100+ Bullet Journal Monthly Themes Ideas + Free Printable!

Whether you’ve just started out or you’re a bujo pro, I have 100+ bullet journal monthly theme ideas to inspire you for the whole year!

Setting a theme for your monthly planner or journal is a lovely way to get creative and set a new tone for each month.

Those ideas might be seasonal, relate to particular events in your life or be a fun way to explore your creative side.

How to do a bullet journal monthly theme

  1. Decide on one theme for the whole month
  2. Decorate your pages with doodles, drawings and colours that relate to that theme
  3. You might even write some lists and set reminders and trackers particular to that theme too! E.g. bucket lists, must-haves, packing lists etc.
  4. Add quotes and phrases related to your theme

If you’re looking for bullet journal inspiration, this list of bullet journal month themes and ideas will mean you’re never short of new ones. You could plan your whole year in advance by setting a theme for each month now, or just take it month by month and see what inspires you.

If you have any bullet journal ideas monthly or weekly, let me know and I’ll add them to the list!


I’ve broken down these ideas by month so that I can add in some of the seasonal events that happen throughout the year. Remember though, this is YOUR journal and you can mix these up if you like. Christmas in July, anyone?

I’ve also added a few seasonal ones at the end as depending on where you are in the world, your seasons may fall at different times to mine.

So, if you’re looking for new bullet journal monthly spread and theme ideas, check out this list and make a note of your favourites.

You can also grab my free bullet journal printable with all of these ideas in one place so you can keep referring back to it in my Etsy shop.

I hope you enjoy learning how to make planner stickers or how to start a sticker business!

I’ve been making and selling stickers for journals and planners since 2017 and it’s become a wonderful and creative way to turn my hobby into a side hustle, then full-time online business.

Whether you want to make Cricut stickers, Silhouette stickers or you’re starting from complete scratch, you’re in the right place. Making planner stickers can be for you, or to start an Etsy sticker shop and sell stickers online and you don’t need any previous experience to get started.

Want to make planner stickers from home? Check out my sticker making courses, eBooks and other products here!
