For many people, a birthday is the addition of one more year to their life; but for many, it’s party time! This is the one day, when they are the centre of all attention and everyone who comes to the party, is coming only for them! Well, there might be some who come for the party itself – they will want to see what kind of food is being served, what birthday cake is going to be cut, what kind of party favours will be given away, and most importantly, what kind of theme is being kept!

All said and done, a party actually revolves around the theme that is chosen – you will have a cake in keeping with the theme, the decorations will be as per the theme, the food will be in accordance with the theme. It is all in tandem with the theme and if you want your party to be a big success, then you need to make sure that you choose a great theme.

Themes Ideas For Birthday Party

Themes for a Dream Party!

When you are planning a birthday party, one of the first things you need to pay attention to, is the theme. All the planning will actually come post that, because you need to choose and pick items in accordance. You can’t have a barn setting, if you are planning to have a retro disco party and there is no point offering Indian snacks at a party that is supposed to have a Parisian theme! In addition to that, you need to make sure that your theme is in keeping with the age group – choose a theme that the birthday boy or girl and his or her friends will enjoy the most.

Kiddies Galore

For most kids, their birthday is the only important day in the entire calendar year, apart from maybe Christmas! They look forward to the day when they are the centre of all attention and all the people who come to the party, will want to be with them.

While they might not be interested in how much planning goes into their party, they will definitely want to have a say in the theme that is being chosen. After all, no seven year old would be interested in a theme that is based in Las Vegas!

Even if you are planning a party for kids, you need to be careful, because these days, kids know what they want. Your son will not forgive you, if you choose a pink or princess theme for his birthday party. But if you have a daughter, go ahead and pick out one of these as the themes for her birthday party.

If you are thinking on the lines of a princess themed party, you will be spoilt for choice, because there are so many princesses! Ariel, Snow White, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Beauty – choose one and make sure that everything else is in tandem. You could even consider other animated favourites for the theme and you could choose from Minnie Mouse, Tinker Bell, Winnie the Pooh or My Little Pony.

These are big hits with the little girls and will surely excite her friends as well. If you are thinking of basing your theme on party favours that you will be able to locate with ease, then a Hello Kitty theme or a Barbie theme would be your best choice. Your little princess and her guests will love it, if they get to enjoy a party based around a Dora the Explorer theme, the Care Bears theme or even a strawberry shortcake theme!

However, if your world revolves around your little prince, then you need to consider certain other themes. There are almost no boys who don’t love super heroes or don’t want to be one. That is why you would almost certainly have a hit party, if you choose a superhero theme.

Take your pick from The Avengers, Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Ben 10, the Transformers, the Power Rangers or Iron Man. But if your boy is a little too young for superheroes, then you could consider a theme that is based on Disney Cars, Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder or Scooby Doo.

And then there are the themes, that all boys would love; these are the themes that you could just not go wrong with! Think on the lines of a Pirates of the Caribbean theme, Star Wars, Lego, WWE, Phineas and Ferb and Beyblade, and you will have a sure fire winner in your hands. Make sure that all your planning goes around the theme you are choosing, and this includes the cake, decorations and party favours.

But what do you do, if you have twins or are celebrating the birthday of two kids at the same time? Well then, you need to pick a theme that both boys as well as girls will enjoy, and you really don’t need to get tensed, because the list of such themes is long enough too.

Pick themes such as jungle animals, Curious George, Happy Feet or Angry Birds, and plan a party around the same. Or perhaps you could choose a theme that is based on television shows and movies, like Toy Story, Sesame Street, SpongeBob SquarePants, Madagascar or the Smurfs, as these are pretty popular with kids too.

Time for the Teens

When you are trying to choose a theme for the birthday party of your teenager, you need to be a little more particular than the tiny tots. Unlike the kiddies, who will pout if they don’t like the way the party turned out, the teenagers will be definitely more vocal! Choosing a theme and planning a party for teenage girls needs to vary a lot from that for teenage boys.

For teenage boys, themes based on sports are always a sure fire hit, which is why you would be the cool mom or dad, if you plan a party based on sports themes such as baseball, football, basketball or soccer. With cricket fever also catching up, you could also plan a party based on this sport.

If your teenager is more of the kind, who spends his time cooped up in front of his PSP or computer, you could plan a party around his beloved video game. Such themes could vary from Need for Speed to Warcraft! If you want to plan a party for the young lady of your house, then you might want to find a theme that is sure to sweep her and her friends off their feet.

If your teenager has drooled over Justin Beiber, Harry Potter, Edward Cullen or Jacob Black, why not give her a party based around her crush? Today, Harry Potter or Twilight themed parties are easy enough to organise and you will be able to find cakes and party favours, related to the same, pretty easily.

You could also plan an entire party theme around popular television shows like Wizards of Waverly Place, iCarly or Hannah Montana, which are loved by young girls, all around the world. If your daughter is the creative kinds, she and her friends might really enjoy a birthday party that has themes like cooking, fashion designing or modelling. Consider parties themed around shows like Top Chef, Masterchef, Hell’s Kitchen, Project Runway or America’s Next Top Model, and you will certainly be able to find plenty of inspiration!

For typical girlie ideas, why not choose a birthday party theme that doubles up as a girls night out or a sleepover? If you can arrange for some spa treatments at home, you could even plan a spa themed birthday party. And if your little angel is turning 16, then you have the best theme at hand – a sweet sixteen party!

Young at Heart!

Just because you are no longer a kid does not mean that you can’t celebrate your birthday! Each year, when that special day comes by, you have all the right in the world to throw a party, blow out some candles, cut a cake and have it too! And you are just as rightful to have a birthday party with a proper theme to it!

Feel free to have a Power Rangers or Hello Kitty themed party, but then, you yourself might feel odd and out of place in such a party. But don’t fret, because you will be able to find plenty of themes that suit your day and age. While a party that celebrates your particular age or the time you were a teenager would be a great idea, you should look at other options too.

Why not do something exotic? You can have a theme that is based on travel and exotic destinations. Take all your friends off to Hawaii or the white sand beaches of Maldives. Maybe the beaches could be a little more sinister, especially if you plan a Survivor style birthday party. Or invite all your friends on a safari, deep in the jungles of Africa or Asia. You could also setup an entire carnival, right in your living room!

If you want to have a posh party and a sophisticated theme, you could choose from ideas like a black tie party, or set up a Las Vegas style casino night, in your backyard. If you don’t want a full-fledged party, you could do just a cake, some snacks and wines or cocktails, and label it a wine tasting party of cocktail party.

Another great theme for a posh party would be to get inspired by the celluloid world. Think Hollywood, think the Academy Awards, think old movies and you will surely find a theme that suits your style! Just because you are grown up doesn’t mean that you can no longer have a candy party or one where you ask your guests to come dressed up are pirates or cowboys! Costume parties are always fun, no matter the age group!

A birthday party is meant to be fun and each person’s definition of fun is different. So define your fun on your own terms and choose a theme that you know you and everyone around you will enjoy!
