I'm so tired of the usual cartoon characters covered in cake and ice cream. And I talk to other moms like me everyday that suffer from the same cartoon character overload. So we're going to lose the cartoon characters and explore some party ideas that will thrill your kids and their friends while avoiding the cliche of the cartoon character.
-Pick a theme based on your child's favorite activity or the activity your child has been asking to do. My oldest son loves to play paintball and has been asking to play paintball with his friends for his birthday for months. We are using the splattered paint concept for much of the decorations. If your little guy is into pirates (including the popular pirate character on TV right now) then a perfect theme (with activity) would be a treasure hunt. Gold coin candy can be purchased online and I even saw plastic treasure box shaped storage boxes at my local discount store recently.
-If your sweet girl wants to have a sleepover, use a color instead of a theme. If her favorite color is purple, then make everything purple. Serve purple food, purple drinks, and let them leave with a purple party favor.
-Base your child's birthday on what he or she wants to be when they grow up. Let your sweet baby go to his own party in costume.
-Is your little person into certain animals? Use that to create your theme. Perhaps they love sharks. A beach themed party is a fabulous way to incorporate that. Are they into lions? Then perhaps a safari themed party should be in order.
-Turn the usual party food into delightful munchies when you rename them. Having a space-themed party? Try renaming hotdogs something like "rocket dogs" or calling the kool-aid "jet fuel".
