Kids Party Tips

Believe it or not, not all girls want fairy or princess theme parties! In fact it's a good thing I had a 1st birthday princess party for my daughter as I think that's the only girly one I will get to have for her..

All kids have their individual likes and dislikes but following are some aged based suggestions for popular and easy themes to do for girls birthday parties:

1st birthday - let's face it most 1 year olds don't really have that much of a definitive personality and likes or dislikes yet so generic themes are usually the go, e.g. 1st birthday girl,pink, animals, winnie the pooh, etc.

2nd & 3rd birthdays - by 2 most kids have started showing an interest in favourite characters in books, kids tv shows, etc. e.g. Dora, Elmo/Sesame Street, My Little Pony/horses, The Wiggles, animals, etc.

4th birthday - this is usually the age kids really start to get into birthday parties, fun themes include pirates (yes you can get girl pirate partywares), fairies, princess, Dora, My Little Pony/horses, etc.

5th birthday - similar to 4th birthday but generally a more specific, e.g. Hannah Montana, Cinderella, Tinkerbell, Bratz

6th - 8th birthdays - a bit more adventurous and generic, e.g. disco, beach and the dreaded slumber parties.... 

Our most popular girls themes for 2009 were Dora and disco and for 2010 Hannah Montana & Princess.
