Children’s birthday party

“Hip, hip, hooray!” Anna and Clara find birthdays to be quite special. “It is a wonderful occasion to celebrate,” says Clara. The sisters enjoy organising birthday parties for their loved ones. Children’s birthdays are something truly special, the sisters believe, and over the years, they have planned quite a few children’s birthdays with various fun and creative elements. Are you looking for ideas for an upcoming children’s birthday? Anna and Clara have gathered a few ideas on how to plan a children’s birthday party and hope to inspire you with children’s birthday invitations, children’s games and gift wrapping. If you still have hesitations on what to serve at the children’s birthday party, you can also find Anna and Clara’s suggestions for tasty treats.

“The possibilities are endless,” says Anna with a smile. “The most important thing is to base it on something the birthday child is fond of.” You can also plan a wonderful party by incorporating the child’s favourite colour, the sisters remind.

Clara recommends taking the season into consideration when planning a children’s birthday party. A beach theme or sports theme with outdoor activities are ideal for birthdays in the summer. Cold and rainy days or winter days make for the perfect movie theme or winter theme with hot chocolate and cupcakes decorated with snowflakes. “You can also organise summer themed children’s birthday parties in wintertime or winter themed ones in summertime,” says Anna with a smile.

According to Clara, the invitation should state a date, a time and a venue of where the festivities will be held, as well as an RSVP date, so the guests can inform you of their participation to the party. “If you choose to plan a themed party, it might be a good idea to mention the theme in the invitation, so the little ones can dress up for the occasion,” Clara suggests.

You can create your children’s birthday invitations however you like. Whichever type of invitation you choose, it marks the beginning of a wonderful children’s birthday party.

Whenever Anna and Clara host a children’s birthday party at their house, the sisters like to make homemade treats for the dear little ones. “There are many savoury and healthy snacks to be found that you can prepare in a short amount of time,” says Clara. You can for example cut up some fruits and vegetables and put them on wooden skewers. “It looks colourful as well as inviting,” she adds. Another idea is to let the little ones decorate waffles with various toppings. The waffles can also be baked beforehand, remind the sisters.

If you need inspiration for other delicious birthday treats, be sure to explore Anna and Clara’s DIY-projects for more creative children’s birthday ideas.

A few years back, Anna and Clara planned an afternoon tea party to celebrate the niece’s birthday. For the festivities, the sisters had set small tables in the garden with beautiful white tablecloths, a wonderful tea set and exquisite treats. For the theme, the sisters had arranged fun games, like the memory game. The object of the game is to say, "When I was having tea with the Queen, I met ...", after which the next player in the circle must repeat the phrase and add a person to it. The game continues until everyone has added someone to the phrase. "The challenge is to repeat the phrase without leaving anything out,” Clara explains. “It happens sometimes,” says Anna with a smile. "But then the turn simply goes to the next player."

Any children’s birthday celebration includes beautifully wrapped gifts, the sisters believe. There are countless ways of giftwrapping gifts, whether you prefer a classic or more creative giftwrapping. If you lack inspiration on the giftwrapping for a children’s birthday party, Anna and Clara hope to inspire you to make a creative giftwrapping for the dear little ones.
