Birthday parties should be all about having fun and playing games, and the planning shouldn’t leave you feeling frustrated or stressed out.
To give you a helping hand, here are five themes and parties that you can host for your little one and that they are sure to love.
Hello Kitty theme
Rather than going overboard hanging giant posters of Hello Kitty all over the walls, simply use the colour scheme and have a few small pink and white balloons around the house. You can serve Hello Kitty shaped biscuits, pink lemonade, strawberries and marshmallows to keep with the pink and red Hello Kitty colour and keep your guests entertained by playing traditional party games.
Movie marathon
For an older child, a movie marathon might be the way to go. This is a great idea if you only have a small amount of space or want to keep the cost to a minimum. Seeing as it’s a party why not order in pizza or cook your own in the oven. Serve crisps and fizzy drink and have at least three movies ready to watch. Make the living room like a cinema by closing the curtains, dimming the lights and have kids sit on cushions on the floor.
Zoo party
This is a really good idea if your little one is a fan of animals. Decorate the house with signs that you might find in the zoo, and have each room be the home of different types of animals. Use your child’s teddies and have all your guests dress up as their favourite zoo animal.
Superhero party
Have a face painting section, a mask designing section and a cape creating section and let the kids go wild making up their own superhero. Serve cake pops, a specially made superhero cake, pizza and sausage rolls.
Sports party
If your little one is a sports fan why not have a sports themed party. You will need to take this party outside though and have a number of games ready to play. Have a basketball section, a football section, a running area in your garden and let the kid have fun. You will need to serve lots of water and juice to keep them hydrated and plenty of sandwiches and fruit.
