Themed Birthday Party Supplies

Birthday parties are a big deal. While you could just order pizza, buy a few balloons and generic "Happy Birthday" signs, the thoughtful planner will make it into a fun theme party with birthday party supplies that follow accordingly.

You can purchase birthday party supplies at Party City or Coolest-kid-birthday-parties.com, which also offer clues about kids birthday and adult birthday themes. For instance, some popular kids themes include: Harry Potter, undersea, princesses, pirates, dinosaurs, fiesta, western, army and safari. Popular adult themes are: 1920s, 1950s, 1970s, mardi gras, Victorian ball, luau, western and casino. Sometimes your guests will appreciate a simple theme, with costumes that merely involve silly hats or masquerade masks. Theme is your key to finding decorations and deciding which food to serve.

For kids parties, your best bet is sheet pizza and munchies or a little home cooking. If you're throwing a theme party, there are tons of themed food ideas for kids parties at Coolest-kid-birthday-parties.com. For a superhero theme, you might serve "Superhero sandwiches", "Green Goblin guacamole" and "Penguin Tuna Salad". For a circus theme, you might want corndogs, nachos, clown face dip and animal shaped sandwiches. For adult theme parties, you might choose catering from Subway or a Chinese Buffet to save money. If you want something a little more eloquent, Foodnetwork.com has great recipe suggestions. Also, for adult birthday party supplies, you'll certainly want to include alcohol and special drink recipes. Jello shots, Mint Juleps, Sake, Martinis, Margaritas and Kahlua-with-coffee make great treats for your guests.

For partyware, Orientaltrading.com, Partysupplydirect.com or Party City offer deals on birthday party supplies like bulk plates, cups and silverware. Your best bet if planning a large celebration is to purchase solid tableware and spice up the decorating in other areas, like tablecloths or props. While eight themed dinner plates are only $2.50, imagine spending just as much on napkins, cake plates and cups; and if you have fifty or more guests coming, that stuff can really add up!

Once you've chosen your theme, you can get really creative when it comes to decorating. At Coolest-kid-birthday-parties.com, you can get tips on decorating for a pirate party that include: treasure chests, fishing nets, treasure maps, "Enter At Yer Own Risk" signs, photo opp. pirate ship cut-outs and water gossamers. After all, finding creative birthday party supplies doesn't have to break the bank.

Celebrateexpress.com is an invaluable decorating resource where you can purchase all-in-one kits from a variety of kids birthday party themes for $30 - $150. With the $30 Harry Potter pack, you'll serve a party of eight with: invitations, thank-you notes, dinner plates, napkins, cups, utensils, activity place-mats, balloons, ribbons, three color streamers and cake candles. Additionally, if you want to add favors, you can get tattoos, stuffed animals, stickers, gift boxes, wands and glasses for $5/kid.

For adult party themes, Party City sells theme party items separately or Birthdayzbyshindigz.com will provide you with decorating kits that include plates, napkins, cutlery and tablecloths for $17 in Vintage Hawaiian theme.

Birthday party supplies reveal a hint of the host's creativity and personal style. Both children and adults love a good opportunity to dress up and have some fun, so carefully consider theme, food and decorations -- but also, don't forget the music and the party favors for extra ambiance!
