If you want to provide an amazing experience to your child and your guests, setting up a theme can create an impressive vibe.
It can be as simple as choosing a motif for the party or as extravagant as picking your child’s favorite movie as its theme. We can’t help but love Jessica Simpson’s Moana-themed party, by the way

Having eye-catching decor doesn’t have to be expensive. All you need is the ability to mix-and-match the right colors. For a kid’s party, using vibrant tones is popular but you can also make black and white playful.

Tip No. 3: Write A Guest List
Creating a guest list is important to keep track of all the guests you’ll be having on your child’s birthday. This will help you know if space, food, and the souvenirs you have are enough.
You can do it old school -- like using a pen and paper to write your RSVP or you can use other programs, apps, or even Facebook to track your attendees. Be sure to notify your guests in advance about the date, motif, and other party-related details in advance and check whether who’s coming or not.
Tip No. 4: Pick A Party Venue
Once you’re done with the guest list and you know what theme you’re going to have for your little one, the next step is to choose the right venue.
Let’s say you want a mermaid-themed party for your kid, then that might mean that you’ll be needing a pool. If you have one at your home, the next thing to consider is the number of attendees. Are they going to fit inside your house or do you need a bigger venue?
In case you’re planning to do the party outside your home, be sure to book the venue in advance and get all the details you need for your child’s special day.
Tip No. 5: Create Party Invitations
Gone are the days when invitations are only handmade. Now, it can be sent via email, Facebook, or almost any digital platform online. So, as part of your birthday preparation, figure out what you and your kid want for their event.
Do you want is customized or printed? How should it look like? Do you want it printed on white cardstock or something unique, like this one from Pinterest?
Tip No. 6: Dealing With Presents
Before the big day, you and your child should talk about the presents. Normally, gifts are opened after the event but in case your kid decided to open it up while the party is still going on, remind them about saying “thank you.”

What’s a party without music?
A few days before the occasion, finalize your kid’s birthday plan -- and that includes the music that will be played on the event. Make a list of the songs and the equipment, such as the speakers that will be used.
Are you going to have a karaoke party? If yes, where will you set it up? How many microphones do you need? Who’s in charge of it?
Tip No. 8: Choose The Cake
A birthday party isn’t a birthday party without a cake. Period.
Are you going to bake it or purchase it from your favorite store? Whatever it is, be sure to think of this and let your supplier now months in advance -- just to be sure that it would turn out the way your kid wanted it.
Don’t worry, since you have a theme for your kid’s party now, choosing a cake will be easier this time.
For instance, Kim Kardashian had a Kidchella-theme party for her North (inspired by Coachella) so her cake looks as festive as this!

I like how you mentioned that a birthday party for a kid will be more fun when you provide surprises and activities. One activity that I feel like kids would enjoy is having a balloon artist that can make different things. Balloons seem to be something that children really enjoy, so it could be a good idea to have an artist at a party. https://www.atwistabove.com/
