The 3 Most Popular Children's Birthday Themes

If you’re stressing about putting a children’s party together, there’s probably already too much to coordinate, without picking out a theme. Which is why we’ve put together this quick guide on the most popular themes we see at kids parties, and we would know, we throw many children's parties every week!

1. Dinosaur Theme

2. Forest/Animal Theme

3. Space Theme

Dinosaur Themed Parties

One of the classics, think 66 million years ago classic. Dinosaurs still captivate us to this day, especially at an early age. One of the easiest parties to organise costumes, toys, dress up and face painting for. If you’re looking to throw together a theme for your next children’s birthday party in no time, this is the best low-cost option that can be thrown together the same day in a flash. If you’re looking to execute a fantastic dinosaur themed birthday party, here are some ideas that will bring together the theme and keep everyone entertained:

• Face painting stations to draw horns, scales and even canine teeth to transform the kids into modern dinos. 

• Dinosaur nuggets in the catering can be an easy to find touch that really sells the theme.

• A prehistoric dinosaur birthday venue that takes the party guests from reality to ancient times. 

• Dinosaur costumes or strap on dinosaur tails will be the most adorable feature of any dino theme party. 

Animal Themed Parties

Children can already act like animals at times, intentionally or unintentionally, the vigor is already there. Which is why throwing an animal themed party just makes sense, turning all that energy into acting and taking the jungle outside the house for once. There’s so much inspiration you can take to throw an animal themed birthday party, which is why we see parents throw them all the time. Here are a few tips to throw an amazing animal themed party:

• Face painting is an easy option, with tiger, fox, bunny rabbit and other animals being popular options even at non-animal themed parties. 

• Organising a few homemade tails can be a one way ticket to nailing this theme. 

• A forest themed venue or a few forest props laid around the room for the kids to climb on. 

• Organising an animal parade to show off all the costumes is an excellent activity to keep the kids active.

• Organising an animal themed playlist for the party is an easy winner as well, with songs like “Africa” by TOTO or “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” 

Space Themed Parties

Partying on earth is so overdone, we’ve been doing it for thousands of years now, so why not take it to space. So get in your spaceship and launch your young ones onto a planet far away for their next Birthday. With so many venue options, potential activities and cake ideas, this is one of the easiest themes to pull off which is why it keeps on trending. So here’s a few pointers from mission control to launch you into your next space themed party:

• A rocket ship cake will blast past the expectations of other parents and is relatively easy to cut up and frost. 

• Try running a cops and robbers spinoff, astronauts and aliens, where the astronauts try catching all the aliens. 

• A space themed venue will expertly transform this theme from a gimmick to an inspiration for all party organisers. 

• Star Wars and Star Trek costumes are really easy to find at any party shop, so adding a dress code to the theme is usually a really effective way to really transport the kids to another world.
