How to Plan a Stylish Leopard Print Party That Wows Your Guests
Let’s be honest—planning a themed party can feel overwhelming. You want it to be stylish, not cheesy; bold, but not over the top. And when it comes to leopard print, it’s easy to cross that fine line. How do you create a party that’s classy, trendy, and totally Instagram-worthy without it looking like a jungle exploded?
Fear not, party planner extraordinaire! I’m here to guide you through throwing a leopard print party that’s equal parts chic and fun. Whether it’s a birthday, bachelorette bash, or just because (do we really need a reason to party?), you’ll be roaring with style in no time.

Step 2: Choose a Color Palette
Leopard print is fabulous on its own, but pairing it with the right colors will take your party to the next level. Think metallics like gold or rose gold for a touch of glam, or keep it sleek with black and white accents. If you’re feeling bold, throw in a pop of hot pink or deep emerald green for a modern twist. The key is balance—let the leopard print shine without overwhelming the space.
Step 3: Decorate Like a Pro
When it comes to decorations, less is more. Focus on key areas like the dessert table, photo backdrop, and seating area. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Tableware: Leopard-print napkins, plates, and table runners add a fun touch without going overboard.
- Balloons: Mix leopard-print balloons with solid gold and black ones for a stylish balloon arch or bouquet.
- Photo Backdrop: Create a DIY photo booth with a leopard-print backdrop, metallic fringe curtains, and props like cat ears or “wild” signs.
- Centerpieces: Use gold vases filled with black feathers, faux greenery, or fresh flowers that match your color palette.
Step 4: Plan the Menu
No party is complete without delicious food and drinks! Keep the theme going with leopard-inspired treats like:
- Leopard-print sugar cookies (a quick Pinterest search will give you plenty of ideas).
- Chocolate cupcakes with gold sprinkles.
- A cake with leopard-print fondant or frosting accents.
- Signature cocktails or mocktails with cute leopard-print straws or cocktail picks.
Pro tip: Use clear acrylic trays or black and gold serving platters to elevate the presentation.
Step 5: Dress the Part
Encourage your guests to embrace the theme with a leopard-print dress code. Whether it’s full-on leopard outfits or subtle accessories like scarves or shoes, it’ll add to the party’s vibe. And hey, you deserve to be the star of the show—find a fabulous leopard-print outfit that makes you feel like the queen of the jungle!
Step 6: Add Fun Activities
Keep the energy up with activities that match your wild theme. Some ideas include:
- DIY Craft Station: Guests can decorate mini picture frames or create custom leopard-print keychains.
- Photo Booth: Set up a selfie station with fun props and an instant camera for take-home memories.
- Party Games: Play “Name That Roar” (guess the animal sound) or a scavenger hunt with leopard-themed clues.
Step 7: Party Favors
Send your guests home with stylish party favors to remember the day. Mini leopard-print tote bags filled with candy, custom candles, or even small potted succulents are thoughtful and on-theme.
