Theme Parties

When you are deciding a theme party, the biggest question is “which theme”? And this can take some time to decide upon. It helps to know what occasion you’re planning for, like for your child’s birthday, you would choose a superhero theme and not a renaissance theme. There are many fabulous themes to choose from and trust us, you will have a winning party on your hands.

Themes for your Party:
For Children
Fairy Tale Parties
Children grow up with fairy tales and having a theme party based on their favourite fairy tale character would be a great hit with them. You can have a Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast theme party. Dressing up as pixies and gnomes will totally enthral the kids. A favourite with young girls is the Barbie Theme party. Dressing up as a Barbie in a fluffy pink dress is a dream of many young girls.

Super Hero Party
Which kid doesn’t have a super hero fantasy? From Superman to Spiderman, from The Hulk to the Fantastic Four, every child wants to be some superhero, so this theme party will definitely rock. You can have a few poster cut outs and design the invites and food around the theme.

Comic/Cartoon Characters
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and the new favourites, Shrek, The Incredibles or some more of the Looney Tunes are a great idea for a theme party. The all time favourite would have to be Tom and Jerry. So, why not plan accordingly and let them have a “Looney time”?

Jungle book Party
Animal antics are some things your boisterous child will be able to associate with, so if you want to go back to the jungle ways, a Jungle Book party is a great idea. Dressing up as different animals can be very entertaining and the children will enjoy the food if you cut them out in animal patterns or have animal based pastries and sandwiches.

For Adults (aka hidden child)
Eras Party
The 20s, 50s, 80s, etc, are a fun party theme. You can dress in flapper dresses for your 20s theme party or psychedelic flower power clothes for a 60s theme. You can do a little research and plan your food accordingly. Decorations can also be in the same strain and you should have an interesting party on hand. You will need many party supplies, so you could try Parties in Packages, an online party store. For more info, click www.partiesinpackages.com.au.

Masquerade Party
Masquerade parties are very famous, as they let you come as you want and the only extra thing you have to do is get a really interesting mask to cover your face. It is a lot of fun, as you don’t know who is behind the mask and searching for your friends can become an enjoyable task.

Hollywood Theme Party
Everyone wants to be a STAR and what better way to do this than to have a Hollywood Theme party? You can plan your music according to famous movie soundtracks. Hollywood movies can be very inspiring and there have been many famous characters, like Don Corleone, Star Wars characters, James Bond, etc. So go ahead and choose your favourite movie star and emulate him for that great theme party.

Superhero Party
Who said theme parties are only for children? Everyone needs to let their inner child out and, as such, superhero parties are for adults, too. You can come as Superman if you dare to wear your underwear on the outside or you can be the suave Batman. Everyone has their favourite superhero, so why not be him/her for one day and have fun?

Hawaiian Party
Come summer and Luaus are a great party idea. Everyone loves a great Hawaiian party, especially when it gets hot, that’s when everyone likes a good poolside party. You can get colourful leis and welcome your guests with a cool drink and decorate the area with palm tree cut-outs. Your menu can include a majority of seafood and get some Hawaiian music to set the tone of the party.

Host a 50th Birthday Party

Host a 50th Birthday Party
The first fifty years are just for practice and 50th Birthday Party Games can be a testimonial to the life lessons learned thus far. Guessing games based on trivia from the guest of honor's lifetime would be a perfect way to highlight these lessons learned along the way. This will be a very memorable day so prepare for the best party ever.

When you've reached that 50th birthday you may find yourself wondering where all the time went to. Just yesterday you were twenty-five and living large, now you feel a little tired. Make up for lost time with a big 50th birthday party. The half century mark shouldn't be a time to sit back, but instead to get up and move around.

Selecting the right party supplies for this occasion can be fun, many themes to choose from. Select a theme that contains matching party tableware and party decorations. Depending on the number of guest invited to this celebration you may need to stock up on party supplies now. Usually the plates and cups come 8 per package and napkins come 16 per pack.

Decorate with exciting colors that the guest of honor likes Add some cool decorations like table centerpieces or huge wall banner and matching themed paper party goods Keep things fun and the food scrumptious so that the 50th birthday party sends the message that the best is yet to come in life.

