Four Fabulous Indoor Birthday Party Ideas
For those of you with children born in the cold winter months or rainy seasons, you may find yourself in need of a few indoor birthday party ideas. Birthday parties at restaurants get boring and costly after time yet you still want to throw some kind of great party that will be memorable and allow your child to feel very special.
Slumber Party
Young girl indoor birthday party ideas seem to require a bit more planning and attention to detail so this is a perfect party for your daughter whether she is an adolescent or a teenager. Rent two connecting rooms at a fairly nice but not too expensive hotel that offers an indoor pool and possibly a breakfast buffet. The girls can spend the afternoon swimming and then hang out in their room later. Movies can be ordered from the hotel's satellite system and of course you can order pizza and even have flowers and a cake delivered to their room. Then, in the morning they can have breakfast at the buffet if one is available, if not perhaps a friend or relative will deliver fresh bagels to you. All of the girls sleep in one room together and you sleep in the joining room so they still have their privacy but you are close by if you are needed. This is really great also because there is no clean up involved.
Sports Party
Boys tend to be pleased a bit easier so indoor birthday party ideas are relatively inexpensive, especially if you have a bit of imagination. You can easily make a baseball themed party. Invitations can be designed on a computer to look like ball game tickets and you can make a baseball card bingo game, of course be sure the birthday boy gets the winning card. Rent a few sports related and age appropriate movies and serve hot dogs wrapped up in aluminum foil, packages of peanuts, popcorn and root-beer from the bottle. Young boys love these parties, the clean up however may require a bit of patience.
Dress Up Party
The next great girl party idea on the indoor birthday party ideas list is fun not only for the girls, but also for the parents who get to have the pleasure of dressing them as well. All of the young girls will adore getting dressed up with princess clothes, gloves and fake jewels. You can purchase large straw hats from the craft store along with glue, ribbons, fake flowers and even tiny birds all for a few dollars so the girls can create their own special fancy hats to take pictures in. Party favor bags can be created extremely cheap full of play jewelry, glitter nail polish, flavored Chap Stick and hair accessories. Arrange the area with fresh flowers and plastic teacups for “tea time” and serve finger food like peanut butter sandwiches cut into bite size and pretty little dishes full of fruit and whipped cream.
70s Rollerskating Party
Surprisingly, you can throw a pretty great rollerskating party on a fairly small budget, earning it a place on the indoor birthday party ideas list. Most rinks will allow up to 20, sometimes 30 people at one set price, including skate rental. You can go in early and decorate the rink with balloons and birthday signs and drop the cake off so you don't have to deal with it later. This type of party can be great for young children as long as you have enough adults volunteering to help out but it is really an ideal party for teenagers. They can dress up in 70s clothing with legwarmers and big hair and have a ton of fun. If money allows, you could purchase a few disposable cameras and allow them to float around so that everyone can take pictures randomly. Later when the pictures are developed it is a special treat again to go through them with your child and be surprised at what great memories were made.
