Ideas For Theming Your Party

Alien Party

Everybody comes coloured green, green food, and lots of green slime. Party plates, etc. are available in alien design. Check our list of online party stores.

 

Book Character

Come as your favourite book character, you can refine it to a particular book, ie Harry Potter, Pooh Bear. Check our list of online party stores for character merchandise.

 

Colour Party

Everyone comes according to a colour scheme – red, blue, whatever.  Use food colouring to colour coordinate your food!

 

Down on the Farm

Hire a baby animal farm, everybody wears western clothes.  Use hay bales (sugar cane mulch bales are really cheap).  Buy cheap baskets and fill each with party food for the kids. Hire a face painter and use animal themes.

 

Film Star

Your child is a film star and invites all his famous friends along.   You can have each child act a famous scene  from one of their  movies.  Use director’s chairs with the Stars name on it, use lots of stars as decorations. Have an awards ceremony for best actor, best dressed, etc.

 

Jungle Party

Animal face painting, everyone comes dressed as an animal, animal shaped cookies, decorate with animal print fabric, banana leaves, palm fronds.

 

Narnia Party

The magical Chronicles of Narnia via the movie The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, means a Narnia Party is sure to be a hit.

 

Ookey spookey

Based on Halloween but at a different time of year, everybody has to come as something scary.

 

Painting Party

Wear really old clothes and have lots of  paint and goo.

 

PJ party

Have a sleepover and everybody arrives at 5 o’clock wearing their pjs.

 

Sparkle Party

Everyone has to wear something that sparkles, presents have to be wrapped in shinny paper, even the food can sparkle.

 

Under the Sea

Everybody comes as a sea creature. Create jelly fish and sea creatures to hang from the ceiling. Lots of games involving jelly, a fish hunt in the sand pit.
