Birthday Party Themes for Boys

 

Are you looking for inspiration on how to plan a themed birthday party for your son or grandson?  We are here to help! These are some of the most popular birthday party themes for boys that they will love!

This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. For more information, see our disclosure.

We’ve gathered a list together of the best themed birthday parties  for boys.  

There is going to be something for everyone here, plus tips and advice to help everything go smoothly. 

Race Car and Drive In Movies 

I threw a race car themed birthday party for my son last year and he loved it! The theme was “Ready, Set, Go! Race on over for a birthday party.” 

Another popular theme for race car birthday parties is to say, “Growing up too fast.” 

Decorations

We decorated the house with black and white checkered flag banners that we purchased from Amazon. They also have a race car birthday party decoration bundle that kids would love. 

Activity

For the kid’s activity we had them each decorate their own race car made from cardboard boxes. We purchased these large cardboard moving boxes for the body of the car. Then attached black paper plates to the boxes with Bradley pins for the wheels and steering wheel. 

The kids loved this! 

We let the kids decorate the cars with markers and stickers. And we purchased large number stickers so each car could have a number like in the NASCAR races.

We created a simple race track in the backyard by outlining the track with garden hoses. Then we marked the start and end of the track with a checkered flag banner. 

Once the kids were done decorating their cars, we lined them up and said “Ready, Set, Go!” and the kids raced each other while “driving” their cars. It was hilarious and they wanted to race over and over again. 

If you have the time, after the racing is over it would be fun to have the kids pretend they are at a drive-in movie and watch a show in their box cars. You could set up a “concession stand” and they can choose some treats to eat while watching the show.  

For older kids: 

If you can afford it, take your teenagers and their friends to a raceway or to an actual drive in movie for their birthday.  

Hot Shots / Nerf Wars

Boys of all ages love shooting nerf guns and it would be a blast to have a Nerf War birthday party. 

Which is a silly play on words, because a common theme for this type of party is “Have a Blast.” 

Decorations 

Amazon sells a party decoration set specifically for a nerf gun party. These hanging streamers would be really fun to use.

Activity 

For this party you can set up different targets or you can play a game similar to steal the flag. But instead of stealing the other team’s flag, the goal is to shoot out their “Home Base” target.  

For Older Kids

People of all ages enjoy nerf guns, but if you want to do something a little bit more for your older boy you could take them and their friends to play laser tag, or even go paintballing. 

Super Hero Party 

“Calling All Superheroes” or “Avengers Assemble” are both common themes for a superhero party.  

Decorations

Amazon sells a superheroes decorations party pack. You can also purchase these cute super hero masks for the kids to take home with them when they leave. 

Activity

There are lots of “Minute to Win It” games that can be styled to fit into your superhero party. 

Or you can set up simple yard games for the kids to do. For example, if you could find a frisbee that looks like Captain America’s Shield, then you can try and have the kids throw the frisbee into a stack of cups or cans. And whoever knocks down the most cups is the winner. 

Art Themed Party

There are tons of fun and inspiring things you can do with an Art Themed party. Some common themes are “Dress for a Mess” “Blend, Brush, Paint, and Play (Quin) is turning (10) today.” Another popular theme is “We’re going to put the Art in Party.”    

Decorations 

There are some art themed birthday party decorations packs for sale on Amazon. You could also find supplies for your party in Oriental Trading or even at your local craft store. 

Activities  

A fun activity is to put paint in balloons and then tape the balloons to a large sheet of paper. Have the kids take turns throwing darts at the balloons to break them open and create an abstract painting. 

You could also create mini cardboard easels and tape paper onto one for each child. Then they can paint and decorate with more control, and hopefully less mess.  

For Older Kids

Try tie-dying shirts together with their friends.  

Dinosaur Party  

A theme for a dinosaur party is : “Stomp, chomp, roar, let’s party like a dinosaur”. Or another theme is “Please join us for a DINO-mite party.” 

Decorations

Amazon currently has a 285 piece Dinosaur Party Decoration pack! This package has multiple dinosaur balloons and all the items you’ll need for tableware. Check it out!  

Activities 

If you have a sandbox, it would be fun to hide some dinosaur bones and let the kids use makeup brushes to dig them out.  You can also find dinosaur eggs that break apart and contain different types of dinosaurs inside. 

This pin the tail on the dinosaur would be fun too! 

For Older Kids: 

You could take them to a dinosaur museum, or natural history museum. And then watch Jurassic Park together. 

Lego Birthday Party

Do you have a boy that’s really into Legos? Throw him a Lego birthday party. A common theme for these parties is, “Come Build and Play to celebrate (Juan’s) Birthday.”

Decorations 

Amazon comes in clutch again with all the party decorations you’d need for a fun Lego themed birthday party. 

