If you’ve ever dreamed of attending a royal garden soiree or being invited to a ball hosted by the Featheringtons, then a Bridgerton-themed party is exactly what you need.
Whether you’re planning a bridal shower, a birthday bash, or just want an excuse to gather the girls and gossip over tea, throwing a Bridgerton party is all about charm, elegance, and a touch of Regency-era drama.
Below you’ll find all the inspiration you need—decor, food, fashion, and a few cheeky nods to the show—to help you pull together a party that would have even Queen Charlotte requesting an invite.
Bridgerton Party Invitations
Before your guests sip tea or twirl under twinkle lights, you’ve got to invite them in true Regency fashion. Whether you’re mailing printed invites or sending digital ones, a well-designed invitation sets the tone and gives your guests a glimpse of the charming affair to come.
Here are a few ways to make your invitations feel straight out of the Ton:
- Use elegant wording – Phrases like “You are cordially invited to attend…” or “Her Grace requests your presence at…” help give that high-society feel.
- Pick fancy fonts and soft colors – Think calligraphy-style fonts, pastel backgrounds, and floral borders for that romantic touch.
- Add a wax seal or ribbon – For printed invites, seal the envelope with a wax stamp or wrap it with a satin ribbon to make it feel extra special.
- Mention attire expectations – If you’d love your guests to come dressed in Regency-inspired fashion (or even just wear pastels or florals), make sure to include that on the invite so no one feels caught off guard.
- Digital options work too – Canva, Paperless Post, and Evite all have templates you can customize. Search for terms like “tea party,” “floral,” or “vintage” to find something that fits the theme.
It doesn’t have to be over the top—just a few thoughtful touches are enough to spark excitement and set the stage for your Bridgerton bash.
Bridgerton Party Decorations
Setting the scene is key. Think florals, pastels, and vintage touches—like you stepped straight into the pages of Lady Whistledown’s society papers.
1. Pastel Color Palette
Stick with soft colors like blush, lavender, baby blue, mint, and ivory. These shades were all the rage in Regency-era London, and they instantly give off that dreamy Bridgerton vibe.
2. Abundant Florals
Florals everywhere. Use fresh or faux flowers as table centerpieces, draped on stair railings, or tied to the backs of chairs. Hydrangeas, peonies, roses, and wisteria are perfect picks.
3. Candlelight and Chandeliers
Go for romantic lighting. Use taper candles in gold candlesticks, hang string lights overhead, or, if you're inside, set up a small chandelier or two for that ballroom feel.
4. Lace and China
Layer your tables with lace runners or vintage doilies and pull out (or thrift) mismatched floral teacups and saucers. It adds instant charm and authenticity.
5. A Lady Whistledown Station
Set up a small corner with a typewriter or feather quill, paper scrolls, and a sign that says “Lady Whistledown Is Watching.” You can even have guests write anonymous notes or predictions just for fun.
Bridgerton Party Food Ideas
The Bridgerton crew doesn’t mess around when it comes to dainty tea treats and decadent desserts. Here’s what to serve your guests.
6. Afternoon Tea Sandwiches
Think cucumber, egg salad, smoked salmon, or chicken salad cut into pretty little triangles or circles. Stack them on a tiered tray for full effect.
7. Mini Scones with Jam and Cream
Serve plain or fruit scones with strawberry preserves and clotted cream (or whipped cream if you’re not fancy like that).
8. French Macarons
Macarons scream elegance. They also happen to come in the perfect Bridgerton shades. Pick up a box or make your own if you’re up for a baking challenge.
9. Tea Cakes and Petit Fours
These bite-sized desserts feel like something the Queen herself would enjoy.
10. Sugared Grapes or Fruit Skewers
Fresh fruit on a stick or rolled in sugar for sparkle adds color and refreshment to your table.

Offer a tea bar with loose-leaf options, honey, lemon slices, and cream. You can also create a signature cocktail, like a lavender lemonade gin fizz, or serve champagne with edible flowers.

What to Wear to a Bridgerton Party
Encourage guests to channel their inner Penelope or Eloise with outfits that say, “I’m ready for the season.”
12. Empire Waist Dresses
This iconic silhouette is flattering and so on-theme. Thrift stores and costume shops are great for finding affordable options.
13. Pearls and Gloves
Pearl chokers, gloves, and delicate bracelets make the perfect finishing touches. If you're doing photos, provide a few extra pieces in a dress-up box.
14. Hair Accessories
Floral crowns, jeweled pins, or dainty headbands bring the whole look together. Bonus points for a tiara if someone’s the guest of honor!

Bridgerton Party Activities
You don’t need a string quartet (but hey, wouldn’t that be nice?). These activities will keep your guests entertained with minimal effort.
15. Play a Round of Croquet
If your Bridgerton party is happening outdoors, set up a croquet game on the lawn for a fun and fitting garden party activity. It’s low-key competitive, easy to learn, and feels very Regency.
16. Bridgerton Trivia
Put everyone’s Netflix bingeing to the test with a few rounds of trivia. Mix show-specific questions with Regency-era general knowledge.
17. Photo Booth with Props
Use a floral backdrop, add a handheld fan, feathered hat, monocle, or newspaper with “Lady Whistledown” printed on it for hilarious photos.
18. Create a Bridgerton-Style Playlist
One of the most iconic parts of the show is the music—those dreamy classical covers of modern pop songs totally set the mood. It’s the kind of thing guests might not even notice at first, but once they recognize a string quartet version of thank u, next or Wrecking Ball, it becomes a fun little party moment.
To recreate that vibe, build a playlist that mixes:
- Instrumental covers of pop songs (look up artists like Vitamin String Quartet and Duomo—they’re featured heavily in the show)
- Classical waltzes or piano pieces for background elegance
- A few original Bridgerton tracks from the show's official soundtracks (especially for big entrances or announcements)
You can find ready-made playlists on Spotify or Apple Music by searching Bridgerton soundtrack or Regency pop covers, or make your own and personalize it to the guest of honor. Bonus points if you time the playlist to hit the dramatic songs during cake cutting or a toast.
It’s one of those little details that make the whole party feel super themed without a ton of extra work.
19. Dance Card Game
Hand out mini “dance cards” and encourage guests to chat and “fill” their cards by meeting or talking to others. Great icebreaker if people don’t know each other well.
Bridgerton Party Favors
End the day with a little something to remember the occasion.
20. Mini Perfume Bottles
Pick up small glass bottles and fill them with lavender water or a homemade body spray.
21. Tea Bag Favors
Bundle a few pretty tea bags with ribbon and a note that says “You’re the diamond of the season.”
22. Sugar Cookies
Use Bridgerton-themed cookie cutters (a teacup, crown, or dress shape) and wrap them in clear bags.
Want to Go Bigger?
If you’re throwing a larger party—like a bridal shower or milestone birthday—consider:
- Renting a tea room or garden space
- Hiring a string quartet or harpist
- Giving awards for “Best Dressed,” “Most Likely to Be in Lady Whistledown,” or “Most Eligible Guest”
You don’t need royal blood or a palace to throw a Bridgerton-worthy bash—just a few thoughtful details, some florals, and a whole lot of charm. Whether you’re keeping it cozy or going all out, the goal is to have fun, feel a little fancy, and bring a bit of Regency flair to real life.
