Your child deserves a great party. But, not just any party; you want a really fun and unique dress up party. Perhaps you just need some ideas to point you in the right direction.

How about a ‘Diva on the Red Carpet’ party. Have all your daughter’s friends where there sparkliest sensations with all the fancy accessories their dress up trunks have been hiding. High heels are a must, but have them bring some play shoes as well.

You could consider a Strange Costume Party for your son. You could ask that all the children come wearing their strangest conglomerations, whether they pull something together at home or hit the thrift store for some freaky finds. Either way, the pictures from your son’s birthday party will bring laughs for years.

Girls love dreaming about weddings. Have a wedding theme birthday party complete with 3-tiered cake (whether you make it yourself or have it made). Your daughter could be the bride and could ask her friends to come dressed as either bridesmaids or flower girls. Or, they could all be brides and have a bridal show in the backyard.

Another idea for boys would be a movie theme party. Whether your son likes Kung Fu Panda or Nacho Libre, you could have a very unique and truly fun costume party if everyone dressed up as one of the characters from your child’s favorite movie.

Just make sure you get your child’s stamp of approval on whatever theme you pick. Even for surprise parties, you could do this in a round-about way. All your kid’s friends will be talking about the unusual and fun dress up party you hosted for your child’s birthday!
