Some of the most memorable parties come from slightly unusual requests: a child obsessed with numbers, one who wants to be a chef, one who loves robots. These parties tend to be the ones guests talk about longest.
Themes built around an activity
- MasterChef: aprons, chef hats and a real cooking challenge
- Art party: easels, smocks and a collaborative canvas
- Mathemagic: puzzles, number games and a magic show
- Robots: building stations, circuits and a robot dance-off
- Lego: build zones and creation challenges
Themes built around a feeling
- Memphis pop: bold 80s shapes and colour
- Whimsical California: sunshine, surf and road-trip vibes
- Monster party: friendly monsters, silly faces and glow
- Hot air balloon: adventure and wanderlust
- Sunshine: happy, bright and warm
Why these work so well
Activity themes give children something to do from the moment they arrive, which is exactly what parents say they want more of. They also suit mixed ages and mixed genders, because they aren’t tied to a character.
Make up your own
If your child has a passion that isn’t on any list, from trains to volcanoes to ballet, we can design a theme around it. That’s the heart of a personalised theme. Tell us what they love.