A stand up cocktail party can provide the elegance some prefer for this big event. It's easy to purchase plenty of 50th birthday party supplies and napkins for guests to use at the event. You can even find some light up wine and champagne glasses to add a little glow to your event. Hanging dangles from the ceiling will reflect the lights in the room.

Guests sometimes surprise the soon-to-be fifty year old with their own surprise party. This can be intended to poke light fun at the guest of honor's Over the Hill status. A birthday cake shaped like a tombstone or coffin can bring some ironic giggles. Gag gifts such as an old age care basket filled with Adult diapers, Aspercream, and reading glasses with really thick lenses will get lots of laughs from the guests and hopefully the receiver. Black and gray colored decorations can add to the theme. Get black streamers to hang from the ceiling. And a banner with a funny Over the Hill saying to hang above the buffet table.

Party Planning
For peace of mind, begin planning your fairy birthday two months in advance. This will allow you time to gather all the supplies that you need, including fairy party decorations, activities, gifts, and menu items. Planning ahead also gives your guests time to RSVP and make travel plans, if needed. Don't panic if you find yourself short on time; you can still plan a great party! Planning ahead simply reduces the risk of conflicts with guests' plans and may increase your party's attendance

Invitations
Well, in reality, invites give the guests a sample of what they're in for; and in this case, it's a Fairytale good time, so the invitation have got to be pretty.No problem there! Your wishes are granted with these nice diecut folded invites with nice lavendar envelopes. Add a special touch by decorating them with stickers, ribbon & even glitter.

What You'll Need
If you plan to use paper tableware and fairy party supplies our Suggested Party Supply List may be quite helpful. Please note that you may not need everything on the list; it is intended only as a guide.

For this party, think white, pink, and lavender as your main color scheme. Simple white balloons and pretty pastel streamers work perfectly. For goodie bags, purchase fairy party favors such as pretend makeup, magic fairy wands, fairy stickers, glitter nail polish, fake pearls, and candies. Place all of these items inside clear or printed cellophane bags, and tie the bags closed with pretty, pastel-colored ribbons. Dont Forget to provide all the children with party hats, crowns, or headbands. Kids love blowouts, so stock up!!

Add some nice fairytale decorations to your party space. These decorations are very popular for a birthday party: table honeycomb decorations, Marabou garland, fancy hanging cutouts, and also Happy Birthday Party Fringe that is ideal for doorways and walls

Fun Fairy Birthday Ideas
Form a canopy over the party table using pink and lavender streamers. The streamers should cascade from a bow in the middle (attached to the chandelier or the ceiling) out to the sides of the room. Then, sprinkle glitter on the table, forming a line of fairy tracks that lead up to the fairy birthday cake.You can also sprinkle the cake with edible glitter and top it with a fairy figure, a fairy candle,or any other fairy birthday favors to complete the effect.

Tie clusters of shimmery pink, lavender, white, and/or silver balloons to the backs of chairs, near the tea table, or in other spots throughout the party area. Weight some of the balloons with star-shaped or princess crown balloon weights. You can also make your own weights by cutting star shapes out of cardboard, spray painting them white, and rolling them in glitter while the paint is still wet.

Fill the party area with huge tissue paper flowers made using our Tissue Flowers activity instructions. Then, lay a cardboard drawbridge at the door for the children to walk over as they enter the party area. You can also cut large tree, toadstool, and castle shapes out of cardboard, paint them, and then hang them on the walls of the party area. Or, for ease, purchase fairy party decorations online.

Create fun party photos with one of the Photo Opportunity Banners (cord included for easy hanging!)

How To Plan a Girl Birthday Party?

If your daughter is due a birthday soon, have you thought about her party? Throwing the perfect Girl Birthday Party can be somewhat overwhelming, after all, you want your little angel to have a memorable day. But what if you have no sense of where to begin. Birthday party planning need not be a nightmare or a stressful period. Do not forget that the birthday party planning can be part of the excitement and fun. Parents are notoriously competitive and none more so when it comes to throwing a birthday party for their kids. Let us not forget however, that this is all about someone else and not you. If you are working on a tight budget, as many of us are, then do not worry as the perfect Girl Birthday Party need not break the bank. With some imagination and a little bit of arts and craft you can produce a fabulous party for very little money that your little birthday girl will love.

