Round-Up: Birthday Party Themes

Whether old or young, everyone loves a good party. Trying to plan the perfect one, however, is no piece of cake! Luckily, as I discovered while planning a birthday celebration for my son, picking a theme is an easy way to get creative ideas flowing for favors, food and décor. While his high-flying themed birthday party was a success, I now have a lot to live up to! I decided to poke around the Internet and share some other great birthday party ideas I’ve found to keep the creative juices flowing!
And be on the lookout for a post from me soon on my son’s latest birthday extravaganza!!
Baby’s First Birthday: Everything from the painfully sleepless nights to watching the first crawl should be celebrated – if only because you survived it all. Parenting.com has some great tips for how to commemorate this milestone while focusing on what’s really important: family, friends and memories. ThoughtfullySimple.com features “In a Flash!” an adorable theme that really describes how quickly that first year flies by.
Children’s Parties: Keeping a large group of kids’ attention for an afternoon can be a daunting task, to say the least. MultitaskingMommy.com has a number of great ideas for themed parties that can keep everyone busy and having fun. Here you can find her post about the trials and tribulations that come with hosting a party at home and her adorable pirate birthday party for her four-year-old son. And the AmazingMoms.combirthday party ideas section has over 150 theme ideas for even the pickiest of your brood.
“Golden” 50th: Finding a way to celebrate an adult’s birthday can be a bit more difficult – not everyone wants to be reminded that they are “over the hill!” PartyPlanningDIY.com has five fun ideas to celebrate that golden 50th birthday, whether you plan on going all out or want to make it more of a low key affair. Evite.com (a site known more for their fun online invitations than in-person events) also has innovative venue or theme suggestions that can make the birthday less about the passing of time and more about passing some wine – which also only gets better with age!
