Ideas For An Arabian Nights Birthday Party  Stories from the Arabian Nights fascinate every child. The story of kings, queens and genies have mesmerized people over the ages. And if you are thinking of ideas for an Arabian Nights birthday party, there is ample scope for experimentation.

Not only do you have the opportunity of including wonderful themes and interesting characters, you can also experiment a lot with the décor. Therefore, create an unforgettable Arabian Nights birthday party for your child’s next birthday.

Prepare Royal Invitations

In keeping with the Arabian Nights theme, the invitations for this birthday party must also have a royal flavour. Take a parchment paper and write the invitation with calligraphic fonts. Scroll it and tie it up with a golden ribbon to make it look like a proper royal invitation. Hand it over to your guests and let them have an idea about the grand party that you are hosting.

Create The Arabian Nights Ambience With Decorations

Decorations play a very important role in creating the perfect ambience for the Arabian Nights birthday party. Use lots of golden and silver decorative items for accentuating the venue. Drape golden curtains from the windows, attach colourful streamers, balloons and confetti on the walls and keep some fake gold and silver coins all over the floor. The genie plays a very important role in the Arabian Nights story.

So, make room for genie’s famous lamp. You can easily get them from the local thrift stores. Keep them on each table and give your guests a feeling that the genie would appear any time. Helium filled balloons can also be attached to the lamps for giving it a mystical appearance.

Decorate the rooms with beautiful candles and light incense sticks. Keep some flameless candles on the lower levels, to prevent injuries. Play Persian music at the background and create the perfect ambience for an Arabian Nights birthday party.

Dress Up Like Kings And Queens

Emulating the style of the royal families, you can dress up as characters from the Arabian Nights. Dress up like kings and queens. Ask your guests to come prepared and let them also enjoy the party in royal costumes. The birthday boy or girl must also dress up as a king or queen. Let the guest of honour sit on a special throne. Make some seating arrangements around the throne with Persian rugs and cushions. Instead of seating them in modern chairs and tables, ask your guests to sit on the rugs and enjoy the evening.

Arabian Style Food

You must serve some Arabian style food for the birthday party. Make some kebabs, pita breads, feta cheese, hummus and sweet dishes like baklava to create the ideal atmosphere of an Arabian Nights party. Let your guests have some Turkish coffee and mint tea as beverages. For the children, you can have rose water flavoured soft drinks and fruit smoothies.

Party Favours

Arabian Nights themed party favours can be easily collected from a local store. Present the guests at the birthday party with miniature genie lamps, imitation jewellery, face veils, aromatic candles, Arabian Nights story books and exotic items like fake gold coins as party favours.
