Mamma Mia themed party: Invitation, decoration & menu

If you’re a Mamma Mia themed party fan, raise your hand! A Mamma Mia themed party will bring you into the dancing queen mood right at your own home even if you can’t make it to Donna’s hotel in Greece anytime soon. Whether you’re planning a Mamma Mia themed party for a child’s birthday or an adult-themed night, we definitely have the perfect plan for you! It is always a nice idea to come up with a surprise theme that gives the guests a sense of being immersed in food, entertainment, and decor. Fun fancy dress-up themes are also a great way to get your guests involved.
Mamma Mia was originally an ABBA song which became a musical and then turned into a film, and after that turned into another film, and which has now been turned into an immersive experience where you can really see it all. In Mamma Mia themed parties, game themes are based around the movie, and after the children have eaten, dance is taught to show off after the disco. The birthday child’s favorite Abba music will be played at the disco, and the party is also topped off with a snow machine! “Mamma Mia” parties aren’t just for last summer. It’s exciting to celebrate a birthday or other milestone with a “Mamma Mia”-themed party. So, you can send a “Mamma Mia”-style S.O.S. no matter what the season is. It’s a great way to warm up a cold night or to make summer nights even hotter with a “Mamma Mia” movie-themed party.

Mamma Mia party invitation ideas

If you are planning for a Mamma Mia party, it’s probably the time to start thinking about invitations for upcoming Mamma Mia-themed parties or other events. You only seem to have two choices these days: either you purchase a few boxes of plain, boring invitations from the superstore or you look through Pinterest crafts endlessly until you get overwhelmed. However, you don’t have to be an expert to create personalized and stunning invitations for the party. To create original “Mamma Mia” party invitations, you can use an invitation template or design your own with a word processing program. Thus, if you prefer, you can always make your own handmade invitations and start with a pencil before designing the invitation. The front of the invitation should be decorated with a disco ball and music notes. To give your invitations the 1970s feel, choose a bold font, such as Broadway or Castellar. Make your invitations catchy with words from the 1970s, such as “groovy” or “far-out”, or sing one of the Abba songs or lyrics from the soundtrack to the Mamma Mia movie. You can decorate the invitations with paisley patterns in bright colors.

  • Abba’s disco music plays in the background of Mamma Mia, which is set on a Greek island. The centrepiece of any “Mamma Mia” party is a flower arrangement, but for a disco-inspired arrangement, include mirrored Styrofoam balls and silver sequins. The food table features Aphrodite’s fountain in the form of a small table-top fountain. Embellish the table with dolphin and sea creature images. Tablecloths can be made from gauzy white fabrics printed with blue floral patterns, or they can be made from white lace. Use vibrantly printed fabrics or shimmering fabrics for an elegant table setting. Consider setting up lighted disco balls, mirror balls, and tropical plants on the stage area if you are holding karaoke contests. The traditional lighting can be replaced by backlights.
  • No Mamma Mia would be complete without bright, cheerful colours. To match the movie cover, we can choose hot pink and bright blue, but green, yellow or orange would definitely work as well. Adding pink flower arrangements and red and silver balloons to your space will make your space appear simple and effective. Streamers make a colourful door entry to your party if you want to go all out with your decorations. To serve food in style, purchase white and blue dishes. To add a personal touch, consider using tapestries, novelty items and also fairy lights.

Decorations based on movie scenes

You should be considering which movie scene you would want to recreate when looking for decorations to go with the Mamma Mia themed party.

  • Several parts of the movie can be used for the party decor. You can use lots of rich blues, so people will be reminded of Donna’s beautiful blue doors and shutters from the movie, if you want the party to look like the parts that take place near Donna’s Hotel and on the island
  • It would be nice if there were lots of karaoke music, microphones and disco balls to recreate the scene from Sophie’s Hen Do. Under the disco balls, have the ladies perform and blow the night away. Party decorations like these are also great for birthdays. In addition, if you plan to go mobile, just take these disco sticks with you. Swizzle the disco swizzle sticks into your drinks while you are out bar hopping. The sticks also make fantastic party favours for other themed parties as well.

Mamma mia party menu/ Greek food options

Mamma mia party menu

If you are having a Mamma Mia theme party, the food should always be fresh, good, crisp, and reminiscent of foods typically consumed on Greek islands in the Mediterranean. It is important for meat-eaters that the beef and lamb are succulent and abundant, with flavourful dips and flatbreads to accompany them. A large salad of Mousaka is ideal for vegetarians who love tomatoes and fresh vegetables.

You can expect the best quality of food when all the produce is sourced locally and delivered fresh every evening. For those who are more ambitious, gyros, zucchini pies, and spanakopita are other options. Alternatively, you can serve simple snacks on skewers. Figs, mozzarella, and pancetta can be skewered on a stick with olives and feta cheese for a quick appetizer. Finish the meal with phyllo dough-wrapped baklava and chocolate soufflΓ©. Prepare a delicious Mediterranean main course to transport your guests to the sands of Kalokairi. You can serve your guests a tropical flower-adorned hotel cake for dessert. The most delicious party you’ve ever hosted will be remembered forever if you provide your guests with blue flower-patterned cookies

Also, for those who want to celebrate and opt for a Mamma Mia-themed bachelorette party, Cookies are also a good bachelorette party dessert and bachelorette party favor for them. Mamma Mia cookies may include sayings such as “Mamma Mia!” There’s a Wedding Coming,” and ” Lake Wife Lake Life,”

The dress code and Costume Ideas

The dress code and Costume Ideas

The attire or the costume is one of the favorite aspects of the theme. Bright colors, positive attitudes, and general joy pervade Mamma Mia’s movie. Colors are shown everywhere throughout the movie and it’s one of its specialties. It would be appropriate to wear platform shoes, bellbottoms, frayed dresses, etc. because Donna is a 70s kind of gal who is the main character in the mamma mia movie. Your guests need to be dressed to the nines if you are having a themed party. The perfect Sophie-inspired ensemble for your Instagram feed is bottom jeans, boho maxi skirts, and flowy blouses, or you can choose casual wear such as baggy button-up shirts and capris or a peasant blouse with overalls. You can also wear maxi dresses and button-front shirts with bell-bottom pants. Almost all thrift stores and consignment shops carry vintage 1970s clothing. This means wearing flared pants, wearing halter tops, and being fully committed will also be appropriate for these parties. During college or your early career, you might not have the money to buy the theme-based costume for the party, Thanks to Pinterest and YouTube tutorials, we’re in the age of Donnas and Dynamos this Halloween, both of which you can create on the internet. Also, you can copy the look from Donna and the Dynamos if you really want to go all out. You cannot have a Donna and the Dynamos performance without go-go boots, BTW.
