A birthday party for kids is a big deal, especially to parents. They want their kids to enjoy the party so much. Parents want to share their input during the planning stage, and they want a big role in the execution part.

As the theme party is a big deal, the planners should make it a blast.

Theme birthdays are the trickiest to pull off. The theme should be clear to all the guests early on, so that they can start planning for their outfit. This means you should have a backup plan just in case someone comes in under dressed. Here are more things that you need to remember if you’re planning a theme birthday party for kids.

1. Confer With the Celebrant and the Parents

Every guest that attends must be able to recognize the theme. Don’t go for old cartoon characters that were popular a decade ago. Most of all, the celebrant must be able to relate to the theme, especially the gender-specific themes. Perhaps the wisest thing you can do is to ask the celebrant about his opinion. The parents can tell you about what the celebrant wants if the child cannot talk yet.

If there is no preferred theme, you can simply use color to theme up the party. Blue for boys, and pink for girls.

2. Synchronize the Favors With the Theme

Kids would usually expect party favors whenever they attend a party. If the party is a princess party, the wrapping of the favors should at least be according to the color scheme of the theme. Even if the party has a girly theme, the boys should not feel left out. This can be tricky because boys will surely not appreciate a magic wand or a tiara.

Make the boys act like princes or escorts of the girls and give them scepters or shields. A crown is also an option for boys, but only if the design is not too girly.

3. Nourishing Food for the Party

Sustenance should never be lacking in any party. Any party needs good food to work. Grown ups should not feel left out in terms of the prepared menu. One option is to serve grilled food. Hot dogs can be grilled for the kids, while the parents can enjoy sirloin steaks. You can also serve pies, salads and corn on the cob. Drinks can come from a dispenser, or someone can be in charge of giving away bottled drinks.

Planning a party, even a birthday party for kids, should not be too hard as long as you stick with the basics. Make sure the guests attend, serve good food and make the theme great.

Sending the Invitations

First, you have to know that the party preparations start rolling when you send out the invitations. Make sure the number of invites you send out tally with the number of people you are renting tables and chairs for. Every guest on the list should have a seat. Prepare for when people bring along other guests. Add a few extra chairs and a table or two for this eventuality.

Sending the invitations is a particularly important part of the planning. Guests are important to any party. The schedule you choose for your party must fit the schedule of guests.

Decor

The kids should be able to relate with the decor. Some kids still remember the classics like Disney characters, but they probably wouldn’t remember the stars of a cartoon in the distant past like that dragon in Mulan. Kids like to have their favorite cartoon characters around when they celebrate. Toy Story and Cars are great themes.

Food for Serving

The menu should be related with the theme of the party. For a kids birthday party, you need to prepare food that kids can eat. No fancy sushi party or spicy food if the majority of the guests are kids. The basics like chicken and fries are great, but they should be served nicely. Spaghetti is a good food to serve, but be prepared for the mess. Drinks can be served buffet style. You should also provide a place for grown-ups. When you plan your menu, you have to consider the time of day. A lunch or dinner should have several courses. You are better off serving snacks. Dessert items are great to accompany a meal but they should not be all that you serve. Ice cream in particular should not sit on the table melting.
