A birthday party is approaching, but your head is spinning - which theme would suit your party best? This guide will help you choose the perfect theme without the stress - and have a party to remember for years to come.
1. Choose a birthday theme together with your child
Choosing a theme is the most fun part of the birthday preparations! When your child is involved in choosing the theme, this planning moment immediately becomes a wonderful and enjoyable part of the magic of the birthday party. The party shop is designed to be a fun place for the little ones in the family.
The theme can be related to your child's favourite topic, a fairy tale, a hobby or even a favourite colour. Unicorns, dinosaurs, racing cars and princesses are all time favourites, but simpler colour themes such as thehorn whale, LittleStar, construction machinery or a summer party theme can also bring a stylish and cohesive look to a party.
Tip: Ask your child what they would like or what kind of party they think would be fun. Often it's their imagination that comes up with the best ideas! And we bet the delicious pictures in our party shop will help both child and adult find a favourite theme, if not another.
2. Venue and guests influence the choice
The size and location of the party should be taken into account when choosing the theme. There are many different themes for a house party, the only limit is your imagination, but if the party is outdoors or in a play park, for example, you can design a theme to suit the setting.
Also plan the duration of the party and indicate this in the invitations. About 1.5 hours is usually enough time to keep the atmosphere energetic and the kids happy, but not to let the party get out of hand. This is plenty of time for treats, opening presents, games and play, and some free play time.
The invitation should include the place and time of the party. In the Juhlaboks online store, you can find ready-made invitation cards that fit the theme and can be downloaded to your own device. Just add the location and time and the invitations can be sent to your guests. The invitation also gives a good indication of the theme of the party.
3. The visuals of the theme create a mood
A good theme is reflected in every detail of the party: decorations, tableware, balloons and invitations. When everything is visually coordinated, the party feels polished and special - without you having to put in hours of effort.
And this is where we help! A party box is the solution to a busy day: choose a ready-made theme box! Our party boxes always come with carefully thought-out and compatible tableware and decorations - everything you need in one box.
We've designed two types of booths; themed party booths and themed premium party booths, which are a whole lot more fun with decorations and even gifts for friends.
The content of the premium party boxes varies from theme to theme, so always check the theme information for the content of that theme. Depending on the theme, the Premium box contains 2-4 products:
serving/popcorn containers, gift/baggies for friends (fill yourself), gifts for friends (tattoos/stickers), party favours, decorative rosettes, foil balloon or serpentines.
Easy, stylish and time-saving.
4. Don't overload yourself - theme parties can be easy
It's wonderful to give your child the party he or she dreams of. But remember: you don't have to do everything yourself. Themed parties can also be easy and stress-free when you choose a ready-made solution.
The themed packages in the Celebration Box are designed with this in mind. They include everything you need to set the table, decorate and create the right atmosphere. All you need to do is choose a theme, the number of partygoers and the party starts to build itself.
5. A programme to bring joy and rhythm to the party
A well-planned programme ensures that the atmosphere remains cheerful and the children enjoy themselves. Traditional games such as fishing, treasure hunting and broken phones work year after year. You can also do themed crafts or a fun quiz where children can compete for small prizes. Outdoor parties are a great way to have a fun competition, for example.
