March like any other month has various holidays and observances the world over. Often you will find people celebrating them with matching themed parties, where in the corporate world, it's always a good rule of thumb to "work hard and play hard" and in this sense - party hard. Themed corporate party invitations are fun to do up and leading up to the day of the event, planning and executing the themed party vision will be too.

We've put together some notable holidays and observances that occur on March and how corporate companies plan around them with themes and inspired designs, with the corporate party invitations as well as other aspects of party/event planning.

Ides of March was a way of noting the 15th of March during Roman times which was immortalised by Shakespeare in his play "Julius Caesar". Often if there are casual events or parties being planned, a Roman themed office party would be fun especially if it means dressing up! As part of the party planning, when sending out the corporate party invites you can request the RSVP to also state what sort of costume they will be needing, if they require a costume to be rented and if so what size it should be. The party planning committee can have this set up so that invitees will be able to pick up their costumes before the event and not be disappointed by last minute

St. Patrick's Day is a well loved Irish observance. Though not always a holiday in most countries, it's a great theme for a party that may coincide with the date or timing of the event you are planning.

Bridal Showers, Hens Nights, and Kitchen Tea Dos

A bride usually has her hands full with all the planning underway and the million little details she wants to have on her special day.  It’s always great to gift your dear friend some time to just relax and have a good time without the stress of wedding planning. That’s why you can see the likes of bridal showers, hens night and kitchen tea parties being planned, sometimes by the different friend circles. While the likes  of her high school friend may put together a risqué hens night invitation for a night about town, whereas her office friends and colleagues may want to come up with kitchen tea party invites and her family and extended relatives may want to shower with love so they’ll need bridal shower invitations to let everyone know.

There are many themes that would be ideal for bride-related pre-wedding parties, where as risqué are chosen for hens night parties, chic and elegant for bridal showers, and cosy being the general theme for a kitchen tea party.

Parties for the Groom

A Groom shower may be too much of a feminine term but essentially that is what it can be. There are many such parties that the groom’s friends and closest kin throw in honour of the groom-to-be. Some of these parties include the likes of “Build-a-bar” bash (which involves gifting any item that would help in building up a bar such as liquor, accouterments, glasses and such), “Around the Clock” party (which involves buying a present for the groom that is relevant to what he would be doing at that time, such as a Keurig machine or toaster for 7am), “Tools for Marriage” celebration (involves either advice or home repair/improvement tools that can be useful in his married life), “He’s the Man” shindig (which may involve the likes of  a road trip, a holiday or even a weekend staying in and relaxing with his best buddies, or something totally fun like a Paintball Tournament). Apart from this, there is the Bachelor’s Party which can involve all these “Shower” items as well as some general fun!

There are many names that a bridal shower goes by. Whilst some countries refer to it as a bachelorette party, others call it a hen’s night, a kitchen tea party, and of course, a bridal shower. If you’re a tad curious as to what their differences are, here is what it’s about!

Australia and New Zealand refer to a party held for a woman about to be married as a “Hens Party” or “Hens Night”

The United States of America and Canada usually refer to it as a “Bachelorette Party”, though it’s also called a “Stagette” in Canada.

Most English-speaking countries refer to it as “Girl’s Night Out” or “Kitchen Tea”

South Africa refers to this get-together as a “Kitchen Tea” party

A “Bridesmaid Luncheon” is referred to a get-together during the day often hosted by the bride/mother-of-the-bride where the bride often receives gifts.

If the event’s highlight is showering the bride with gifts, then this is referred to as a “Bridal Shower” and are usually held before a “Hens Night”

Parties where both the groom’s parties and bride’s parties are attending are referred to as “Stag and Doe”, “Jack and Jill”, and “Buck and Doe” parties

While the objective is to have an event honouring the bride and the upcoming milestone in her life, hens nights usually involves lots of fun, dancing and drinking or a night out whereas a kitchen tea or bridal shower is more of an elegant affair, often with relaxation and bonding. However, the designs of your impressive bridal shower invitations, even a hens night or kitchen tea can be anything you want it to be (provided you know what sort of style the bride favours).

Usually hens night invitations include bright and bold hues and somewhat risqué designs while bridal shower invites or kitchen tea invites are usually more sophisticated. Stilettos, cocktails, silhouettes of dancing girls and jungle-fever prints are popular on hens night invites, whilst Parisian designs, fashion trends, jewellery insignias, pretty patterns and kitchen-related items are popular with bridal shower and kitchen tea invites.
