If the birthday is celebrated in summer and you have a swimming pool oat your disposal, you can choose an aquatic or beach theme, such as surfing in Hawaii or Ariel the Little Mermaid for a pool birthday party. Amazing Moms web site suggests some activities to entertain the girls, including a rubber duck race, where the kids have to push the toys with their noses.
Often, birthday parties generate a big quantity of waste which is difficult if not impossible to recycle. You can invite guests to help you with the party's decoration using waste material, such as cardboard, empty plastic bottles, boxes and cans, and plenty of colorful non-toxic paint. In the invitation, you can also ask the guests to bring an unwanted book or toy, to swap during the party. Kiwi web site suggests a backyard eco-camping party, for older girls. You can start the party at dusk, set up tents in the backyard, gaze at the stars and identify constellations. The girls can help you to prepare a night picnic, including only homemade treats, which will avoid package excesses.
You can transform a birthday party in a Alice in the Wonderland tea party. You can buy a deck of cards and create funny invitations and ask the guest to come dressed as Alice, the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit or any other character from the book. You can decorate the table with mismatched and unusual tea cups, saucers and pots. Hide a stuffed mouse in one of the pots, decorate the tables with over-sized playing cards and make sure you there are many big and bright flowers, suggests Amazing Moms.
If the girl is a big fan of a famous character, such as Hello Kitty, and you don't much time to make the decorations yourself, you can buy the themed party package. This include posters, balloons, banners, blowouts, hats, napkins, cups, plates, table covers, and even the invitations and thank you cards. Other popular characters in themed birthday packages include Barbie, Tweety Pie, Cinderella, Snow White and sundry other Disney princesses.