The simpliest way to organise a girl birthday party is to have a themed party. The benefit of a theme is that you can simply apply the theme to each step of the birthday party planning. Theme the invitations, venue, party food, games and right through to the party bags and not forgetting the thankyou cards.

Choosing A Theme

There lot are lots of themes one can choose, including some "out of the box" and branded themes you can get at the supermarket and party shop. I find that the best approach is to think about what toys, hobbies or music the girl in question is into. Does she like Princesses (which little girl does not), Pampering, makeup, High School Musical, American Idol, Ice Skating, Fairies and so on? The list can be endless. Whatever the theme, the principle process is the same, and you apply the theme to each stage.

Birthday Party Planning

Let us look at one of the most popular themes for a girls birthday party, the Princess Party. As we know, most little girls love to be pampered and play the part of a princess (however hard we may try to break these stereotypes!). Simply apply the theme to the party planning process stage by stage.

Stage 1 - The Invitations

You can either make the invites yourself or have them made for you. I think making them, and getting the birthday girl involved helps build excitement for the event. Since it is a Princess theme, why not make it a Royal invite to a Princess Ball. Imagine it is the sort of invite a princess in a fairytale might receive. Use appropriate fairy tale language, for example

"You are cordially invited to the Royal Birthday Party of Princess {name}, The Theme will be Princesses, so all Princesses and Princes welcome, please come in your best Princess, Knight or Princes outfit (if including boys)."

Make the invite feel royal, maybe adding pictures of fairytale princesses (most of these will probably be Disney!) and add sparkles. Maybe placing the invite in an envelope and adding glitter. Or how about a royal scroll, tided with a ribbon. Let your imagination run wild, and look at fairytale books or Disney films for ideas.

Stage 2 - Theme the venue

Whether you are having the party in your home, or at a hired venue, you should dress the venue accordingly. Use Princess colours (pink, lavender) and maybe make little thrones by sticking cardboard throne shapes, painted gold, to the chairs. Cut out turret shapes from cardboard and paint and add to the walls or front door, to give a castle like feel. Cover the tables in pretty pink table clothes and sprinkle with candies and sparkles. Add balloons and ribbons, thus creating a really special royal feel.

Stage 3 - Food

A Princess Party deservues Royal food. So how about Princess Pizza, or cut out Tiara cookie shapes. Have a birthday cake made on the Princess theme. You can buy a lot of these in a castle or shape of a princess, or with a princess picture on it.  Be imaginative, and think how you can apply the chosen theme to every aspect of the food and drink.

Stage 4 - Games

How about a game of Cinderella. Get a high heeled show (preferably from a dressing up box or an old one you do not want), and cover in sparkles or spray silver. Voila! A glass slipper. Now take another old shoe. The game is a bit like pass the parcel, in that the girls all sit around in a circle, and while the music is playing they pass the "glass" slipper around. When the music stops (or yo can ring a bell) then it is "midnight" and the girl holding the glass slipper has to swap it with the old shoe and sit in the middle of the circle". She now has charge of the bell. They all take it in turns passing the glass slipper around. At the end of the game, everyone gets a little "royal" prize. Or just apply the theme to traditional party games like musical statues, or pass-the-parcel. For instance pin the wings on the dragon instead of Tale On The Dragon, Pass the poison apple, an adaptation of pass the shoe.

Stage 5 - Activities

How about some art and craft activities, making royal picture frames, with sparkles and glitter, then take photographs of each little princess guest, so they can add it to their frame, as a souvenir.

Stage 6 - Party Bags

Party Bags or Favour Bags, can be made to feel like a special royal gift. With "princess" items and candy added accordingly. Again, do not just put the little gifts in a normal bag. decorate the bag, or find little boxes, and make them sparkle or feel special by decorating with ribbons and glitter.

The above are just some of the key stages of birthday party planning that provide you an opportunity to theme. Remember, it is not about the expenditure, it is about the imagination, and if you are handy with the old arts and crafts, you can make a girl birthday party something to remember. With my own "little princess" I find I am accompanying her to many birthday parties, and am constantly thinking of themes and ideas. For great ideas check girl birthday party ideas.
