BirthdayOrganizer

Themed parties are fun, unique, can be educational, interactive and even flexible/adaptable to small and/or large groups of children. A theme may help make your event that much better and more memorable. Themes are cool, but I’m not a big fan on being too strict with sticking to the theme. The kids just want to have fun, so for example, if you have a Spiderman theme, you can have other things going on that have nothing to do with the theme – I’m telling you this because the kids rarely care how close you stick to the theme and sometimes it’s really hard to do anyway. Also, if you are having trouble finding the right decorations and plates, don’t worry too much about making your decorations related to the theme. Again, you probably care more than the kids do about that kind of stuff, and the party is for the birthday child, not you. Picking a theme and using that theme doesn’t make the party fun by itself; the theme is just a framework. You still need to figure out some activities and entertainment – that’s where the fun is. Yes, I’m a magician/balloon twister, so I recommend considering hiring a good entertainer, magician, clown or costumed character if you don’t have enough really fun stuff for them (high energy, lots of laughs kind of stuff – making a paper hat or whatever is OK, but you can do better).
