Birthday Boy Party Ideas
The best party ideas are created specifically for the birthday boy. Whatever idea you choose, you need to use matching cake, food, decorations, party games and party favors centered around that basic theme. Though it may take a little work to find items that fit your theme, creating the ideal birthday party for any child is worth the extra effort. Does this Spark an idea?
Adventure Birthday Party Ideas
Boy birthday party ideas that create an adventure theme are a smart match for energetic kids. Serve a treasure-map-decorated cake, jungle fruit punch, gummy bugs, compass cheese-topped crackers and hidden treasure pizza pockets. Use vine-patterned streamers, tablecloths, napkins and dishes to create a jungle appearance. Add rubber snakes, plastic spiders, plastic bleached bones, cardboard pirate ships, skull-shaped balloons, primitive masks and toy spears scattered around.
Set up a scavenger or treasure hunt, complete with maps, for the birthday boy and his guests. Keep everyone occupied with silly games, such as "Treasure Hunt Bingo." You can also have pirate ship races using a tub of water, plastic straws for the boys to blow with and toy boats with plastic sails to catch the wind. Use toy compasses, plastic swords and/or water guns in plastic treasure chests with gold-foil covered chocolate coins for birthday party favors.
Gruesome Birthday Party Ideas
Birthday party ideas with a gruesome theme are well-suited for boys interested in horror, vampire, wizard or general macabre-related tales. Serve cherry "blood" punch, tombstone-topped cupcakes, eyeball jawbreakers, gummy worms, finger-shaped sandwiches and eye-decorated deviled eggs. Decorate the party with plastic skulls, cardboard vampires, black streamers, black balloons, dangling paper bats, dangling spider webs and plastic spiders. Add a few clear jars filled with plastic fingers, eyeballs or bloody organs scattered around.
Play "Pin the Head on the Zombie," "Eyeball Ball Toss," "Monster Trivia" and other gruesome games to keep the birthday boy and his guests entertained. You can also fill a zombie decorated pinata with gruesome candy and let the boys have fun destroying the evil monster. Use eyeball bouncy balls, plastic vampire teeth, foam-glider bats and/or a skull-shaped erasers as party favors.
Space Birthday Party Ideas
Party ideas for a space theme can be as elaborate as your budget allows. Serve a space-shuttle-shaped cake, star-shaped cookies, orange-flavored "astronaut" drinks, flying saucer pizzas, moon cheese crackers, meteor meatballs and freeze-dried ice cream. Decorate the walls and ceiling with glittering star stickers, yellow balloons, planet-decorated balloons, asteroid-patterned balloons and sky-themed streamers. Use silver, spaceship-patterned or star-patterned tablecloths, napkins, plates and cups.
Keep guests entertained at the space-themed party with amusing games, such as "Best Moonwalk Contest," " Lunar Ring Toss," "Pin the Alien on the Flying Saucer," and "Venus Balloon Volleyball." Give away foam-glider spaceships, alien slime, flying saucer throwing discs, plastic parachute spaceships, star-shaped candy and glow-in-the-dark planet stickers as party favors.
