D&D THEMES
Dinner and Dance Themes
Concept moodboards for your company D&D, from easy dress codes to full costume nights. Pick a theme you love, and we’ll bring it to life with the backdrop, photo booth, emcee and entertainment to match. We’ve brought these themes to life for Singapore companies, and we can do the same for yours.
A good theme gives your D&D a story: the invitation, the backdrop, the photo booth and the games all point the same way. The concepts below are mood boards to spark ideas. Every element can be scaled up or down to suit your venue and budget.
Not every team loves dressing up. Look for the Easy dress code badge. Those themes work with outfits your colleagues already own, often just a colour or a single accessory.
All images are concept art for inspiration. Final event artwork is designed and print-ready for your event.
Good to know: Our D&D packages include a themed backdrop, artwork design and photo booth template for whichever theme you choose. The styling ideas on each card, such as themed entrances, props, projections and entertainment, are optional add-ons and quoted separately.

SIGNATURE COLLECTION
Looking for Something No One Else Has Done?
Beyond the themes on this page, we’ve developed a collection of signature themes that we share privately with clients. They’re original concepts for teams who want their D&D to feel truly one of a kind. Request the lookbook and we’ll send it along with your quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do we choose a theme for our D&D?
Start with your guests. If most colleagues won’t dress up, pick an Easy dress code theme. If your team loves to get into character, go for a Full costume theme. Then check it suits your venue and programme, for example an awards segment fits Hollywood Glamour naturally.
Does a theme add to the cost?
It doesn’t have to. Our D&D packages already include a themed backdrop, design and photo booth template. Extras like themed entrances, props or entertainment are optional and quoted separately. See our D&D cost guide for typical budgets.
Can we print the concept image as our backdrop?
No. The images on this page are concept art for inspiration. Your backdrop is designed specifically for your event and stage size, and prepared at print resolution.
Our colleagues don’t like dressing up. Will a theme still work?
Yes. Choose a theme with the Easy dress code badge, or keep the theme in the décor and photo booth only. Every card shows an easy option, often just a colour or a single accessory.
Can you create a custom theme for us?
Yes. Tell us your company’s story, colours or the mood you want, and we’ll develop a concept. You can also request our Signature Lookbook for original themes not shown here.
How early should we decide on a theme?
Ideally when you book your venue and emcee, about 4 to 6 months ahead for October to February dates. That leaves time for invitations, artwork and themed entertainment.
Found a Theme You Love?
Tell us your theme, date and guest count, and we’ll send a nett quote with ideas to bring it to life.
