Children's parties should be fun, exciting, and enjoyable for everyone involved. While a princess themed party or a fairy themed party is all well and good, it seems that those types of parties are focusing too much on gender and may alienate little boys and even some girls. I know for a fact that little boys are often too shy to participate in a princess themed party and will often sulk around or form into little groups, preferring to play by themselves, away from all the pink confetti and balloons. 

That is why you should focus on trying something a bit more creative, picking a kids party theme that everyone can enjoy. If you are stumped, fret not, because I have compiled the best kid's party themes out there. They are great for boys and girls alike, and should bring all of your guests together for a day of fun.

The first theme is the science birthday party. A science themed party is a great way for kids to learn more about different subjects, and can be an extremely educational option. You can hire someone to teach your children some fun, safe chemistry experiments and keep them busy for the whole afternoon. This is also a great opportunity to turn your home into a miniature science laboratory, giving your child's guests their own laboratory coats, safety goggles, and gloves. Decorate the room with banners and cardboard cut into beaker shapes, and you would have yourself a smashing science themed party.

Next, we have the dinosaur themed party. Every child goes through a dinosaur phase and it is a great way for kids to act out their wildest Jurassic fantasies. A great tip would be to have a volcano shaped cake and to give out dinosaur toys as take home gifts. You can also be creative and give them activities such as "make your own fossil" using clay and moulds.

If you live in a place with wide-open spaces, you may want to hold a kite party. If the weather is windy enough, flying a kite is a fun activity for everyone involved, and can be an exciting project for everyone. If you like, you can start the party by teaching the children how to make their own kites. Once everyone is finished, you can all start making them fly. This is a great outdoor kids party idea that is perfect for those blustery autumn days. 

When choosing a theme for your children's party, try to find a theme that everyone will enjoy. These party ideas are fun and unique, and will likely prompt your guests to have unique parties of their own. It doesn't always have to be the same old thing.

Parties are a great way to mix and socialise with people. You have children's parties and you have parties for adults, and most companies have parties for their employees too. 

There are many different types of parties and each of them have a specific function. Birthday parties for example, celebrate the anniversary of a person's birth date. Celebrating a birthday is a great way to keep track of a person's age, while also making them feel special that they have been born into this world. 

In the United Kingdom, birthday parties often include a birthday cake and balloons. However, a birthday party can be celebrated in a number of ways, and the celebrant can invite both family and friends to the celebration.

Next we have the surprise party. The surprise party is any party that is kept secret from the person of honour, but is revealed the moment he walks in. Surprise parties often make use of an element of shock, by including colourful streamers, party poppers, and balloons. The decorations are kept hidden from the outside, so that that the surprise is not spoiled before the person of honour arrives. Surprise parties are a popular option for birthdays.

Next you have the dinner party. Dinner parties often have muted decorations or none at all. Some decorations are kept exclusively on the table. Dinner parties are sit down parties where all the partygoers sit down to have an evening meal together. The host serves food, but some dinner parties may be potluck. Dinner parties are often considered formal events, and men and women wear their best outfits. 

Cocktail parties are great for larger groups of people. They can be formal or semi-formal, and are characterised by finger foods and drinks. Women at cocktail parties will often wear cocktail dresses. A cocktail dress is a formal or semi-formal dress that is shorter than the standard evening gown.

Tea parties are popular among English women. Tea parties often serve afternoon tea and can feature snacks such as sandwiches, muffins, and cakes. Tea is served in a pot and the host pours for her guests. Tea parties are often formal or semi-formal and the tables are dressed up with the finest lace and fabrics. Lace doilies and napkins coupled with fine china are preferred.

There are many other types of parties, but these parties are some of the most common in the UK and are steeped in years of tradition and history.
