Party Themes
If you are in a rush trying to get your little one to pick a theme for his or her birthday, then I know how you feel. I have been there time and time again with my kids and finally I learned exactly what I was doing wrong. You see, the thing is that I was asking my kids what theme they wanted without giving them any help or direction. So they would in turn pick a theme and then the next day change their mind. That was so not working. This year I took a whole new approach, and I must say, so far so good. What we are now doing that makes my life a heck of a lot easier and still gives my kids the chance to choose for themselves is I pick three options for them and from those three choices, they choose the theme. There are always those fool-proof options of party themes that any kid can agree to, so here is a list of the ones that I generally keep on the party idea list and maybe you should too. Most of these party ideas are fun for boys and girls, except I would leave the princess theme for a girls only celebration.
Pirates – What kid doesn’t love a good pirate tale? Pirates are fun. They have great outfits, peg legs, and even eye patches. Plus, the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean movies have stirred even more pirating interest, and I know my kids are big fans of pirates overall. My son had a pirate theme for his past birthday and we did a sea monster cake. All the kids loved it.
Dinosaurs – Big extinct creatures appeal to my kids, even my two girls, for some reason. So the dinosaur themed party has stuck on the top party theme list for quite sometime. All kids can really have fun with this for sure.
Princess – Having two girls, the princess theme seems to never get old. Princess tea parties, princess craft time, princess everything. This one is always a hit and it has become second nature for me to throw a princess themed party.
What are some of the themes that you and your kids love? Let us know!
