Child birthday party theme

Birthday Party Tragedy

2006-12-12T01:29:00.000-08:00

When selecting a child birthday party theme, never select a theme that will endanger the lives of innocent little kids.

Remember you are having a birthday party for children of very young age, so when selecting a theme, select one that they could appreciate.

Recently, I read about an article of a little girl being mauled by a declawed cougar in one of the kid birthday party. I really do not understand why would a cougar appear in a kid party. However special we want our child birthday to be, we must not compromise with safety unless you really want to make the event a really unforgetable one for the worst reason.

For those who are baking your own cake, you may choose and make the cake as per your wish. For instance your birthday party theme is princess, you may make a beautiful plain cake and put a crown and a wand on it with simple wordings and decoration may make a perfect cake. For other theme, you may design your cake adopting the same concept.

If you are getting a cake from the cake shop, getting a cartoon character cake will not be difficult as most reputable cake shops do partner with Disney to sell cakes with Disney cartoon design on it. Usually it comes with a small premium in price, but it is still very affordable. Check out reputable chain stores around your area to see the range of cakes available.

There are also cake shops who you could view the design via the internet. Some come with 3-dimensional cake design like a 3-dimensional princess, mermaid or a football. You may check this up via internet cake shops near your home. These 3-dimensional cakes usually come in a minimum size of 3kg, the prices are quite reasonable although usually slightly more expensive due to its size and design.

Select or re-design a birthday party game that suit your theme

2006-10-06T01:21:00.000-07:00

While selecting games, you may coordinate with the theme of the party. For instance in the "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" game, the game starts with drawing a picture of a donkey and placing the picture of a Donkey on the wall. Each child will hold on to a tail and blind folded. Spin the child around and point her towards the picture. Each child will move towards the picture and pin the tail on it. The child who has the tail pin nearest to the correct location will win.

The above will match your party theme if your party is about animals or Donkey. However, you could also modify the game to suit any other theme. For instance, your theme is Princess, you may change the picture to be a princess and the item to pin on the princess picture to be either earring, princess eye, hand etc. Use your imagination and I believe you could modify most game to suit your theme.

Other than modify the games to suit the theme, you may also play music and songs relating to the theme. All children love children songs and they will be so happy to dance to the beat. If your theme is Barney, playing songs from Barney sing-a-long is a good idea too.

When selecting party games, you should also consider how suitable it is for your theme. If your theme is something very outgoing like superman, you could choose games that has full of energy or heroine in nature. If your theme is calm and gentle, you may select games that are simple and light too. Choose the game that appeal to your child and friends. If your child is a quiet type, he or she will prefer games that are not so rowdy or rough.
