Children are always so excited about their birthday and have lots of expectations about their day. We know how much you want to give them the perfect day with a spectacular party.
That’s why we’ve come up with stellar birthday party ideas that your child will enjoy with their friends. From slumber parties to adventurous treasure hunts, we will guide you through all the different themes you can pick.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at our top 12 ideas for a children’s birthday party.
Arranging parties may not be easy but it’s full of creative challenges that are fun to grapple with. The theme, decor, children’s entertainment, etc., all require a good deal of thought. Here are some ideas you can work with.
Pool parties are fun at any age and they never go out of fashion. You can centre your pool party on a Hawaiian theme with bright colours all around. Keep a drink station with different Hawaiian punches.
Arrange for loud music and a lot of pool floaties with interesting shapes and characters for the children to play around with. You also need to have enough pool chairs to ensure enough seating space.
As a mother of a younger child, more thought goes into arranging birthday parties as it can help your child’s social life. Thankfully, every kindergartner loves superheroes, and this one is a great idea for children under the age of six.
You’ll find plenty of inspiring decor pieces in this theme at your local stores. You can mix and match elements from different superheroes, stick to one universe or even just pick one superhero.
Come up with party games that match your theme. You can make a heavy Thor’s hammer and ask your little guests to pick it up to win party treats. Another great idea is setting up a rescue mission.
Having rabbits, ponies, miniature donkeys, goats, pigs, puppies, and more at your child’s birthday party sounds amazing, right? If your child is an animal lover, a petting zoo party is a no-brainer.
Setting up the zoo in your backyard will be entirely taken care of by the petting zoo company. Even adults will enjoy this theme. It’s a lot of fun interacting and playing with these animals.
Moreover, it will cultivate a sense of empathy in your child towards the different creatures. It’s a way to build up kindness in children, especially if they don’t have pets at home.
We all remember the first sleepover we had at a friend’s house. It’s exciting and creates memories of a lifetime. Having so many children stay overnight may seem like a big responsibility, but you have to be a host of a sleepover at some point.
Have plenty of snacks in store. Set up an outdoor movie viewing experience to kick things up a notch. As another option, you can arrange for a spa night by grabbing some spa supplies.
A princess high tea party is an elegant garden party idea that children will love. You have to dress up your garden in beautiful pastel shades. For decoration, you can use floral decoration or just get some balloons and drapes.
Most importantly, the birthday girl needs a princess outfit that will make her the star of the party. With a beautiful china tea set with various hot brewing, pastries, and desserts, the princesses will be really pleased for sure.
For those who love making up games, this party idea is the best. You’ll have lots of fun making the arrangements and planning the events.
With a range of games the children can play and win prizes, all your guests will be engaged throughout. You can think of mind games, strength or speed games, indoor or outdoor games, etc., to make sure everyone has a shot at winning something.
Shooting games, obstacle courses, races, puzzles, and quizzes are a lot of fun. Whoever wins the most games at the end should get a bigger prize to turn the games into a tournament of sorts.
If you don’t want to go through the trouble of decorating, making the food and setting up everything for a party, you can rent a bowling alley.
There are many bowling alleys that will take over all aspects of the party, including the food and even cake. All you will do is show up with the guests and the birthday boy or girl.
With unlimited bowling and arcade games, it’s meant to be a fun-filled night to remember.
If your child appreciates art and the beauty of creation, a birthday party at a pottery studio will be a dream. You can take a large party of up to 30 at many studios and they’ll take over the itinerary for the day. Guests usually get a selection of items to paint and they also get to keep what they painted. You can bring snacks and a meal to feed your guests between the painting sessions. Of course, that’s when you cut the cake.
It’s a relatively hassle-free birthday idea that children and adults can both enjoy. You don’t even have to worry about party favours.
Party characters are a very popular choice for children’s birthday parties because of their interactive aspects. If your child is a fan of a children’s movie character, you can hire an impersonator for that character.
These impersonators copy the character’s voice, look, posture, and mannerisms to really embody the spirit. Younger children will most probably think it’s real.
Talking to their favourite character, clicking pictures, and sharing nice memories with them can make for a pretty great birthday party.
Bouncy houses may be cheesy, but you have to have a bouncy house party at least once. We’re not talking about any old bouncy house, but a generous water slide for children to splash around in all afternoon.
Warn everyone to bring bathing suits. Arrange for drink stands, an outdoor game station, and enough snacks to keep everyone fed. Use colourful outdoor decor to set a festive vibe.
Consider arranging for barbeque and get the grill going for some steaming hot dogs and sliders. You can go for fancier food options by grilling honey-glazed chicken, steak kebabs, Mexican corn, etc.
There are so many options for children's birthday party ideas. You can come to a decision by considering budgetary restraints, how much time and effort is there to spend, and what your child and their friend may like.
Once you are sure what you want, start preparing. First, come up with a checklist and follow it step-by-step to keep yourself anxiety-free.
We know how much of a hassle it is to deal with vendors and make all the arrangements. But we have the entertainment side covered for you. At UK Live Entertainment, you can book party impersonators, musicians and other entertainers.
