How to Plan a Themed Birthday Party

By the time you finish reading this, you'll be on your way to organizing and planning a themed party for you little kid. Trust me on this.
The first step in using a theme for a birthday party is to choose the theme. In some cases it may be simple to choose a theme because you can base it upon your child's interests. For example, if there is a certain cartoon character your child loves then use that as a theme.

I am sure some of you will not be able to think of themes. Well read on. You can use a simple theme like a circus theme. Another theme you can use is you can use your child's age. For example if you child is four years old, you can revolve the party around the number 4.

Once you have chosen the theme you can then begin applying your theme to the party planning.

The next thing you need to do is to buy supplies for your child's birthday party. You may not know what to get, so I am here to tell you. The main idea of having a theme for a birthday is to keep the whole idea of the party focused therefore; you should get supplies that are related to the theme.

You may think that in order to get the supplies that is related to the theme, you need to spend a lot of money. But let me tell you this; you are wrong. I am here to give you tips on how you can save moeny. Lets take a Barbie theme for example. If you buy all the stuff from Barbie it will cost a bomb. What you can do is that you can use the color pink instead.

You will want to choose some main themed items, like the invitations, goodie bags and a few dcor items, like the table cloth and balloons. However, as mentioned you can save costs by buying some color coordinating items instead, so you can buy one bag of themed balloons and one bag of colored balloons so you have a lot of balloons, but for far less cost.

Activities can be related to the theme. In some cases this makes planning activities very easy. If you have a circus theme, for example, you can hire a clown, play games like bean bag toss and pin the tail on the donkey. It is okay, though, if not all your activities match your theme.

Food and birthday cake are essential in a party. I am sure your child and his friends will enjoy themselves seeing that the cake is related to the theme. However, it is not necessary that all food items should match.

It can be very fun to come up with ideas about how to incorporate a theme into the different aspects of a birthday party. It is all about being creative. Once you choose your theme you should sit and brainstorm a bit about everything you can do with your theme.

Having a theme for a birthday party will help you be able to choose your supplies, activities and foods easily. You can follow the theme as much or as little as you like. There really are no rules, except that you should have fun with your theme and be creative.
