10 Awesome Birthday Party Ideas For This Spring
Do you have a birthday coming up? Lucky you! Spring is one of the best times for festivities due to the ideal weather.
If you’re looking for something to do, take some tips from the list below. Some will get your blood pumping, while others will enable you to enjoy the great outdoors. Whichever you decide, you and your friends are sure to have a blast.
Miniature Golf Party
Why spend a fortune at the links when you can get some fresh air and exercise playing miniature golf for a fraction of the price? Many facilities serve up delicious fair food favorites, so you won’t have to bring anything except for the cake. Are your putting skills up to par? Challenge your friends to a contest and find out. The loser can buy everyone a beverage or a snack.
Go-Kart Party
Have you ever dreamed of competing in Nascar? Maybe nobody will ever confuse you with Dale Earnhardt, but you can still live out your fantasy by hosting a go-kart party. Granted, these work better for parents with older children, but many facilities offer multiple skill tiers for racers of various age groups. See if you can bring home the prize cup after the checkered flag drops.
Picnic in the Park
With the return of spring comes the most enviable weather of the year. Why not get out and enjoy it with an old-fashioned picnic in the park? Many local parks and recreation departments allow individuals to rent out pavilions for a fraction of the cost of other venues. Plus, you have playground equipment just waiting for your children to climb aboard.
If you want, why not give your picnic a theme? You could do a traditional tea party or one themed around your child’s favorite TV show, such as Sesame Street.
Horseback Riding Party
If your children have outgrown their desire for a pony, you can still entertain their love of all things equine. Plus, if you go horseback riding, adults get to join in the fun, too. When sending out the invitations for such a gathering, advise guests to wear jeans and boots or sneakers — you don’t want anyone getting chapped from inappropriate attire. Make sure any youngsters are old enough to follow instructions and remain calm around these majestic animals.
Indoor Laser Tag Party
What better way to relieve stress than with a make-believe game of cops and robbers, complete with a laser gun? Indoor laser tag is an ideal activity if April showers tend to bring May flowers where you live — and your birthday falls on tax day. Adults and children alike will have a blast while getting in a workout and engaging in healthy competition.
Bowling Party
Bowling is a joy at any age — one trip to the alley reveals people of every generation, shape and size. Many facilities offer all-day lane rentals on specific days of the week, so you can save considerable cash if your party is small. They also provide all the equipment needed, from shoe rentals to balls. If you’re planning a for a group of six or more, call ahead to reserve multiple lanes so that you can keep the gang together.
Ninja Warrior Party
Are you and your friends and family tough enough to hack it as ninjas? Maybe you won’t compete on any television programs anytime soon, but you can find indoor and outdoor obstacle courses for your party pleasure. You’ll climb and zipline your way through a day you’ll remember for years.
Is your wallet a bit thin? Kids don’t need fancy equipment, so you can create a homemade course that they’ll love. That way, the little ones can play while the adults enjoy conversation and camaraderie right in your backyard.
Arts and Crafts Party
Does your child consider art their favorite class at school? Why not gather their friends and enjoy an afternoon making crafts together? If your friends share similar creative mindsets, you can have everyone contribute supplies.
Nor do you have to spend a bundle. It costs only a few dollars to get in on the painted rock game and spread smiles and kindness through your neighborhood. Think of the good times you’ll enjoy as you hide your creations.
Keep It Green Party
Maybe your child considers Greta Thunberg her idol. Why not harness her love of saving the planet by having a sustainability party? You could work in a community garden or participate in the cleanup of a local park. Volunteering makes everyone feel better by raising the levels of feel-good chemicals in your body. Afterward, celebrate with a vegan confetti birthday cake to keep the eco-friendliness flowing.
Furry Friends Party
Do you or your child prefer the four-legged mammals to the two-legged versions? Why not have a pet-themed birthday party and invite everyone to bring their furry friends? If you don’t have a fenced-in backyard, you can investigate local dog parks to meet. Make sure your children know how to approach strange animals safely before the festivities begin, and bring plenty of food. You’ll want something special for Fido — a bone-shaped cake, perhaps?
