Make sure to have a photographer on hand to take photos of everyone’s tea party outfits! 

Tea parties are best held in a venue that’s as special as her outfit will be!

We even have themed indoor venues like this elegant dollhouse venue in Glendale, CA, that’s designed for dress-up parties and photoshoots.

And choose a menu of French food that will knock everyone’s socks off! 

4. Head outdoors for a field trip birthday

Field trips are what every student hopes for; a chance to get out of the classroom and explore! If your girl is a lover of adventures and learning then why not make field trips her birthday party theme? Start with a breakfast hike at a nearby park before heading to an adventure center to do some rock climbing, rappelling, and swimming.

5. Invite everyone’s furry friends over for a purrrfect pet party

Birthday parties don’t have to revolve around just the birthday girl and her friends. Let her invite her pup, kitten, or other pets for a day of furry fun! Pet parties should include funny hats for all of the animals that arrive, animal mask-making crafts, and snacks that are pet-themed.

6. Celebrate her birthday with an Encanto-themed party

Disney’s Encanto is an exciting movie that works well as one of the sweetest girl birthday party themes! Invite everyone to dress up as their favorite characters in the movie, the more colorfully dressed, the better! Hire a magician for some tricks, have a psychic see the future for them, and serve Colombian party foods like empanadas and sweet cocadas.

7. Unwind and relax with a spa party

Even little kids have their stressful days. Give her and her friends a day to relax like an adult with a spa party! You can easily transform an event hall with an open-concept design into a spa with some portable foot spas, hair stations, and nail tables. Invite the moms to act as technicians for some quality mother-daughter time before wellness-themed snacks and drinks are served.

8. Share her love of learning with a science party

Science birthday parties are super nerdy and we’re all for it! Kids who love chemistry, biology, and astronomy will love seeing decorations like solar systems and jarred frogs set around the venue. You can have DIY activities like making oobleck or baking soda volcanoes. Next comes food, birthday cake, and fun science movies for the day.

9. Celebrate a teen milestone with a Sweet 16 party

Sweet 16 birthdays are meant to be a little more special than the birthdays preceding it. It’s a milestone moment for little girls across the country so how about using some of our Sweet 16 party ideas to get you started?

10. Go shiny with a glow-in-the-dark party

Glow-in-the-dark parties are so much fun because you get to have a great time in a venue that’s been completely transformed by blacklights and glowing panels! Glow-in-the-dark face paint, markers for drawing, shirts that glow under blacklights, and glow sticks are what you’ll need for this theme. Don’t forget the upbeat party music and a cake decorated with glow-in-the-dark frosting.

11. Have a baking party where everyone can make something wonderful in the kitchen

Girl birthday party themes where everyone gets to make something are some of our favorites! And if they get to eat what they make, so much the better. A baking party is our recommendation for girls who love to cook. Focus on a single baked good, like cookies or muffins, so you can bake everything easily at the same time. Once baked, set out all kinds of decorations, like frosting, candy melts, and food markers, so they can make the perfect cookies or muffins to share with the birthday girl and each other.

12. Get classy and casual with a boho-chic celebration

Classy or casual is one of the first questions people ask when deciding on their party theme. Well, you can always choose both with a boho chic party! Think cozy cushions, a low table for snacks, rustic table decorations, and a Persian rug, all inside of a party loft, rental home, or backyard.

Peerspace even has venues that come pre-decorated to fit the boho chic theme, like this stunning home in Pompano Beach, FL, with a pool, fire pit, and other amazing outdoor amenities!

13. Get artsy with a DIY crafts party

How artsy is your birthday girl? A DIY arts and crafts party might be really exciting for her! Photo albums, charm bracelets, pressed flowers, finger painting…Choose a few activities you know she and her friends are most excited about and set up some art stations where they can make some inventive keepsakes together. DIY Projects has some great crafting party ideas to help you out with.

14. Add Barbie to the theme of any girl’s birthday party

Barbie parties are so much fun to plan! You can make it more of an urban chic affair with Malibu Barbie. Bring some Barbie-themed spa robes and hair ties in for a spa day. Aim for a Barbie pool or princess party…The choice is up to you and the birthday girl!

No matter what Barbie theme you choose, our Barbie party food ideas are just what you need to plan a tasty menu!

15.  Visit another world with a dinosaur party

Dinosaurs are a popular boy’s birthday party theme but there’s zero reason why girls can’t have a dinosaur party. Dinosaurs are cool, by default, for all ages and genders. So ask her what her favorite dinosaur is and if it hasn’t changed by the start of the party, set out decorations and food ideas using that dino. Our lists of dinosaur birthday party ideas and food ideas are a great resource for party planners!

16. Dress pretty in pink for her birthday party

“Pretty in pink” is a one-liner and a birthday party theme in itself! It’s one of our favorites because it’s fun for all ages. You’ll need a few banners around the venue with the theme written on them. Let everyone know on the invitations what the theme is so all of the birthday girl’s friends can come dressed to match. 

17. Fight crime with a superhero party

Fans of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Spiderwoman rejoice! This birthday girl’s party is a chance for every superwoman to show up and fight some crime. Maybe after some cake and photos first!

18. Add some magic and whimsy with a fairy party

Fairy birthday parties are another theme that’s fun for all ages. You can use fairies as a theme by itself or include other themes like an enchanted forest or garden party to include even more creativity. As much fun as the fairy decorations, venue, and food ideas are, the outfits are the best part. Fairy wings, tiaras, princess-like dresses…Maybe even hire a face painter who can add colorful touches to everyone’s fairy outfits?

19. Dance gracefully at a ballerina party

Is your girl passionate about ballet? How about a ballerina party, then? Ballerina parties are best held in an intimate boho chic venue, perhaps a dance hall that’s been decorated with pink and white cushions and other ballerina-themed touches. Let each girl wear her tutu, slippers, and leotard. And feel free to invite their teacher as well!
