Every parent knows that weekends aren’t for relaxing. Instead, they’re for kids’ birthday parties.

To make everything look and feel cohesive, start with a theme. You can go with a classic, such as a mermaid theme, a sports party, a luau, or a dinosaur theme, or you can do something more unusual! Consider a “Berry 1st Birthday” party, a Minecraft celebration, or a Y2K throwback bash.

Want to keep things simple? Just pick a color or vibe instead of a full-blown theme. If you need help choosing a direction, Michaels has a ton of theme solutions.

2. Decorate.

Decorations are key to a fun birthday party, and you can go as simple or elaborate as you want. Embrace minimalism with just a few balloons, or go all out with backdrops, paper pom poms, streamers, tassels, banners, confetti, piñatas, and more. Michaels offers a wide assortment of balloons and party supplies to fit any theme or celebration. It’s truly your one-stop shop for all your party needs.

3. Feed the guests.

When you’re hosting a kids party, it’s important to keep in mind who the guests are: children. Instead of going crazy with charcuterie boards and deluxe desserts, focus on kid-friendly treats, like pizza and birthday cake. Want to amp it up with a little more sugar? Michaels has a wide variety of baking supplies, so you can decorate cakes, cupcakes, or cookies for an extra sweet celebration.

4. Don’t forget favors.

Goody bags and party favors are common at kids birthdays, so if you don’t want kids to leave empty-handed, pick up some on-theme favors at Michaels. It has all sorts of children’s favorites, such as squishy toys, sunglasses, mini coloring books, and fidget toys.

Hosting a one-of-a-kind kids birthday party doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By choosing a theme, adding festive decorations, serving kid-friendly treats, and offering fun party favors, you can create a celebration all the kids will be raving about. Michaels offers a wide variety of balloons and party supplies, both in-store and online, making it the ultimate destination for creating and celebrating.
