French Party Theme Full of Parisian Vibes

Who says big girls can't have pretty parties too? This darling (yet sophisticated) french party themed dessert table, designed by by Glory of Glorious Treats, has all the Parisian vibes. This would be perfect for a Paris themed party, French bridal shower, or baby shower theme.

This french party theme is brought to life with a color scheme of black, white, and shades of pink. To me, these colors work perfectly for a french party.

The desserts are displayed atop and inside a variety of platters, cake stands, and bowls. Wire Eiffel tower decorations were focal points on the table.

Displaying cookies and small treats under glass cloches also adds an elegance to the dessert table which is perfect for a Paris or French theme.

You could bake your french inspired desserts (here's a great list) or order from your local bakery. I've also seen some staples, like macaroons available at local grocery stores.

I love the addition of this small seating area. It reminds me of a cafe in Paris. You could rearrange your patio furniture and recreate a small area like this inviting guests to sit and chat.

How to Decorate For A French Party Theme

Many of these party ideas you see above, but here's a list of things you can incorporate into your french party theme.

  • Colors of black, white, and shades of pink
  • Black and white striped linens and ribbon
  • Small Eiffel tower decorations
  • Glass cloches to display food and desserts
  • Roses (you can buy from local market and arrange yourself in simple vases)
  • A small sitting area to give that café feel

Food and Drinks to Serve at Your French Inspired Party

There are many directions you can go with your party food depending on what type of even you're having and at what time (is it a brunch? A dinner?). I have some ideas to get you started.

  • French Dessert Ideas: Macaroons, small cupcakes, croissants, sweet crêpes, pain au chocolat, lemon tarts
  • French Brunch or Lunch Ideas: French omelets, savory crêpes, baguettes with fig jam, Coq Au Vin, french fries (though maybe this one is a stretch, it's fun)
  • Popular French Drinks to Serve: Champagne, Mimosa, French 75 cocktail, a variety of popular French beers (here's a great list).

Tip: Be sure to plan a Parisian playlist to play during your party!
