Steampunk decor has been making waves in the last decade, but perhaps you are among the crowd that is not too familiar with the details. Actually, a steampunk party would be ‘lit’ if you have an upcoming celebration. Age does not matter! Whether you are a millennial, Gen X, Gen Y, or Gen Z, a 19th-century space-age, industrial steampunk-themed party would suit you.

But how do you go about decorating a steampunk-themed party? Let’s go mechanical as we go through a list of some fun steampunk party decor ideas!

Planning a Steampunk Party

Before you buy any decor for your steampunk party, set out a plan. Will you be sending out invitations? How about the menu? To have a better overview of your tasks, create a to-do list and a mood board.
