"I love your site. You make the kids party themes seem so easy"

Having a party theme makes the party planning easier however you don't have to have a party theme. I've given many successful parties whereby I just made sure that there were some decorations, food and games to play. And everyone was very happy.

However if you do want a theme I know it can be so difficult to choose as the choice out there is just HUGE. How to Choose the Right Kids Party Theme.

For each of my children's party themes below I have made a party plan with ideas for invitations, costumes, decorations, food, party games and activities. The idea is to save you time and to make that party a blast. Have fun :)

Which party theme should you choose?

Unless it's to be a surprise or the party lends itself to an obvious theme e.g. Halloween, then let your child help choose the party theme. Think of what they like doing, characters they like, favorite activities.....

What are their favorite characters?

Do they like dressing up – is it fantasy or real life characters?

What are their favorite characters – imaginary, cartoon or real?

Do they like face painting or wearing masks?

What are their favorite activities?

Do they enjoy getting messy with mud, water or paints?

Do they enjoy cooking and crafts and making things?

Do they have a hobby that could involve a group such as Lego building or collecting stickers?

Would they be happier inside or outdoors (I hope the sun shines where you are!)

What are their favorite games?

Do they like physical action or quiet games, sitting around in circle?

Do they like singing and dancing?

Do they like to make up their own rules and games?

Remember though, you don't have to have a full party theme but you can just use bits of their favorite activities, toys and food and still create a great party.

Did you know:…… Pokemon was the favorite party theme in 2003 for the under 10 year old's. Pokemon originated in Japan in 1996 and was designed by Nintendo. The original term for Pokemon was "Poketto Monstaa", the Japanese term for Pocket Monster. The Japanese then shortened it to "Pokemon". A Japanese game designer named Satoshi Tajiri invented Pokemon based on childhood memories of collecting bugs in jars and wishing he could make them fight like the monsters in his favorite science fiction movies. The game was so intricate that it took Tajiri six years to develop the Pokemon game. Once released, the rest is history.
