These are some of the most memorable parties you can throw. Not only are they fun but kids love getting dressed up.
Themes need to be something the kids will understand though, and simple enough for parents to make or half-way make, or cheap enough to buy. Also you want a theme to be fun and have enough activities to fit with your theme.
Themes
- Pirates
- Superhero's
- Animal
- Knights, Princess's,Wizards, you know your basic Medieval theme.
- Sports- favorite team: football, baseball, basketball, Cricket (yes its kind-of a sport)
- Cartoon Character, or specific cartoon
If your a crafty parent you could have the costume ready for the children, or have it partially ready and have them decorate there costumes as one of the activities.
Costume parties for kids is especially great around Holidays like Christmas or better yet Halloween. These Parties can be theme based around the holiday making this party even better.
The major thing for these parties is setting it up and having everyone have plenty of time to get ready for it including the guests. Especially if its going to be a costumed theme party.
You want to give parents plenty of time to find a costume that will work for there child. Also setting up the party is going to take time, finding all the right party supplies, and preparing all the themed food.
Some of this you can have someone else do like a caterer or party planner. Of course if you do that it will cost you a bit more than if you did it yourself.
Once again games and activities is going to be priority. so take your time and figure everything out. This is not a quick throw together party, themed parties should be planned out.
