Hosting a vision board brunch is one of my favorite ways to kick off the new year — or honestly, any season that calls for a reset. It combines intentional goal setting, creativity, and brunch (which we know makes everything better). Whether you’re planning a cozy gathering at home, hosting at a restaurant, or even doing a virtual vision board party, this guide will walk you through how to host a meaningful, inspiring, and fun event your guests will be talking about long after the last mimosa is poured.
What is a vision board?
A vision board is a visual representation of your goals, dreams, and intentions. It’s rooted in the idea of visualization and manifestation — putting what you want front and center so you’re reminded of it daily.
Vision boards can be:
-
Physical boards made with magazine clippings, photos, and words
-
Digital or virtual vision boards created online
-
Framed prints you keep on your desk or nightstand
I’ve tried just about every version, and my favorite is a simple 8×10 framed board. It’s intentional, easy to display, and actually gets seen — which is kind of the whole point. Creating a vision board forces you to slow down, get clear on your goals, and think about what you truly want more of (and less of) in your life.
That clarity is exactly why a vision board brunch party works so well. You’re not just setting goals — you’re doing it in community.
Why You Should Host a Vision Board Brunch
A vision board brunch isn’t just another get-together. It’s:
-
A meaningful way to start the year (or a new season)
-
An intentional alternative to loud parties or rushed resolutions
-
A chance to connect, reflect, and dream together
-
A built-in accountability moment with friends
When you pair goal setting with good food, cocktails, and conversation, the process feels less intimidating and way more empowering. It turns “new year, new me” energy into something sustainable and supportive.
Planning a Virtual Vision Board
You can host your vision board brunch:
-
At home for a cozy, relaxed vibe
-
At a restaurant to skip the cleanup and heavy lifting
-
Virtually using Zoom if friends are in different cities
I’ve done all three, but hosting at a restaurant can be a game changer. I hosted mine at a restaurant that had a private room.
A virtual vision board party could be where everyone creates their board ahead of time and you present them and talk about it as way to hold each other accountable.
How to Host a Virtual Vision Board Party
A virtual vision board party works surprisingly well, especially if everyone creates their board ahead of time. During the call, each person can:
-
Share their vision board
-
Talk through one or two goals
-
Choose an accountability check-in date
You can follow the same structure as an in-person brunch, just without the shared table (and maybe with everyone sipping mimosas at home).

Vision Board Party Supplies (Simple + Budget-Friendly)
You don’t need anything fancy. I usually grab supplies from the Dollar Tree and ask guests to bring a few items too.
Vision board supplies checklist:
-
Poster board or cardstock
-
Magazines
-
Scissors
-
Glue sticks or tape
The goal is to make the boards visually appealing, because they should live somewhere you’ll see them often.
Vision Board Brunch Ice Breakers (Don’t Skip This)
Creating a vision board can feel personal, especially if guests don’t know each other well. Start with an easy ice breaker to set the tone.
A favorite:
-
One thing you want to do more of this year
-
One thing you’re ready to leave behind
From there, encourage everyone to focus on one main goal and find images or words that represent how they want to feel — not just what they want to achieve. This is where the magic happens.
Vision Board Brunch Menu Ideas
Since brunch is kind of my love language, this part matters.
If you’re hosting at home, keep it simple but elevated:
-
Breakfast tostadas
-
Fresh fruit and Easy Cinnamon Rolls
And of course…
Don’t Forget the Cocktails 🍾
A mimosa bar is perfect for a vision board brunch:
-
Sparkling wine (ask guests to bring a bottle)
-
Orange juice, grapefruit juice, or peach nectar
-
Fresh fruit for garnish
- Or make one of these signature cocktails.
It keeps things celebratory and helps everyone relax into the experience.
Wrapping Up the Vision Board Brunch
Once everyone finishes their boards:
-
Take a group photo
-
Celebrate the start of a new chapter
-
Consider starting a group chat for quarterly check-ins
That accountability piece is what turns a fun brunch into something truly impactful.
Final Thoughts
Hosting a vision board brunch party is one of those experiences that feels fun in the moment — and meaningful long after. You leave inspired, supported, and clearer about what you’re working toward.
If you’ve created a vision board this year or hosted a vision board party, I’d love to hear about it in the comments. And if you’re thinking about hosting one? This is your sign to do it.
Cheers to intention, clarity, and brunch 🥂✨
