Tips on Throwing a Flower-Themed Party for Children
The most joyous moments in life are the ones that we share with our loved ones. What better way to do so than throwing a fun-filled party for your kids?
A flower-themed party is a great idea and won’t even break the bank on your payday. Here are some great tips to help you throw an unforgettable flower-themed birthday party for your kids.
1. Games and Activities
Your party games can be all about flowers.
Start by playing a game of “Flower Hunt.” During this activity, set up flowers around the party space—whether in your furnished apartment or another venue—and give each guest a card with clues to find each.
Once everyone is finished, read each clue and award a prize for each correct answer.
You can also make flower-shaped cookies that your guests can decorate and take home as favors after the party ends. Roll out sugar cookie dough very thin to make these cookies, then use big flower cookie cutters like sunflowers or daisies to create lovely flower shapes.
Bake according to package directions until golden brown, let them cool completely, and decorate with your favorite frosting colors and sprinkles.
2. Decorations
It’s not a memorable party without decorations. The point is to focus on flowers, so you may want to choose bright and funky colors.
Make flowers out of tissue paper and hang them from the ceiling. You can also use streamers, balloons, and other items for hanging decorations.
For the table, use a white tablecloth as a base for your floral arrangement. Try using an old basket or coffee can filled with flowers as a centerpiece, but don’t forget to make sure it’s not too high for kids at the party.
After all, your guests won’t be able to eat if they can’t see their food.
3. Invitations
Kids love getting mail, and a flower-themed invitation will get them excited about the event. There are tons of cute pre-made flower invitations on Etsy, but it can be fun to make your own if you’re feeling crafty.
If you choose to print your own invitations at home instead of buying them online, first you’ll need to find or design an invitation template that matches your theme.
There are lots of free printable templates available online from sites like Pinterest.
Otherwise, use design software like Adobe Photoshop or Canva to create your own template with clipart images or photos from online image banks like Pexels and Pixabay.
Then find some matching fonts on websites like Dafont and download them onto your computer for free. Once you have your design finalized, add personalization details.
This includes the name(s) of the birthday children, date, time, and place of the event, RSVP information, and any other pertinent details (e.g. things they should bring and attire).
If guests must bring anything specific—for example, a pack of cards for a card game—make sure that it’s clearly communicated on the invitation so as not to cause any last-minute confusion. Then, you can print out copies for each guest.
4. Food
Provide a variety of foods shaped like flowers or contain flowers.
For snacks, you can provide a variety of fruits and vegetables in shapes such as flower-shaped cucumber slices or flower-shaped carrot slices, which are fun for kids to eat. You can also serve healthy dips such as hummus with these shapes as well as flower-shaped crackers.
Serve eggs in the shape of flowers using molds – this is easy to do by pouring the eggs into molds placed on a hot pan until cooked through. You can serve this for breakfast or any meal during the party.
Make flower-shaped cupcakes using silicone baking cups and icing that has been dyed pink or purple. Then serve them on a platter along with other foods at the party so that children can choose their dessert after eating more filling foods first.
This is assuming they want to save room for it later on during the party, or they can eat it right away if they’re ready.
5. Favors
Favors don’t need to be expensive. In fact, your guests will be just as happy with something small and inexpensive.
To keep costs down, consider DIY options. Flower seed packets are a great favor idea.
Just be sure to include a note on the packaging if you’re giving seeds that take a while to sprout so the kids don’t get discouraged if nothing happens right away.
If you choose to give out favors, you must include thank-you notes in your flower-themed party plan. Thanking your guests for coming is good manners and will have them looking forward to attending the next time you throw a party.
Favors are not required at a kid’s birthday party, but they can add an extra fun element that your guests will enjoy. Remember that keeping favors simple is best.
Kids love fun parties, and the same can be said for a flower-themed one. Of course, a party also isn’t complete without gifts or cakes.
The happy and innocent nature of a flower makes it the perfect theme for a kid’s party. Use bright, vivid colors and lots of flowers to create an environment that will bring joy to the party.
