It’s hard to believe, but we were all young once

It’s hard to think of a time in our lives where we had such big parties as we did when we were kids. It’s not like now when a couple of bottles of wine, a cheesy CD and half a cake will see us through. Back then we’d have themes, bouncy castles, activities, part-bags, games sometimes even performers. When’s the last time you even saw a performer? Don’t even try to think of the last time you hired one and just to make this perfectly clear, strippers do not count.
Along these lines we’ve been thinking and we’ve decided that it’s best to make those few years of big parties and absolute best they can be. Themes and activities from here to there, with cake and hats and all the stuff you loved as a kid but you’re too grown up for now!

Cupcake Themes

Cupcakes are in right now. They can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes from the exquisite works of art to the rough and ready fairy cakes which you’ve lovingly baked by hand. You could have the party goers decorate their own cupcakes for an activity and have a giant cupcake as the birthday cake. Or if you were feeling really daring, you could make a pyramid of cupcakes, each with its own candle. Ask your child what their favourite colours and flavours are and theme it around them. There’s all sorts you can do with this and kids will love the wild and wacky varieties which you’re sure to come up with!

Face Painting Party

Not only could you hire a face painter to give every kid the look they love, you could let them have a go themselves. Make sure to use non-toxic and non-oil based face paint to make sure no damage is done and that clean-up is relatively easy and you’ll find that kids have a great time! If you’re feeling particularly brave then you could let kids paint their parents faces! Yourwellness takes no responsibility for parents looking foolish!

Shape Party

 Great for younger kids. Ask your child what their favourite shape is and theme the whole party around that. Cut food into that shape, including the cake. Have games based around it and make sure the decorations match too!
