A Dinosaur Themed Party

/ Kids Parties / By

 

The theme is DINOSAURS. Now you just need to make a few more decisions.

 

 

1. INVITATIONS

No need to print beautiful invites. Just create one online and text it to family and friends. It’s easy and cost effective. Make sure to add the following:

    • Date and Time (start and end times).

    • Location

    • RSVP phone number or email

    • Special Instructions (pool party – bring a towel).

2. DECOR

Pick a color scheme of two or three colors and keep the decorations to those colors. It will look fun and classy. I did blue and green here.

    • Decorate the Cake Table. Order a dinosaur themed cake or bake one yourself and add some little toy Dinosaurs. Add festive balloons to the table along with some colorful gift bags that matches the color scheme.

    • Main Party Space. Add a balloon garland and it will look festive.

    • Tables. Add some dinosaur themed plates. I mixed paper plates with plastic plates here.

    • Music. Play Dinosaur or jungle music! It will set the ambience.

 

3. FOOD

Keep it yummy! BUT keep it simple! I usually order my food because I don’t want to worry about making it on the day of the party. Here are some sample menus.

    • Main Entree
        • Pizza and Chicken Wings

        • Chicken Nuggets and Mac N Cheese

        • Mini Sandwiches and Chips
