July Themes for Parties
In the northern hemisphere July is the middle of Summer so a Celebrate Summer party might be a great idea to enjoy the heat. Think pool parties, beach parties, BBQ’s anything outside to enjoy the sunshine.
On the other side of the globe in the southern hemisphere, July is mid-winter so it is the perfect time to get together for a Celebrate Winter party. If you can’t beat the cold, then why not enjoy it with the help of some friends and a fireplace.
I hope you enjoy the detailed list of July themes for parties below.

July Party Themes
People that celebrate their birthday in July have either the star sign of Cancer (1 – 22 July) or Leo (23 – 31 July). You could have a Cancer themed party celebrating that special in your life. It’s hard to find zodiac party decorations in your local store so here are some great Cancer themed party decorations to make your party extra special.
Likewise if you’re looking for Leo themed birthday decorations check out this awesome set below to up level your party theme. They also have decorations for the other zodiac / star signs so check them out here PrintablePartyStudio.
July Themed Parties
A favorite and fun party theme that would suit a July party is a Celebrity Dress Up party. The catch is that the famous person you dress up as must also have a July birthday.
But to make it easier, if you choose an actor you can dress up as a character they played in a movie. For example as both Daniel Radcliffe and J.K. Rowling both have a birthday in July, so you could easily dress up in a Harry Potter costume.
Male celebrities / famous figures that were born in July include: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, O.J. Simpson, Kevin Hart, Harrison Ford, George W. Bush, Alexander the Great, Nelson Mandela, Woody Harrelson, Julius Caesar, Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Will Ferrell, Daniel Radcliffe, 50 Cent, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Julian Assange, Richard Branson, Wesley Snipes, Carl Jung, Dalai Lama, Edmund Hillary, David Hasselhoff, Carlos Santana.
Female celebrities / famous figures that were born in July include: Kristen Bell, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Margot Robbie, Kate Beckinsale, J.K. Rowling, Sandra Bullock, Frida Kahlo, Monica Lewinsky, Liv Tyler, Lisa Kudrow, Lindsay Lohan, Pamela Anderson, Camilla Parker Bowles, Courtney Love, Jessica Simpson, Terri Irwin, Miss Elliott, Ginger Rogers.
Themes for Parties in July
Thank you to timeandate and daysoftheyear there are a lot of interesting party theme ideas based on some fun, weird and wonderful International Days in July. Some are trivial but awesome, think Cheesecake Day (30 July) is fake? Nope it’s real and it’s great excuse to indulge. Read on for some great July party ideas.
Full list of all July party themes is at the bottom of the post.
Christmas In July Party
Christmas in July is a great way to experience the contrasting seasons whilst having an (albeit smaller) Christmas celebration. For those in Australia or the southern hemisphere it is a great way to experience the joys of a winter Christmas similar to our USA and European friends.
For those in the northern hemisphere having Christmas in July is a great way to celebrate Christmas outdoors, without the blistering cold.
So get ready and grab out your Christmas decorations including your tree and for an epic Christmas in July celebration. If you can’t face putting up a full Christmas tree again grab a mini Christmas tree here.
You’ll get to enjoy it twice a year from now on, so why not!
Also instead of buying expensive presents look at doing a Secret Santa or Kris Kringle gift exchange.
Picnic Party
Picnic Month (July)
July is the perfect month for a picnic, so why not turn it into a party with some friends and family. Grab lots of blankets to sit on and have everyone bring their own drinks and serve some yummy finger food.

4th of July Party
(Independence Day)
A party for the 4th of July of course does not need any sort of formal introduction! It’s a great time to get together with family and friends to celebrate the significance of this holiday.

Comedy Party
Joke Day (1 July)
A comedy party is a great way to get together to celebrate an occasion and it’s lots of fun. You could set your party area up like a comedy club with a make-shift stage, microphone and chairs for the audience.
Those party guests that are extraverted might enjoy telling jokes for everyone’s enjoyment. You could also have some great comedy sketches playing on TV in the background, think Jerry Seinfeld, Eddie Murphy, Michael McIntyre….or any of your favorites.
Make sure you also have an open bar happening for the drinks to get everyone in the swing of things.
If you have a larger crowd and want to make sure that the comedian can be heard, then you may need a portable microphone set like this one. It can be used to play music through as well and of course karaoke too – for when the mood strikes.

A rock painting party is a great party theme for adults and/or kids. It’s easy to prepare for as you’ll only need some rock painting supplies and refreshments and you’re ready to go.
Here’s some great (and inexpensive) rock painting kits and you’ll also probably need plastic tablecloths as this could get a little messy. It’s not just about painting silly faces, the sky is the limit.
You could do floral designs or paint the rocks white first and do henna type patterns with darker paint. Or just let your guest’s creative spirit run wild.

Are you game to have a baby shark party? If you’ve had enough of baby shark but you are still keen to have a shark party there are lots of under the sea and shark decorations here.
Tattoo Party
National Tattoo Day (17 July)
So this party theme is not for everyone, but it definitely will be a favorite for some people. Why not throw a tattoo party for your next get together or special occasion. You’ll definitely need a professional tattoo artist to attend.
It would make sense to have some of your guests’ design ideas drawn up prior to the party and to give to the tattoo artist in advance.
Obviously this party will not be the time for a full sleeve but definitely a great time for something small and fun. And it might be better to serve mocktails at this party, especially prior to getting a tattoo…you want to make sure before you get inked.
Vegan Food Party
Independence from Meat Day (4 July)
The vegan lifestyle is definitely trending with more people trying it on for size. Why not have a vegan food party for your next gathering. Even non-vegans can enjoy some delicious plant-based food at this party.
