Every year, children look forward to their birthday with eager anticipation. In turn, parents strive to make their children’s party dreams come true. The following birthday party theme ideas will help you create a fun and memorable party filled with entertainment, excitement, and enjoyment!
HOW TO CREATE FUN THEMES FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR KIDS
To think of a fun topic, start by thinking about your child’s favorite book, cartoon character, TV show, movie, animal, or sport. You can then build the party around that particular idea.
For example, the book The Little Engine That Could could be turned into a party on the train. The three little pigs could be turned into a farm party. Cartoon characters like Scooby Doo, Barney and Mickey Mouse all make wonderful theme parties. If your child loves superheroes, then Batman or Spiderman are great options for creating an action-packed, costume-filled themed party.
THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITATIONS FOR KIDS
To make fun invitations, you’ll want to make sure you make a pun that matches your theme, as well as make invitations interesting and creative.
For example, if you are having a pirate party, you can make your invitations look like treasure maps. Crumple up the brown paper bags to resemble parchment paper. Draw a map leading to your house, which would be marked with an “X.” Say something like “Ah, friend! Get ready to set sail on the seven seas. All you scoundrels, come join me. Chart your course for (direction) on (date). Don’t be late or you’ll walk the plank!”
For a bowling party, you could create an invitation in the shape of a bowling pin and say something like “I hope you can ‘waste’ the time to celebrate.”
For a Dora the Explorer party, you can say something like: “Hello Friends (boy) Friends (girl). Please join (birthday child’s name) for a party! Then add your party details. RSVP to (Name and phone) so that Swiper Fox doesn’t Don’t swipe your place.
Remember, your invitations are the first impression your guests will receive as to what your party is all about. Just get creative and the pre-party excitement is sure to start.
THEME DECORATIONS FOR CHILDREN’S BIRTHDAY PARTY
Once you’ve got your theme figured out, the ideas for decorations will start to flow. If you are going to use balloons and streamers, the theme will help dictate the appropriate colors. For example, a Batman-themed party lends itself to black and yellow, while a tea party might be lavender, pink, mint green, and cream. A princess party calls for a royal event wearing purple and gold.
If you’re looking to make a major statement, then you’ll want to think about turning the party room into that theme. For example, turn an entire room into an underwater adventure for Finding Nemo. Cover the ceiling with a net and fill it with blue and white balloons to create the clouds. Cover the walls with blue butcher paper for water. Attach several images of fish to the fishing line and hang them from the ceiling.
Let your creativity flow and voila, a themed party room will emerge.
THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY FOOD FOR KIDS
Once again, let creativity rule. Think about your topic and see if you come up with some ideas using a pun. Create a sign and place next to each food item to identify its new theme name. For example, serve peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches and Goldfish crackers for a Finding Nemo themed party.
At a superhero party, you could serve mini “superhero sandwiches.”
Conclusion – use a little creativity and imagination, have fun, think outside the box and you will have some fun kids birthday party theme ideas to satisfy everyone at the party.
