How to Create Lasting Memories by Choosing the Right Birthday Party Theme.
Birthday Party Ideas that your Child Will Remember for a Lifetime
It's the same story every year. Your child wants a birthday party, but how do you pick a theme? If you go to any party store, you see hundreds of theme plates, napkins and plastic tablecloths. But is that the best way to choose a kids birthday party theme? There are a few thing to keep in mind to make this birthday party one that your kids and you will remember for a lifetime.
Tips for Choosing the Right Birthday Party Theme
Keep your child's temperament and interests in mind. What interests your child at this age? Is it princesses, pirates? Does he go wild over Harry Potter? Is your tween fast becoming a glamour girl?
How do the interests translate into party games and activities? Having plates and napkins is one thing, but the part that will create the memories is what the kids do at the party. It's the games and activities that dictate how much fun they have and what they will remember. No kid will remember what the plates looked like.
Have your child participate in choosing the theme. Depending on the age of the child, you can let them bring ideas to you, or give them some choices. Kids will enjoy any theme more if they had a hand in selecting it.
Here are some sample birthday party themes:

Here are some sample birthday party themes:
Princess Party
For Girls
Every girl has dreamed of being a princess. Make their dream come true by having a princess party. Have princess dresses around that the guests can wear or have the girls come in their own. Have kid-friendly make up available and make them look and feel pretty. Do fun games, have them dance in their princess dresses (with or without princes) and make tiaras or princess wands. Don't forget to take lots of pictures! Pirate Party
For Boys
Aargh! Pull out the eye patches and hooks. It is time to be a pirate. When the kids dress up as pirate characters, they will be more involved in the party's theme and enjoy themselves. Talk like a pirate and take the kids on a treasure hunt. The treasure can be the goodie bags, a chest full of candy, doubloons or even a piñata. Kids can walk the plank forward, backward, blindfolded, you name it.
Wizard Academy
For Boys and Girls
Harry Potter fans will welcome the chance to go to school, or wizard's academy in this case. You can have lots of fun playing quidditch, and have classes such as potions. This is my favorite, since you can have so much fun with some baking soda and vinegar. Add some food coloring for some spectacular potion results! Just be sure to have a roll of paper towels nearby to clean up the mess.
