(6.) Summer vibes
Got a child whose birthday falls in the summer? Can't afford to celebrate in a resort? Is a pool party out of the question? Why not take the beach home instead?

And don't even think about buying several mason jars for this type of craft. You may have some empty jars of fruit preserves, jam, mayonnaise, or pickle relish lying around the house.
(7.) Paint and sip
A paint-and-sip themed birthday party is good for an intimate setting with a limited number of guests. It also works well for both boys and girls.
You can just serve a platter of sandwiches, fried chicken, pasta, and ice cold orange juice or lemonade to your guests.

Take a poll among your child's friends to know what coloring pages they want. Is it their favorite cartoon, comic strip, or video game character?
(12.) Sports-themed party
While a lot of boys will surely welcome the thought of having a sports-themed birthday party, don't be surprised if physically active or athletic girls might hint at it, too.
You can decorate your home to look like the Superbowl weekend or the NBA Finals.
