Unique Birthday Party Themes for Kids
You want your child to have a birthday party that she and her guests will enjoy. A party that is so unique, it leaves the children and parents anticipating what you will do to top the party the following year. Allow your child to tell you want he wants, and then use your creativity to make it unique. Does this Spark an idea?
Dress-Up Parties
If your daughter and her friends enjoy playing dress-up, throw a glamorous birthday party the kids can enjoy. Use the invitations to set the tone for the fashion theme. For the invitation, use clothing images and pictures to make it look like the cover of a magazine, then attach or staple a piece of paper with the party time, location and other specifics on the other side. Set the party up like the girls on going to a fashion show, complete with a red carpet entrance. As each child arrives, take her picture just like paparazzi would of celebrities entering a star-studded celebration. Star interviews, photo shoots, model fittings, makeup and hair, manicure and pedicures and the fashion show are some of the activities you can plan for the girls to enjoy while at the party.
Fear Factor Party
If you have a crowd of energetic children that love challenges, use a "Fear Factor" theme for your child's birthday party. You can find photos from the television show online and download them to use as the cover of your child's party invitation. Use a clever saying, such as "If fear is not a factor, join us if you dare!" Decorate your backyard or living room with yellow and black decorations, to match the show's logo. Use plastic rats, cobwebs, flies, black lights and other décor for atmosphere. As the children enter the house or backyard, have the theme music from the show playing. Some games for the children to play include eating challenges, tests of endurance and "is it gross or not." Give gift bags with chocolate-covered insects, skull key chains, gummy eyeballs, glow-in-the-dark items and other fun things the guests can take home.
Movie Theme Party
For movie-loving kids, throw the ultimate movie party. At finestationary.com, there are movie tickets invitations available. This site allows you to print out the blank invitations on your computer, or personalize the invites with your child's favorite film, the date of party and any other useful information pertaining to the event. As for decorations, order or make a personalized banner on your computer that says, "Now Showing," along with the birthday boy's name. Use pictures from magazines or images from the movie you choose to use as your son's movie theme and hang them in around the house. Have the children play movie charades and classic movie trivia and burst a popcorn piñata. Of course, you want to show the film that is the theme for the party. For gift favors, pass out movie passes, personalized movie mint tins and other movie-themed favors.
