I have made quite a few SB, and I have never done a theme. Elegant, color scheme yes.
To me a theme cheapens it.

What are things the chosson and kallah are into? I feel like that would be the best place to start.

I was once by a sb where the host came out with a pile of mishpacha magazines, and the front cover had the chosen and kallah picture from their wedding with the words "massive chasaeneh celebrated (and the date)"
was so well done some ppl where so shocked that they would post a picture of a kallah on a jewish magazine lol.
They got a graphic designer to do it and then stuck it onto old magazines...

OP here,
I have to reply to the xmas one. Honestly, I think someone is bored out there and joking.
But if she isnt, then I want to cry.
Its like a survivor making a party in a nazi german theme.
Do you know what the Christians did to us jews??? and xmas completely represents that!!! The person who persecuted and pogroms, the inquisition I could go on.
How sad.
And to all the amazing ideas... thanks so much!!
I am looking for a generic idea... love the chess theme... perfect match.... along those lines as dont know the chosson and kallah to well, but want to make it extra special.
I think its so nice when there is a theme.... you know... going out to them everynight can get tiring... however joyful, so making it a theme just gives it an extra touch

Hoping the X-mas theme was a joke Can't Believe It Can't Believe It Can't Believe It
Never heard of making a Themed Sheva Brochos. But you got some cool ideas on here.

That's true, but I don't know if a theme would make it easier. My friend said her favourite Sheva Brachos was when she made salad and ordered pizza and all her husbands friends from yeshiva came. They all sat on the floor because there was no furniture yet, and they are and talked and sang, with no pressure. My sisters Sheva Brachos week ran into Shiva Asar b'Tammuz, and she commented how nice it was to have an evening off.

Start with a color scheme
I like white and black
And then think of things that go with that color scheme
Art Deco
Harlequin
Tuxedo and Bridal Gown

Tennis theme has lots of romantic terms
LOVE. MATCH
Fill long glass vases with tennis balls and add flowers to the top
it could be fun

Some themes I've come across:
Road theme: traffic lights, road signs with cute quotes (chossen loved driving)
underwater/fish theme
garden theme: flowers, watering cans etc
hair theme (if kalla did hair or was into it): brushes, blowdyrers, scissors

These seem so childish. Like a 10 year old’s birthday party.