Activities 

It would be fun to have an assortment of legos and allow the kids time to build together or individually. If you had a Polaroid or Fujifilm Instax camera, you could then take pictures of their creations and hang them up for everyone to see. 

I hope this has helped give you ideas on how to celebrate your son’s birthday!

holiday and gift ideas

When you were very young, the best gift for your mother was… sleep. But now you have grown up, and every year you ask the same question: how to surprise your mother on your birthday? For those who still cannot decide, we have prepared some unusual ideas. Choose any!

Ideas for a holiday

Do you want to surprise your mother on her birthday? Then do not limit yourself to the usual holiday at home — with a long preparation of treats and subsequent cleaning. Choose one of the unusual locations in Moscow and have an unforgettable evening.

Surprise party

Remember how it usually happens in the movies: the birthday boy comes home, opens the door of his apartment, turns on the light and. .. Then there are a lot of confetti, crackers, joyful guests who are sure to hide behind the sofa in the very center of the room. But we offer a different scenario. It is much cooler to book a loft for a birthday in advance, prepare treats and snacks, and come up with a fun program. And your mother will not even guess what kind of surprise you are preparing for her. At the appointed time, when all the guests have already gathered in your secret place, all that remains is to go for the birthday girl and bring her to the party. We bet she’ll like it.

Family photo session

If you want to celebrate your mother’s birthday in a narrow circle, then a photo session in a cozy studio, where your whole family will gather, can become a gift for her. Invite a photographer and take warm pictures to remember this day. To continue the holiday, you do not have to set the table at home or book a restaurant. You can choose a loft for a photo shoot, where you are allowed to invite catering or bring food and drinks with you. And after the photographer finishes his work, continue the holiday with a buffet table or even a small family party.

Outdoor picnic

If your mother is tired of the bustle of the city, a holiday in nature is a great solution. How about a cozy house with panoramic windows away from noise and dust? You can walk around the farm, on the territory of which the site is located, as well as meet and take pictures with the animals living there.

Here you can fry kebabs, play badminton or volleyball, relax in a hammock and take beautiful photos with a lake and a wooden pier in the background.

And if you want to hide from the busy streets without going deep into the forest, a cozy veranda hidden in an alley near the Tverskaya metro station will do. A festive evening on a spacious terrace in the historical center of Moscow will give you many vivid memories.

Family master class

An unexpected surprise for mom on her birthday can be an interesting master class or a culinary party.

This bright, stylish loft is perfect for an art party or a creative workshop organized by the site manager.

Together with the birthday girl and guests, you can create your own perfume, paint T-shirts or mugs, make unusual decorations or draw pictures. And also — cook together a delicious dish that will decorate the festive table. The main thing is that the theme of the master class is close to your mother. But, on the other hand, if she spends time at the stove every day, a birthday cooking class may not seem like the best idea for her.

Birthday at SPA

But a holiday in the SPA will definitely be a win-win option, because here you can relax with health benefits. True, it will not work to celebrate a birthday with a large company in this format. But in the circle of the most beloved — easily! Give your mom a relax-massage, SPA-body care, beauty treatments. And be sure to check out the sauna or hammam to warm up and relax properly. After such a holiday, mom will feel rejuvenated and full of strength.

Celebration with a view of the capital

Mom’s birthday should be held on top. For example, you can have dinner on the observation deck in one of the towers of the Izmailovsky Kremlin or invite your mother to admire the beauty of the city from the height of the 67th floor of Moscow City.

There is another option — to rent an equipped area on the city roof and invite your mother to admire the beauty of the setting sun.

For example, a bright urban roof on Dmitrovskaya would be a suitable place for such a party.

From 2500 to 3500 ₽

Holiday in a restaurant

A table in a restaurant is a win-win option for any holiday. But if you want to surprise your mother on her birthday, choose one of the best restaurants in Moscow for her.

Book a table, order flower delivery for the birthday girl, invite your closest friends and relatives and spend the evening in a warm company.

Ideas for gifts

You can complete your mom’s birthday surprise with an original gift. Here are options that will surprise and delight the birthday girl.

Custom cake. The classic version is a large and beautiful birthday cake. It can be decorated with figurines of all members of your family.

Family portrait. It can be made on canvas from your photo by ordering from an artist or a photo studio. Surely, your mother hung such a gift in the most prominent place.

A newspaper published on the birthday of the birthday girl. Here you will need the help of a designer, and better still, a copywriter. Publish a newspaper specifically for your birthday. Fill it with funny stories from family life and congratulations from relatives, friends, colleagues. Stylize the design of the publication as one of the newspapers that your mother likes to read.

Checkbook of wishes. Such a birthday surprise for mom is easy to make with your own hands. You can download book design templates from the Internet, supplementing them with your own set of «Wishlist». For example, such desires can be a family dinner on the weekend, a favorite dish to order, a day according to mom’s plan, and just any of her whims. It remains to print the finished sheets, fasten them together, and the original gift is ready.

