Birthday Party Themes

Birthday party themes can take a lot of work out of planning a birthday party. Choosing a theme makes decorating, games, and even the food much easier to pull together.

From pirates to princesses and many more in between, we’ve put together themes that will create a wonderland for your child. They can be transported back to prehistoric times with a Dino Party, transformed into royalty as a Princess or a Queen, or participate in the Winter Olympic Games. Each theme has food ideas and game suggestions so you don’t have to plan out anything except a timeline for putting on a fabulous party for your birthday child.

When choosing a birthday party theme, involve your child. Watch for the clues that say “you’re the best mom ever!” when you suggest a theme (like their eyes lighting up at the thought of being a swashbuckling pirate). A theme can be tailored to your budget with incredible results no matter how much you spend.

What ever birthday party theme you choose, make sure to take lots of pictures and most of all have fun! That saying about “they grow up so fast” is true. Birthday parties are the milestones to enjoy along the way.

Planning a birthday party for your child isn’t easy but once you have a theme, everything can fall into place. A theme can help you plan your decorations, the activities you want at your party and even the food you want to serve.

Birthday Themes

If you think a theme party can work well for you, the first thing you will want to think about is what kind of theme your child will enjoy. Teens might like a concert or a spa theme. Tweens might think Harry Potter is pretty cool. Younger kids might like a magic or construction theme. Karate themed parties can be adapted for kids of all ages.

Now that you have a theme in mind, the details of your party will begin to fall into place. You can use your themes to base activities on, as well as your decorations and so on.

Of course, we realize that all this will still take a lot of work. That’s why Moms Who Think provides our readers with several ideas that make for perfect themed birthday parties. We have articles written on a variety of themes and each goes into detail on what you can do to bring your theme to life including how to decorate, what food to serve and which activities your guests might enjoy.

A child’s birthday party has to be perfect but getting the right theme will give you a great base to build on. Start by thinking about what your child enjoys and work from there to create a party your guests will remember forever.
