Forget the usual wine & cheese nights or the same old board games, if you’re looking to host an evening that’s meaningful, surprising and ridiculously fun, …it’s time to throw a tarot party your guests will never forget. Picture this: flickering candles, mysterious cards on the table, and that one friend gasping “Wait, how does it know?!” Intrigued? Here’s your step-by-step guide to hosting a night full of insight, cosmic vibes, and yes, lots of laughs.
Why host a Tarot Party?
Because it’s unexpected, soulful, and super entertaining. Whether you’re a full-on astrology lover or just tarot party curious, this kind of gathering brings people together like magic. Between deep chats, wild predictions and unexpected truths, you’ll create a vibe that’s both intimate and joyfully weird.
What You Need for an Epic Tarot Party
1. A tarot deck (obviously)
You don’t need to be a pro reader. Grab a classic Rider-Waite deck, a Tarot de Marseille, or even a quirky modern oracle deck. It’s more about sparking conversation than reading fate.
2. A mystical-but-chill atmosphere
Candles, fairy lights, incense, maybe some velvet or crystals if you’re feeling extra, the goal is to set a cozy, slightly enchanted mood. Bonus points for a playlist with Lana Del Rey, Florence + The Machine or dreamy lo-fi beats.
3. Open-minded guests
Invite friends who are curious and up for a little introspection (and possibly a lot of giggles). Even skeptics often get caught up in the magic of the moment.
4. Snacks & cosmic cocktails
Think charcuterie board meets witchy potions. Serve up your favorite bites alongside drinks with names like “Moon Juice” or “Mercury in Margarita.”
How to Run a Fun and Insightful Tarot Party Reading
Option 1: You’re the reader
Be the tarot hostess with the mostess and offer simple spreads:
One card: the current energy
Three cards: past, present, future
The “truth hurts” card: what I’m ignoring but should probably face
Option 2: Everyone reads for everyone
Let each guest pull cards for another person and freestyle the meaning. It’s chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly insightful.
Option 3: Bring in a pro
Want to go full glam? Hire a real tarot reader for the evening. Perfect for birthdays, bachelorette parties, or just upping the wow-factor.
Tips for a magical vibe
Keep it light: Tarot isn’t about predicting doom, it’s a conversation starter, a mirror, a fun tool for reflection.
Let people opt out: Some guests might just want to watch, and that’s totally fine.
Capture the moment: Snap pics, record voice notes, or jot down memorable readings to look back on later.
Mix it up: Alternate between readings, snack breaks, and spontaneous convos to keep the flow easy-breezy.
Bonus ideas to level up
Witchcore dress code: velvet, moons, glitter, you know the vibe.
DIY charm making: let guests craft their own lucky talismans before the readings.
Mystic movie night: end the evening with a screening of Practical Magic or The Craft.