Engraved jewel. It can be a neat bracelet, a ring or a cute pendant. Complete it with a commemorative inscription that will always remind your mother of your love and care.

Collection of homemade cards from the whole family. Remember how in childhood each of us diligently drew postcards for parents. You can bring your mother back to those happy times. Let each family member prepare a fun card for the birthday girl with their own hands. Surely, they will take pride of place in my mother’s collection.

Vacation package. This gift will be relevant in any situation. It is not necessary to send your mother to the sea, it is enough to book a room for her in one of the eco-hotels or recreation centers near Moscow. And even better if you go there with the whole family and spend a fun weekend together.

Certificate to the beauty salon is a win-win gift that every woman will appreciate. After all, taking care of yourself is important at any age. You can give a certificate for certain services (for example, for a massage or a visit to a beautician), but it would be better if your mother chooses the procedures she needs herself.

Mom’s birthday is a special holiday. Spend it with your family and give her the warmth of your smiles and hugs. After all, this is the most important thing you need on a holiday!

September
2021

Mom has a special place in the heart of every person. Throughout her life, she teaches, supports and unconditionally loves her child, regardless of age, social and material success. The best person in the world deserves a special birthday party. The moment provides an opportunity to solemnly and publicly talk about tender feelings, show your love and gratitude, show attention and care. Every person can organize an unusual and memorable celebration for mom. Examples of interesting holiday ideas will help prepare an original party for the next birthday or anniversary.

The best places for a holiday: 5 original locations

The tradition of celebrating a birthday at home does not lose its relevance to the present. But it is unlikely that such a holiday can surprise mom. Even if the children take care of all the material and organizational issues, no one canceled the worries about the comfort of the guests and cleaning after the party. Therefore, the best option would be to celebrate the next date in an unusual location where you can arrange an unforgettable birthday surprise for your mother.

1. Surprise party in a secret place

A holiday in the best traditions of American melodrama will definitely please mom, especially if the surprise is being prepared for the first time. It is not recommended to use the parent’s apartment or house for these purposes. It is better to rent a loft or a cottage, prepare treats, think over an original program and warn guests in advance. On your birthday, invite your mother to just take a walk so that she does not know about the surprise until the last moment. When she sees all the close people in the collection, it will surely cause a lot of positive emotions.

2. Picnic

For «urban» mothers, outdoor recreation will be the best gift. If the birthday or anniversary falls on the warm season, then the choice of options for celebrating the event is not limited. Any place away from the bustle of the city will do: a forest, a country park, a lake, a river. In winter, you can also organize a surprise in a natural format. For these purposes, a cottage is rented, a gazebo in a country estate restaurant or a private dacha is used. The romance of a live fire, outdoor games, picturesque views — a birthday picnic will be remembered for a long time for its atmosphere.

3. Individual workshop

What about a holiday with an educational focus? You can combine business with pleasure at a family master class on your mother’s birthday. The choice of theme depends entirely on the preferences and age of the birthday girl. It could be a cooking class, creating your own perfume, or a fabric painting technique. Cooking classes are especially popular. They make it possible to prepare a signature dish for the subsequent feast. But if mom spends every day at the stove, then you should choose a surprise of a different format.

4. Party at the SPA

This option is suitable for a party with the closest people. Pleasant procedures in the SPA will bring guaranteed pleasure and allow mom to feel like an attractive woman. You can order any complex: relax-massage, body care, cosmetic wraps and masks, sauna, hammam. After such a birthday, mom will feel young and beautiful. What else does a woman who has dedicated her life to her family need?

5. Birthday at height

Residents of megacities can arrange a romantic birthday party for their mother with a view of the city. Most high-rise malls have comfortable viewing platforms that you can rent for a party. The beauty of the sunset, high sky and city buildings will be a luxurious backdrop for an extraordinary holiday.

Party Scenarios: 7 Interesting Ideas

Thematic party for mother’s birthday or anniversary will be remembered for a long time for its unusual atmosphere and interesting program. The style of the party is better to choose in accordance with the hobbies and age of the birthday girl. But there are also universal ideas that are guaranteed to impress:

