Looking for some fun birthday party ideas for kids? At Tony’s Pizza, we love a party. Therefore, we’ve put together some family-friendly festivities for kids and adults to enjoy!

Four Fabulous Birthday Party Ideas

Planning a birthday party for your child gets daunting.  While you want your child and the guests to have fun, you need to make it manageable to plan as well. If you’re feeling stumped on ideas, we’d love to help. As a family-owned restaurant with kids and grandkids of our own, we’ve hosted and been to lots of fabulous children’s birthday parties.

Below, check out some easy and fun suggestions for a kid’s party.

1. Have a Pizza Party

Generally, when throwing a party, you need to decide on what to serve. As far as party food goes, pizza is nearly perfect. In fact, adults tend to dig pizza as well. Thus, everyone at the party gets to enjoy fabulous food.

Fortuitously, Tony’s Pizza has lots of pizza options, including a large 24” pizza! Or, if you want to go with numerous toppings, choose several of our smaller sized pizzas. Likewise, you can order pizzas with half-and-half toppings such as half pepperoni and half chicken.

Similarly, we have different style crusts in case someone prefers to avoid gluten. (Keep in mind, we are not a certified gluten-free facility.) Plus, we have vegan cheese if a guest has a dairy intolerance.

2. Choose a Theme

Picking a theme is a great way to make party planning easy. It makes it simple to decide what decorations to use and what games to play. Furthermore, it helps spark birthday party ideas on the design of desserts. (Speaking of desserts, we have some tasty party desserts as well!)

Fun kid’s birthday party themes include:

• Building-block party (think Legos)
• Ocean
• Nautical
• Jungle
• Pirates & princesses
• Carnival
• Circus
• Seasonal – fall, summer, spring, or winter
• Popular or favorite TV shows or movies
• Favorite or popular books
• Sports teams or events, i.e. Olympics
• Space
• Water fun – great for summer parties

Better yet, themed birthday parties for kids are great even if your child is young. After all, a theme is an excellent way to involve them a bit on deciding what type of party they want. Sometimes, they can help with creating some of the party favors and décor as well.

3.  Birthday Game Party

Not only are games great icebreakers and entertainment at birthday parties, they also help channel all that energy that guests have.

Choose from:

• Pin the tail on the donkey – you can adjust this game to match your theme. For example, put the bat in the batter’s hand for a baseball-themed party.
• Musical chairs – no matter the age of guests, this classic game is fun to watch and play.
• Scavenger hunt – this is a great bonding and team activity.
• Bingo –personalize it to the birthday child or theme.
• Birthday child trivia – fun way to personalize the party for your child.

Be sure to have fun little awards for the winners of the games as well. As a matter of fact, we sell gift cards!

4. Experience Party

Another way to create a memorable party is by providing a unique experience for guests. Consider including fun offerings like a bounce house or face painting. For older kids or teens, host something a little more complex like a murder mystery party or garden tea party. If you’re having a summer birthday party, rent or buy an inflatable water slide for unlimited fun!
