentino embraced lace in all its intricate, delicate glory. We love the diaphanous, flowing chiffon gowns that cropped up on the catwalks and it’s no surprise that online platforms like Instagram and Pinterest are predicting a return to ornate, highly decorated styles and textures in 2025.
This year it’s a trend that translates to parties, cue our new broderie anglaise tableware. Inspired by eyelet embroidery, this ultra-pretty collection is perfect for bridal showers or stylish summer parties
Rococo Revival
Frills and flourishes are back – across catwalks, where corsets and bodices have made a comeback along with more ornate tablescapes. The term ‘Rococo party’ was up 140+ as a search term on Pinterest this year. Happily, it's a trend that Meri Meri can cater to most elegantly. Cue our collection in collaboration with French patisserie and macaron makers Ladurée, namely the ‘Marie-Antoinette’ collection. Fit for your very own baroque-style banquet!
“Why save the best things for special occasions? Make everyday dining special with favorite glasses, chic placemats and fabric napkins. In winter, I always light candles at family dinners – it instantly makes things cozy and fun!”
– Meredithe Stuart-Smith, Founder & President
Rodeo Parties
Cowboy and cowgirl style continues to be a big trend since Beyoncé revived country music in 2024. Other stylish women including Kate Hudson and Gigi Hadid have also embraced the fun, bohemian Western-style dressing, cowboy hats and suede included. We know it’s still a big trend for kids’ parties, so our new Western-themed collection includes everything you need for the ultimate rodeo/ranch-inspired party, from cowboy boot-shaped plates to ranch-hat-style party hats. Yeehaw!
Power Pastels
Punchy peaches and pinks! Zingy mint green! Luscious lilacs! Pastels are back but not as we know them – in a slightly hyped-up version of their former selves. For Spring/Summer 2025, bold pastels are big news thanks to designers like Burberry and Versace. Look out for crocus, a magenta-tinged purple, and lime cream, a soft pastel green. Our collection of Beautiful Basics includes lemon sherbet, sea foam green and periwinkle blue/purple, suitable for any event from birthday party to summer picnic.
“Big decorations make an impact with minimal effort! That’s why we love designing epic backdrops and garlands and beautiful paper lanterns. Just a couple of lantern sets hung over a table evokes instant joy! In summer, I love hanging them from trees in the garden – perfect for picnics.”

Gaming Parties
Get set for gaming mania! With Minecraft: The Movie out in April and Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra set for release, video gaming kids have plenty to look forward to in 2025. For kids who love video games, gaming parties are fun and interactive. Either set up a gaming lounge or alternatively call in a gaming van to bring the fun, and multiple consoles or VR headsets, to the doorstep. Serve up the party using our new video game tableware. It’s time to level up!
Movie-Inspired Parties
There’s a slew of fun new kids’ movies in 2025 that are bound to inspire party trends. Let's start with the Smurfs, released in February, and fitting right into the cutecore trend, this movie is bound to delight. Go for blue and white party decorations to form your party color backdrop.
The much-anticipated Snow White starring Rachel Zelger, is due for release in March and set to inspire Snow White-themed parties among fairy tale loving kids. Simply using yellow, red and blue party decor will add instant Snow White vibes! Meanwhile, How to Train Your Dragon is released in June and opens the trend for Norse-inspired gatherings and dragon outfits
Nesting Parties
Mom-to-be focused baby showers have evolved into family-focused nesting parties. According to Pinterest, the search term "Nesting Party" is up 205%. The emphasis is now on helping the parents prepare for the postpartum period by providing practical gifts like nutritious food for the freezer and essentials for the newborn and parents.
Guests may even get involved in helping with final prep before the baby arrives, like setting up cribs and strollers. We think there is even more reason to celebrate the occasion with some well-picked decorations and partyware – a bit of style always goes down well.
