How to Throw a Taylor Swift Party

Any theme party or birthday needs themed food, obviously, so let’s get fearless in the kitchen!

• Red Velvet Maroon Cupcakes
• Midnights Cookies that are totally bejeweled
• Celebrate Red with red velvet cookies or cake mix cookies
• Lover is giving pastel rainbow cake

• You’re On Your Own Kid – make those Friendship Bracelet Cupcakes or Friendship Bracelet Doughnuts
• Of course, make her signature red lip…as cutout sugar cookies!
• It’s Nothing New, but a charcuterie board or dessert board, or even a Taylor Swift Frosting Board would be fun!

Taylor Swift Drinks

Create some Happiness with some cocktails and mocktails!

• Grab some bubbly to avoid Champagne Problems and, of course, white wine.
• Live in the Lavender Haze, a refreshing drink with lavender syrup.
• We know how much Taylor loves Red, so whip up a Dirty Shirley to get Down Bad, or make a Shirley Temple Mocktail.
• Meet me at Midnight Champagne Cocktail

• If you’re a lemonade Lover, make some Cruel Summer Punch which has those pink and orange hues we love from the Eras intro.
• Be Fearless with a Pineapple Mimosa or pitcher of Lemonade.
• Welcome to New York – enjoy a Manhattan Drink
• Fly off to Paris with a French 75

DIY Taylor Swift Party Decorations

While you can find a ton of decorations on Amazon or Etsy, there are also a bunch you can DIY with just a few items. These are a homemade, for a Change.

• Friendship Bracelet Garland (3D) – while a little time consuming this is very simple to make. You simply need foam circles, ball pit balls, letter stickers, fishing line, and a large needle.
• Friendship Bracelet Garland (paper) – (see below for a purchase option, but this would be so easy to make!)
• Paper Rings – wrap fun decorative paper around your napkins or cutlery.
• Decorate your water bottles with easy wraps – just cut construction paper and tape it around the water bottle. Grab some Taylor Swift stickers to decorate!
• Photo backdrops – these can get super expensive. To keep the cost down, grab fringe or metallic table cloths and hang them in an open space. Add balloons and your friendship bracelet garland.
• Buy a cheap white paper table cloth (or white butcher paper) to cover the table with. You can either write your favorite songs and/or lyrics all over or place crayons or makers on the table and have everyone do it themselves.
• Flowers add so much texture – mix and match bright colors and make your own centerpieces.

Eras Tour Party Decorations

These are some items that would complete your table and decorations – thinks like plates and things that would be hard to make yourself. To save money: mix and match themed items with plain colors you find at discount stores.
