Planning a Pet Themed Birthday Party
When choosing a theme for a birthday party, it can be difficult to pick one that is unique and stands out from themes that friends and family have already used. One excellent idea for an unusual birthday party theme is pets as this can be fitting for both children and adults. If this is an idea that appeals to you, then here are some tips for creating the perfectpet birthday party.
Choose a pet
If you have a favorite pet, such as a horse or a dog, then it makes sense to have this as your theme and coordinate all aspects of your party according to this one specific pet. However, if you are an animal lover of all types of pets and you own several different pets yourself, then choosing a general pet theme with incorporating several different types of pets is a better option for you.
Stationery
One simple way to create a pet themed birthday party is to add images of pets to stationery items such as invitations and place name cards. There are several ways to do this. First of all, you can search for images on the Internet and glue these to the invitations. Secondly, you can pay for professional invitations to be created for you and choose a pet themed design. Finally, if you are creative enough you can draw the designs yourself or cut the stationery into the shape of your chosen pet.
Food and drink
To offer actual pet food may be taking your theme a little too far! However, it is possible to choose food that fits in with your theme. Alternatively, if you are having a buffet, create fun names for the food that you are serving that relate to the theme and write them on cards that can be placed next to the different dishes.
Fancy dress
Asking guests to wear fancy dress is always a good way of making a party fully themed. Ask them on the invitations to come dressed as the pet you have chosen for your theme. Bear in mind that some outfits will be easier to create or buy than other types of pet outfit. Don't forget- if you are asking your guests to dress up, it is only fair and polite to also make the effort yourself.
Decor
A further way to contribute to the pet theme for your birthday party is to decorate the venue with pet related items. These could be large images of pets, balloons shaped to represent the pets or artistic structures. This is a great opportunity to be creative and make your party memorable.
Conclusion
A pet theme for a birthday party is an unusual theme to choose that is both unique and unusual. It is possible to create the theme with fancy dress, personalized stationary, decor and food and drink. You can choose one pet to focus your theme on or a whole selection of different pets. This theme can easily be adapted for both an adult or a child's birthday parties.
