Birthday Party Ideas Tips: Funny Birthday Party Idea Hints
You want to have the guests rolling in the aisles and the birthday honoree laughing so hard he or she can’t talk. However, you need some funny birthday ideas to get things started. What can you do to make this party a humor-filled event?

Try salting the guest list with actors and comedians who do funny things out of the blue. Having people do something completely off the wall can really catch people off guard and get them laughing. Consider asking them to break into song, tell great jokes or work with another actor to set up entire zany scenes.

Consider pranks, but be careful. A prank that ruins someone’s attire or is potentially dangerous, like pulling someone’s chair out from under him, is not funny. Pranks like peculiar food or disappearing gifts are much better choices.

Bring back the simple games of childhood and there should be plenty of fun and laughter happening naturally. Simon Says, Red Light, Green Light, Statues and Hide and Seek are all games that should help guests have a fantastic time. For guests who are feeling a bit less energetic, Go Fish, War, Old Maid and other children’s card games are a good option.

Birthday Party Ideas Tips: Who Shares my Birthday?

One fun birthday party theme for adults and teenagers is to center the party around who else was born on that day. You can play various games where the answers are other famous people born the same day as the birthday person. You might set the stage by making the birthday party invitation include names and pictures of celebrities born on the same day.

Birthday decorations can also center around this theme, with pictures of famous people or some specific genre of art or music credited to someone who shares a birthday. Younger children might get a kick out of decorating around a favorite book by an author that shares their birthday.

Birthday Party Ideas Tips: Nutritious and Fun Food

While older kids don’t need a theme to have a birthday, their idea may be to eat nothing but junk and that doesn’t make for peaceful parties. For a sleepover, plan both dinner and breakfast with an eye toward fun as well as nutrition.

Make your own pizzas and let each child customize to their heart’s content. Offer some salad as well or some vegetables and dip for the munchies in addition to the typical chips. For breakfast, pancakes and eggs are pretty easy to make for a crowd. Serve a large pitcher of orange juice and some hot chocolate as well.

Birthday Party Ideas Tips: A Backwards Birthday Party

Why not take things in reverse? One fun birthday party idea is to have a backwards birthday party. You can have children get dressed with their clothes on backwards, walk in the door backwards, eat the cake and ice cream first and then sing Happy Birthday, and do the games at the end of the party rather than the beginning.

*Play a few games that can be played backwards by starting at the end.

Birthday Party Ideas Tips: Hats and Your Birthday Party Theme
Hats can be a key component for a birthday party theme. Some are fairly obvious, like cowboy hats and firefighter hats. But crowns for princes and princess, hats worn by movie stars in certain movies, or pirate hats can be fun as well. If you don’t want to make hats for every guests, think of things you can put on top of headbands instead. Dog ears can be made out of felt and pipe cleaners for example for a dog party. One of your party activities can be to make the headbands or hats, letting each child choose their own options. Have paper hat pieces all cut out ahead of time to make it easier.

Birthday Party Ideas Tips: Scavenger Hunt with a Twist

Many parents plan scavenger hunts for birthday parties but are uncomfortable with asking people to give the kids things. Here’s a modern twist on an old birthday party idea. Borrow some digital cameras and have an adult or older child go with each team. Rather than taking away the items on the scavenger list, you can just take a picture! Whichever team makes it back to the party base with a photograph of every item on their list wins.

*Make the prize a disposable camera to keep within the birthday party theme.

Birthday Party Ideas Tips: Sports Birthday Party

Another favorite birthday party theme is sports. You can have the party focused on your child’s favorite sport or make it more broad and invite everyone to wear some part of the uniform from their favorite sport. Set up some outdoor party games that are sports oriented.

Get a large poster of the birthday child’s favorite sports star and hang it up. Carefully tape a birthday hat to the poster or make it look like the star is holding a helium balloon. Play “Who Am I” with famous sports stars of the day. Play charades that are sports oriented as well.
