Top 10 Birthday Themes for Boys
Birthdays are a special occasion, especially for children. From cutting a cake, opening gifts together and spending time with friends and family, every moment is a precious one. Adding to the charm is when parents plan a surprise theme party for the birthday child. Party themes can be based on the child’s favourite character, colour, rhyme or even food. To help you, we have compiled a list of top 10 birthday themes for boys so you can have a hassle-free celebration for your little prince!
1. Blue
If you want to celebrate your son’s first birthday, why not opt for the classy ‘Blue’ theme. Choose a mix of pastels and bright shades of blue to decorate the birthday venue. Add silver, white or black to add a beautiful contrast. Decorate the space with blue balloons, strings and paper flowers or pom-poms. A blue birthday cake will complete the theme. First birthdays are more fun with Smash Cakes. These make for an adorably messy yet beautiful photoshoot with your baby. You can also set up a blue backdrop, photo booth or photo frame to capture memories with family and friends. If you want to have more fun, try a DIY Piñata in the shape of the birthday boy’s age. Be sure to fill it with lots of blue goodies and candy for an explosive birthday party.
2. Baby Shark
The Baby Shark went viral in 2017 and continues to be a hit among young children and toddlers. Celebrate your son’s birthday by decorating your house in a sea creatures theme. Opt for a Baby Shark theme cake with cute marine creatures all over. Adding blue and white balloons will make your house as vibrant as the ocean . Little pouches with Baby Shark themed giveaways like puzzles, toys, stationary would make a perfect return gift too.
3. Nursery Rhyme Theme
Nursery Rhyme themes are especially popular for 1st birthdays. Try an Old Mac Donald’s Farm theme for an outdoors garden party. You can decorate the space with beige and white balloons, and animal cut-outs to replicate a barnyard. The lullaby ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ makes a great theme for birthdays as well. Hang fairy lights around your house for a dreamy starry night sky like atmosphere. Other decorations can include golden star cut-outs, a blue backdrop imitating the night sky and little customized cupcakes with star fondant.
4. Jungle Safari
If your son adores animals, or simply watches Lion King too much, then a jungle themed birthday is the one for you. For a lush forest, drape your house in green, get some of your garden plants indoors and place some animal stuffed toys around the house. If a lot of children are coming over, you can distribute animal face masks and let them go wild with fun. You can also make a cardboard frame of a safari car to use for photoshoots. A multi-tiered Jungle themed cake can be the show stopper of the day.
5. Cars
Lightning McQueen, Hot Wheels and Transformers are extremely popular birthday themes for boys. This is why ‘Cars’ is an incredible birthday theme for your son. Place orange cones and checkered flags around the house to create a race track and plan a game around it, mark milestones with red, black and white balloons, and station a cardboard traffic light at one corner. A pack of Hot Wheels would make excellent return gifts for this birthday party.
6. Minions
Fun birthday themes for boys could include a Minions birthday that would bring a fun twist to the birthday party, like the sweet and funny yellow creatures. Decorate the birthday venue lavishly with yellow and blue balloons. You can serve Minion cupcakes, yellow lemonade, popcorn and cake pops to the children. Organize fun games such as a minion Piñata or blindfold pin the eye on a minion.
7. Sports
Boys spend a lot of their time playing outside, so why not bring the fun indoors with a ‘Sports’ themed birthday party. Be it football, basketball or cricket, you can personalize this theme in several ways. Decorate with balloons and actual game equipment, if available. Set up and serve food at a concession stand to imitate a game stadium. You can serve cookies decorated like basketballs, finger foods and sandwiches. For return gifts, how about customized shirts with the names of all guests printed on them?
