Champagne Theme Party Ideas
Host a champagne themed party to celebrate adult birthdays, anniversaries, or showers! Set up a fun interactive display with lots of bubbly paired with chocolate, caramel, and peanut butter drizzled popcorn mixes.
Champagne and Dessert
The next time you have something to celebrate, big or small, incorporate this fun theme party for adults. I LOVE the play on words: ‘poppin’ popcorn and ‘poppin’ bottles and champagne corks. The two make a fantastic combo!
And when it comes to easy entertaining it doesn’t get much better than this. Party guests can help themselves and there’s no formal serving pieces to worry about. You’ll need glasses for the bubbly, and bags or boxes for the popcorn.
Party Decorations
My design and decor inspiration came from the bottles of bubbly. I loved the neutral tones of the labels with copper, gold, and chocolate brown. And it’s reflected in the colors and flavors of the sweet gourmet popcorn, too.
Setting the scene is easy with a tassel banner and a monochromatic color scheme that reflects the food and drinks.
Gold and pearl balloons from the party store add more character to the display with their ‘pop’ theme.
To add an extra touch I wrote the word “Celebrate” on one of the balloons, using a gold marker.
Place the popcorn in apothecary jars. Tie on simple tags so guests know what’s inside, and provide snack bags so guests can fill them up.
Print out a simple sign that reads, “popcorn & poppin’ corks!” Party goers will appreciate the play on words.
Stemmed glassware is available along with glass markers so guests can write their name on the side and keep track of their drink.
To bring together the “pop” theme in even more I added a bowl of party “poppers” for guests to have fun with. I removed the commercial labels and wrapped decorative tape around them so they would coordinate with the rest of the decor.
Sweet Food Pairing
You know how good champagne and chocolate go together, so my popcorn and champagne bar consists of a few flavors of chocolate drizzled popcorn and some foil wrapped chocolate candies. The balance between the sweets and the bubbly works well together.
The flavors are peanut butter cup; Â potato chip, pretzel, & chocolate; and sea salt caramel.
All the popcorn was purchased from HomeGoods and TJMaxx but you could make it even more unique by adding in chocolate chips, crumbled cookie pieces, sweetened nuts, M&M’s, etc.
Parties With Champagne
What celebration would you incorporate a “poppin” party champagne theme into? Here are some to try.
- This is a great theme to incorporate into your anniversary party ideas.
- Include this elegant bar in your Oscars party ideas or create a movie themed popcorn bar for the occasion.
- Add this to your New Years Eve party. It would be perfect for a midnight celebration.

This looks awesome
I love, love, love this. Sparkling wine and popcorn is one of my favorite pairings. I usually watch a movie, make some popcorn and pop a cork on a Friday after a stressful week. Nothing feels more indulgent. But this takes it to a whole new level!
I like how you think, Carin! Turning an ordinary Friday into something special!
Love this idea, Chris. You can’t go wrong with champagne and chocolate! And the popcorn looks so nice in the apothecary jars. Happy New Year to you!

Thanks so much, Tracey. Hope you guys have a fabulous night planned for NYE! See you in 2015 – cheers!
A great idea for New Year’s Eve. I like the idea of serving the flavored popcorns instead of more baked goods. The nice thing with popcorn is that you can switch it up and mix some savory flavors with some sweet ones. Your display is so sweet and simple, with the near-neutral color scheme. I like the marker on the glasses, is this something that stays on for the evening, but can then be washed off later? I have never used these, but could see so many great possibilities for them. Thanks for the continuing great inspiration!
Thanks Chloe. Yes, the marked glass go straight into the dishwasher and come out clean. We used them for out Christmas party and guests loved adding their own flair to their glass 🙂
This is such a lovely idea! Perfect for New Years Eve! I love popcorn 🙂
Me too, Monique. So many yummy flavors to choose from!
