Kids birthday parties can be a real blast. Theme parties based around things that your kids love are always the most memorable. Here are 9 ideas for excellent theme parties.
The best kids birthday parties are the ones that are based around their favorite things. These "theme" parties are the ones your kids will never forget. It takes a bit of creativity and work on the part of the parents,
but it's well worth it when you see them having a blast. Here are 9 theme ideas.
Princess Party
Princess parties are all the rage with little girls these days. Lots of parents cringe at the thought of how much it's going to cost. But many party supply stores offer deals on princess dress rentals, so there's no need to worry.
Pirate Party
Here's an idea for the boys. You can buy costumes or make them yourself. You can even have the kids make them out of old clothes. Get some pirate songs for the kids to sing and pirate-related games. And at every pirate party, somebody has to walk the plank!
Superhero Party
Superhero costumes can also be made on a budget. Have the kids choose their favorites or they can make up their own. The party can also include a viewing of the birthday kid's favorite and this will give you some time to clean up.
Tiki Party
If you've got a nice backyard for it, have a tiki party. Get some tiki lamps and some tropical fruit. You can also work a Hawaiian theme into it with a little hula dancing.
Western Hoedown Party
You can get cowboy clothes at your nearest costume shop and get some square dancing going. This theme goes great with lots of common games played at kids birthday parties like pin the tail on the donkey and break the pinata.
American Idol Party
Do you have kids that like to sing and dance? Have everybody come up with his or her own routine and get the adults to be Randy, Paula and Simon. You can make your own golden ticket invitations on the computer and buy Hollywood-themed party supplies.
Survivor Party
This idea can get as creative as you want to go with it. It works best if you've got lots of space to play around with. Have the kids go through a bunch of challenges and see which one "survives."
Harry Potter Party
For kids who are really into this series, you can have a School of Witchcraft class for them. Make challenging games and riddles that they have to solve. This idea works great with scavenger hunts. Of course, there will have to be some magic tricks!
Sports Party
If your kids are into any kind of sports, this makes an excellent party theme. Aside from just playing the sport, create different stations and activities around the house or yard where they do training exercises, practice with Nintendo Wii and do other sports-related things. You should also stock up on sports stickers and prizes.
Whatever your kids are into, that's your theme. Once you've chosen something, there are lots of ways that you can plan kids birthday parties on a budget. The whole idea to having a fun party is to keep them moving and keep them entertained. Enlist as many adults and older siblings you can and have fun with it!
