How To Throw Theme Parties

A birthday is one of the most memorable events in one's life, especially if it's done as a surprise, more so if it comes with a theme. This type of birthday party is becoming a trend these days for both old and young, although it is used more often for a children's party. The theme may be something that fits the hobbies and interest of the celebrator. It could be his favorite personality or movie.

Oftentimes the venue as well as the cake, plates, birthday clown and napkins must also be in-line with the theme. Now, the question how to throw theme parties is, of course, the first thing that will come in your mind in case you are planning to have one, be it for your child, your friend or your special one. To help you, here are some tips and suggestions that you can consider.

Birthday Party Themes

If the celebrator loves Hannah Montana, using her interest as a theme is surely a great choice. First thing that you can do is to choose the Montana songs as the music background, so that means having a good collection of the songs. Of course, it is expected that the guests and visitors will dress up like Hannah Montana or any of the related characters.

You can add more fun and excitement by giving awards on who dressed best or who looked best in their over-all costume. Games are also one way to make it memorable. You can try Hannah Montana trivia and questions, or a look and act alike contest can also do. Adding a time to view her movies is also a good twist.

Army Party

This is a good theme for boys’ parties. You can use black, green, gray and tan balloons along with netting, ammo boxes and tarps. You can look for it in surplus stores or even in your garage. The canvas tarps can be used as covers for the table along with canvas cots for the seats. Helmets can be used as trays for the food and drinks.

The cake can be designed with the same military colors – green, black, gray and tan. A tinge of brown is also good. It can be decorated with soldiers and military trucks and other birthday crafts. For the goodies, you can give bandannas, dog tags with their names etched or simply written with a marker and other military stuff like toy guns or paper planes.

If you're willing to shell out a few dollars, you can opt for olive colored or camouflaged shirts and have them printed with the name of the celebrator. For the games, try something that involves more physical abilities like an arm wrestling competition, pack up relay, water fight or tug of war.

Dance Party

Aside from the usual dance parties, you can add on a little twist by matching the invitations and designs with the theme. For the cake, you can opt for a sheet cake with bright, catchy colors like yellow, red, purple, blue and orange. You can also post the pictures of various dance hit makers on the walls or any interesting spot. Giving awards to the best, wackiest or bubbliest dancer is also one way to make it fun.

There are lots of themes that you can try on how to throw theme parties. You can have your own style, or you can fuse two or more styles in one, and on a few birthday crafts. Just make sure that it will be worth the time, effort and money.
