To plan a memorable birthday party, choose a unique theme. Adding fun game ideas can also make your celebration special without breaking the bank. No matter what type of event you are planning, here are some ideas to make it special.
Whether it’s a kid’s birthday party, a classy event, or a fun gathering, these birthday party themes and ideas will help you celebrate with friends and family.
Adult birthday theme ideas
Decades
Choose a historical decade, like the 20s, to focus your party around. Get themed party decorations, playlists, and encourage people to dress up. This is especially apt if it’s the same year the birthday celebrator was born.
Black and white
This theme is classy, timeless, and easy for people to understand and follow. It allows your guests to look coordinated in pictures and makes a birthday celebration feel that little bit more elegant.
Regency tea party
Encourage your guests to live like they’re in a Jane Austen novel. Great for a relaxing afternoon, you can set up a spread of finger food. Speak in regency English and think about playing games like croquet or backgammon.
Hollywood glamour
This theme can be both chic and fun and can lead to an atmospheric and glitzy evening. A gold and red colour scheme sets the scene, and champagne, feather boas, and moody lighting can help bring everything together.
Children’s birthday party ideas
Superheroes and villains
A classic theme, but one that is easy to follow and one that a lot of children will love. Let the kids choose their favourite character to dress up as. You can also set up games where heroes and villains can compete against each other.
Favourite video game/TV show
If your child loves Minecraft, Bluey, or another popular show, planning a themed party is exciting for them. This will likely please the attendees too! You can even opt for a more niche theme if your child is passionate about a specific topic. Consider buying a themed birthday cake, food and decorations to keep up with event trends.
Children’s party games
Some perfect party games for kids’ birthday parties are pass the parcel, musical statues, and Simon says. Other great games include Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Duck, Duck, Goose, charades, Pictionary, and Twister. You can also adjust the names to fit your theme or give themed prompts for charades.
