1. Backyard Bohemian Scene
The backyard parties are always the easiest ones to plan and hold. And, if you are throwing your dinner party in your backyard, creating a bohemian scene is a perfect way to ensure plenty of ambiance and aesthetics at your party.
Consider having plenty of flowers at your party space; fill up every corner, table, door, and tree with vintage flowers that'll add vibrancy to your party decor. Next, create beautiful table centerpieces with flowers. Next, add textiles like rugs, cushions, and blankets to add a unique touch. Finally, beautify your table with colorful plastic party plates and fancy plastic charger plates.
From where to get plenty of flowers for your party? If you have blooms in the backyard, try plucking them and incorporating them into the party decor before the fall fades them away. Or, you can have the flowers from the nearby parks, but make sure it's not prohibited to pluck flowers in your area.
If the first two options aren't applicable in your case, the ultimate place to get the flowers is the farmers' market, but you'll have to pay for them. The plus point is; that you can choose from a wide variety.
2. Movies & Plays
Everyone has a favorite movie or a web series, so why not throw a party around it? It's a next-level idea that everyone will enjoy if you have friends who are into movies & plays.
Pick up a movie that everyone would love, and decorate your party around it. For instance, a famous Harry Potter-like environment at the party would be an excellent idea. Ask the guests to dress like the movie characters they like. Then, you can decorate the scene around the party.
Such as filling up the party space with the smoky effect creates a spooky scene. Also, if you can have a party food menu from the movies, all you need is a google search to start planning yours.

Don't want to cook big meals for the party, but still want to have a fun party? A soup party is the party idea for you to have an effortless dinner party without big meals but still having to fill up your guests' tommies.

Play the era's music to make things a little nostalgic for the guests if they can relate to it. It can be a great conversation starter, too, for your guests. Your guests are most likely to ask you about it at the moment of sitting at the table. So you can tell them about it, and everyone can talk about it.
8. Breakfast for Dinner
