Creative Party Theme Ideas – Time To Get Crafty!

Creative party theme ideas are not just any party ideas where people turn up, play a few games, eat then leave. These party ideas are far more imaginative. The guests actually have to participate in the party and do something creative.

From crafts to dressing up or even performing dance routines these parties will keep everyone busy whilst still having fun. There is still time for food, but be warned the guests may have to cook it themselves!

The ultimate creative party theme idea would be that every aspect of the party would need to be creative such as a craft party idea.

If you do choose this party idea, be warned, you will need a lot of time (the party may go on all afternoon). Also limit the amount of guests as you want everyone to be able to have a go at everything.

If you have already chosen a Pink Heaven Occasions' kids party ideas then it is easy to add in some creative elements such as cheer leading or performing in a musical. Just scroll down the page to find more creative themed ideas.

INVITATIONS

Party invitation ideas are obviously going to be handmade for this party. But making them yourself takes the fun out of it for everyone else.

A great creative party theme idea for invitations is to think of an idea for an invitation and make it yourself, whilst writing down what you needed to make the invite and the steps you took to finish it.

Now, the idea is send all of the materials needed to make the invitation (card, sequins, felt, crepe paper etc.) along with instructions on how to make it to each guest so they can make their own.

This will give them a taste of what’s to come!

For the party details I’d write them on a piece of card that can be stuck onto the invitation. Or if you really want to be creative then you could write them on different bits of card and get each guest to put them in the right order.

“To (guests name)

After putting this invitation together you probably have some idea of the creativeness that is going to be required for my (age) birthday party on (date and time of party).

It will be held at my house, (address), and I ask you to wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit of paint on!

So Let's get crafty and I'll See you there

(birthday girls name)”

DECORATIONS

You can put up some party decoration ideas to show that there is a party going on in the house. But for creative party theme ideas for decorations why not let the guests make their own.

Let each guest create their own place at the table with tablemats, place cards etc. which can then be laminated for keepsakes.
They can also make birthday banners and streamers. This obviously needs to be done as soon as the party starts, so as soon as each guest arrives throw them straight in at the deep end and get them creating!
Origami decorations are also fun to make, try and keep in theme! You can then place these around the room or punch a hole and hang them from the ceiling using string.
Make door hangers from sparkling pink paper.
Decorate the chairs with pink material and the table with pink ribbon.

PARTY COSTUMES

Aprons will be required for many of the craft party ideas and also for baking so make sure that you have plenty.

If you are throwing the party for younger children they may want to dress up. Tell them that at the end of the party they will be doing a fashion or musical show and that they need to make their outfits ready.

These outfits can be anything they like. Use material, crepe paper, sequins, feathers, old clothes and jewelery – actually anything you can find!

Making the fancy dress costumes can be part of the games and activities after the girls have helped to make food. This way you can keep them entertained while everything is in the oven.

THE BIRTHDAY CAKE

The ultimate creative party theme idea for a birthday cake would be to get everyone involved in baking one. But baking a cake takes time, if you have plenty of it and have a lot of patience then go for it.

But another birthday cake idea is for each child to make their very own cupcake. These can all go into the oven together and won’t take long to bake.

Then using a cupcake stand you can arrange each of the cupcakes on different tiers to form a birthday cake that everyone has contributed to!

FOOD AND DRINK

Every child loves baking, I know my two do, it makes them feel so grown up. Check out these creative party theme ideas for kids party food and drink:
