Themes for Boys Birthday Parties

Superhero Party Theme: Be it Batman, Superman or Spiderman, bring your child's crime fighting superheroes to life with this fun theme. The birthday party invitation can include ones which have the logos of these characters. There are many superhero invitations available online for printing. The party supplies can be coordinated with the theme. So you can pick up Spiderman cups, plates, napkins and even a special Spiderman table cloth from any of the party supplies stores. If you cannot find the superhero party supplies then pick up red and blue partyware for your Spiderman birthday theme. For the party favors you can opt for Spiderman favor boxes containing superhero stickers, pencils, toys and candies.

Race Car Party Theme: This is a great party theme for all those little NASCAR celebrities. This action packed adventure ride is sure to thrill boys in the age group of 6 to 10 years. For the party invitations you can use cutouts of cars or have graphics of race cars on the invitation. You can also choose invitations with graphics from the Disney movie Cars. The decorations should include black and white color theme and a host of checkered flags. For the party favors stock up the goodie bags with small toy cars, sunglasses, plastic keys and car stickers. Elaborate party favors allow you to get hold of the pit crew outfits with colored T-shirts and baseball caps which have car logos.

Pirate Party Theme: For a pirate party the boys can dress up as rogue, swashbuckling pirates with pirate hats, eye patches, bandannas and earrings. You can choose postcard invites with graphics of skull and cross bone for the party invitations. You can also make the invitations yourself using black stock paper folded in half and decorated with pirate stickers and cutouts. Send these invitations in old soda bottles for the added effect. For the party supplies, select pirate party tablecloths, plates and glasses. The decorations can include pirate items such as old storage chests, costume items and a cake baked in the shape of a ship. The pirate party theme is not complete without the fun pirate favors which include the inflatable swords, pirate flags and figurines.

Dinosaur Party Theme: This is my "dinoholic" nephew's favorite party theme. He somehow loved the big bad T-Rex with that hearty roar and the teeth clashing chomp. The birthday party invites can be shaped as a dinosaur head with the sharp teeth as the invite or just roll up a piece of paper and place it inside the huge "dino" plastic eggs. Decorate your room for the party in shades of brown and green to bring out the jungle effect. The party supplies have colorful graphic dinosaurs on the tablecloth, napkins, plates and the glasses. Dinosaur party stickers, notepads, pencils, figurines and dinosaur tattoo books are all great ideas for party favors.

Sports Party Theme: This list of birthday party themes would be incomplete without a sports party theme for all those baseball lovers. The invitation cards for this party theme can be shaped as soccer balls or footballs. For a baseball party choose decorations in red and white with baseball banners and balloons shaped as baseballs. Sports pattern accessories and party supplies go well with this theme. Sports party favors can include items such as stickers, a pack of baseball cards, mini sports ball toys, sports poppers and headbands.
