Exciting Ramadan iftar theme options
To make your iftar event even more memorable, selecting a theme can be a fun way to create a more lively and enjoyable atmosphere.
With the right theme, togetherness will feel warmer, and more meaningful, and leave beautiful memories for everyone in attendance.
Here are some iftar theme ideas that you can use as references and customize according to your preferences.
Traditional iftar theme with a classic touch
If you want to bring a warm nostalgic feel, a traditional theme can be a great choice. Decorations with classic elements such as batik-patterned tablecloths and wooden dining utensils will highlight the vintage theme.
For serving food, set up a wooden dining table that adds a classic yet elegant touch. To enhance the ambience, use a dimly lit hanging lamp reminiscent of old times.
What about the dress code? Try a 90s-style fashion look or wear simple traditional Indonesian attire such as kebaya.
Modern iftar theme for a more enjoyable gathering
An iftar gathering with a modern and trendy concept can offer a more relaxed and enjoyable breaking-fast experience. This theme is perfect for gatherings with colleagues or family members who prefer a casual yet festive setting.
If you are unsure about what concept to choose, a garden party or outdoor gathering theme is ideal for creating a closer sense of togetherness.
Welcoming guests in a way that suits their comfort will surely make them feel at home. Use IKEA’s minimalist terrace chairs, which are easy to mix and match for various occasions.
As decorative elements, string LED lights can be hung around the patio or plants. Their soft glow will add a warm aesthetic touch.

Iftar theme for organizations and communities
For an organizational iftar, especially in an office setting with colleagues, arranging activities that strengthen teamwork is essential. Choosing a long dining table that facilitates interaction can also help create a more friendly atmosphere.
So, what theme suits students best? A student-oriented iftar event typically has a more flexible and relaxed concept.
This casual theme can be enhanced by using foldable tables and chairs. Designed specifically for small or limited spaces, these items are easy to store without taking up too much room.
Iftar theme with a charity and sharing concept
While waiting for sunset, sharing with those in need can be a meaningful idea to spend time before breaking fast together. Create a serene and warm ambience with IKEA’s tablecloths as decorative elements.
The food served should also be presented neatly and attractively to show respect to the guests. Use soft-coloured serving plates to bring an elegant, welcoming, yet simple atmosphere.
Soft colours such as white, cream, or pastels can also be used for the dress code and decorative elements in the venue.
