When your child has a birthday, it can be so much fun! The cake, the gifts, the guests… the party! But if you don’t plan ahead, party planning could overwhelm you. With these helpful kids’ birthday party ideas, we try to make it a little easier for you. With proper planning, you can throw a star-quality birthday party for your little celebrity.
A popular kids birthday party idea today is to throw a party around your child’s favorite TV show. Using Sesame Street or Barney and Friends as a guide, you can plan a party your child will love. With a Teletubbies cake and cardboard cutouts of the characters, your little one will enjoy turning three years old. Or buy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles platters, pizza and green punch to thrill your older child. You can even hire someone to dress up as characters from the show!
A great idea for a children’s birthday party is a pirate-themed party. Pirates are very popular these days thanks to pirate-themed movies and TV shows. A cake in the shape of a pirate ship will thrill the buccaneers at your party. Swedish fish and fish shaped sandwiches are just a couple of fun foods you can have to go along with the theme. And a delicious treasure hunt that ends in chocolate gold coins is a great pirate-themed birthday party activity.
Another fun kids’ birthday party idea is a venue-themed party. A fun island party can be planned using Tiki torches, Hawaiian punch cups with umbrellas, and shell necklaces. Or plan a fun Mexican party with tacos, a piñata, and paper hats. A French or Italian party can also be a lot of fun. Serve typical food from the region and find music and decorations that represent the culture.
The most important thing when choosing a children’s birthday party idea or theme is to take into account the personality of the child. Try not to get too caught up in making it gender specific or flashy. If the child is old enough, consider including him in the schedule. As long as your child enjoys the party, it will be a huge hit!