1. Hawaiian Party . An extravaganza of colors, tropical fruits, beach cocktails will give a lot of bright emotions to mom and guests. At the same time, the organization of the holiday does not require complex costumes or decorations.
2. Pioneer Festival . Such a celebration will please the mother, who is still nostalgic for the stable and happy Soviet times. You will need to stock up on ties, flags, caps, learn a few chants. The feast with obligatory herring, doctor’s sausage of the highest quality, lemonade in glass bottles and popsicle for dessert will also add entourage.
3. 20s Retro Party . A surprise from a daughter or son will surely please a mom who loves vintage things. Luxurious outfits, incendiary music, playing cards, alcohol contests are the characteristic features of a retro party.
4. One thousand and one nights . Mom will be pleased to feel like an Arab princess surrounded by numerous subjects who came with gifts. In the house, you can arrange an imitation of a tent, lay out a lot of bright pillows, put low tables with oriental sweets.
5. Disco Surprise . The disco scenario of the 80s has already become a classic of themed parties. The frantic rhythm of the holiday requires a spacious room, colorful decor, color music and an invariable attribute — a mirror disco ball.
6. Hat Party . All women admire the outfits of the mid-19th century, and especially the amazing headdresses. Why not organize a hat party on Mom’s birthday. It definitely won’t be boring. And the condition of the dress code is as simple as possible — the presence of any hat on the head of the guests.
7. Social event . Ladies in beautiful outfits, men in suits and white shirts, expensive champagne and elite snacks — mom will surely enjoy an exquisite surprise in the style of a social event.

There are many options for themed parties. You can organize both a complex costume ball and a bright party with improvised decor. In any case, mom will appreciate the attention to such details.

A gift with love: how to surprise your mother on her birthday?

A mother’s birthday party must be complemented by an original gift filled with the boundless love of grateful children. In this case, the money in the envelope is inappropriate, it can cause hidden resentment. Therefore, the choice must be approached responsibly. Perhaps the following ideas will inspire you:

• Huge designer cake with a family photo . A beautiful dessert will surely surprise your mother and give you the opportunity to share the joy with all the guests.
• Custom portrait . A picture from a real artist will become the central decor in the house, and an eternal reminder of the love of children.
• Wish book . This is a new trend in the gift industry. It is a book with detachable sheets, which you can do with your own hands. On each check, the name of the gift is written, which the mother can claim at any time. For example, a family dinner every Saturday, New Year’s Eve in the country, accompaniment on a trip to relatives.
• Jewelry . A traditional and win-win gift option for mom. To make the decoration not look faceless, you can make an original engraving.
• Vacation package . If finances allow, you can buy an interesting tourist tour abroad or to domestic resorts. The main thing is that the mother does not need anything on the trip. Travel, accommodation, meals, excursions, money for personal expenses — everything should be included in the gift.
• Certificate for cosmetic procedures . Another win-win gift option for moms of all ages. It is desirable that the birthday girl has the opportunity to choose the procedures herself.

You should not give your mother some universal things that will suit every person. It is very likely that an ultra-modern iron or a set of elite dishes will soon be at home with your beloved child. In this case, attention is really important, not the value of the gift.

Home surprise: how to decorate a house?

To create a festive atmosphere in the house on a mother’s birthday or anniversary is the direct responsibility of caring children. It is important that the holiday surprise is combined with the interior of the apartment, so as not to disturb the sense of beauty of the birthday girl. Design ideas and options:

1. Classic Gel Balls . Spectacular decor causes constant delight in children and adults. For mom, it is better to choose balls in calm pastel colors.

2. Japanese — decoration of walls, chandeliers and doors made of crepe paper and origami figurines made of crepe paper. The decor looks very nice if you choose the right color palette and the shape of paper decorations: flowers, balls, pompoms, fringe, etc.

3. Aristocratic — the house is decorated with fresh flowers, including hanging garlands and candles in various candlesticks.

4. Home — hand-drawn posters, calendars, flags are hung throughout the house. Such a «native» surprise will surely cause tears of joy in mom.

5. Luminous — garlands with bulbs decorate the house not only for the New Year. Elegant LED lanterns are hung on windows, doorways, at the head of the bed. A win-win option to create a festive atmosphere for a birthday.

If the visual design is supplemented with thematic musical accompaniment, the surprise effect will be as impressive as possible. For the sake of childish joy in maternal eyes, you need to try with festive decor.

Traditional holiday: going to a restaurant

If there is not enough time to prepare an unusual surprise for your mother, you should not immediately abandon the idea in favor of a home feast. You can turn to the old and proven way to enchantingly celebrate an important day. A trip to a restaurant will be remembered for a long time if you choose an institution with a good entertainment program.

Depending on the number of guests, you can celebrate a birthday or anniversary in the restaurant in several formats:

• A table in the common room. Suitable for groups of up to 10 people. Advantages: proximity to the stage, dance floor and bar, the ability to choose a place in different parts of the room (by the window, in the far corner).
• VIP area. If the neighborhood with other visitors is undesirable, then you can choose a table in closed areas.
• Separate banquet hall. For a chamber party only for close people, it is better to rent a hall with a separate exit. This format implies good service, an individual playlist.
• You can emphasize the festive occasion in the restaurant with the help of a special decor, additional services of musicians, a toastmaster and a DJ.
