Kids Birthday Party Theme Ideas

Deciding on a party theme can be one of the hardest parts of planning a party! Once that is decided, the ball can officially begin rolling, but until then you may find yourself stuck! We're here to help! We've come up with an EXTENSIVE list of party ideas with a little help from you guys over on Instagram!  

My Top Tips:

1. Remember, you don't have to narrow your theme to a traditional theme! Some of the cutest party ideas are the unique ones catered to your honoree! Do they LOVE trips to Target? Throw a Target-themed bash complete with red and white bullseye cupcakes! Use those creative juices and think outside the box!

2. Consider using the same theme as their bedroom or nursery to save on decor! 

3. For older kids, consider creating a theme around an activity/craft. You'll want to come up with some form of entertainment such as cookie decorating, manis/pedis.

4. Does their birthday fall around a holiday? You can usually find all kinds of cute party decor everywhere to fit the theme! Think Cocoa Christmas Party, or pumpkin decorating party!
