Costume Birthday Party Ideas
Kids love costume parties and dress up parties so why only have them at halloween? Here’s some Costume Birthday Party Ideas that I’ve run across. The great thing about costume birthday parties is that you can make the party as simple or complex as you like. I’ve seen costume birthday parties as simple as this.
Batman and Robin ready for a costume birthday party
Have a kids birthday dress up party. Here’s how this costume birthday party idea worked for me.
First the invitations. Say something like this on the birthday party invitation. “Come as you are but be prepared to be someone else. At Tommy’s bday party, you an choose if you are a pirate, an angel, a transformer, or batman”. Hint – Make sure you have the costumes that you are “advertising. You can use any words on the birthday invitation that you like but you get the idea.
Next the costume for the costume birthday party idea. I keep a chest full of costumes. (I can’t decide if I keep them for a rainy day or because I’m too cheap to throw them away). Through the years, and three kids, there are probably 30 costumes in there. Even though they started out as Halloween costumes the girls were never into scary costumes. So in my chest of costumes, I have lots of girls costumes that can be used for a bday dress up party. I have cinderella costumes , several princess costumes, a Belle costume, Alice in Wonderland Costume, and a couple of angel costumes.
Birthday Party Invitation for a dress up Party
For the boys birthday party costumes side I have a Megatron (transformer), two pirate costumes, batman and robin costumes, and of course a barney costume. (I told you these were old costumes. Any way, you get the idea. The plan is to have the kids show up as they are and let them change into costumes to make the birthday party a dress up party.
The next step in this bday costume birthday party ideas is this. When the kids get to the party, have them choose which costume they would like to dress up. Make sure to resolve any disputes about birthday party costumes. And away you go.
For a girls birthday party, you can turn the whole birthday party into a dress up party. Help the girls with make up and lip stick. (make sure and get the other parents permission first). It never ceased to amaze me how little girls can get so fascinated with finger nail and toe nail polish. This costume birthday party ideas will have to include a girls dress up birthday party. This will work great for a 4 year old bday party, a 6 year old birthday party, and maybe a litte older kids birthday dress up party.
For the boys, when they are dressed up you’ll need some type of birthday party games.
To make this costume birthday party ideas complete make sure the cake is dressed up too!
