Tim’s tip
Put the dress code on the invitation so guests have time to find an outfit. Share the theme with your DJ too, so the music, lighting colours and dress code all fit together on the night.

Common questions
Can I get more than one theme idea?
Yes — use "Try another idea in this vibe" to see a different variation within the same vibe, or change your vibe selection and generate again for something completely different.
Do I have to follow the theme exactly?
Not at all — treat it as a starting point. Mix and match the dress code, colour palette or decor tips with your own ideas to suit your budget and venue.
Does the tool save my theme?
No, so use "Copy this theme" or "Print" to keep a record once you've found an idea you like.
