Travel theme birthday parties offer hours of enjoyment.
Travel theme birthday parties provide a venue that allows you to draw from different cultures around the world. You can choose one particular destination to focus on or tie in several. The guest of honor and invited friends and family will enjoy the different colors, flavors and festivities at the party. Does this Spark an idea?
College Bound
Vintage suitcases can be used as birthday party decor.
For the child who is turning 18, consider throwing a bon voyage party. Decorate with vintage luggage, hat boxes, trunks and hand-made postage stickers. Encourage guests to bring gifts that can be used in travel such as suitcases, make-up bags, towel sets and more. If the birthday girl has been accepted to college, use the school's team mascot and slogans in the decor as well. After all, turning 18 is the beginning of a new era in your child's life. Highlight all she has to look forward to in her first travels away from home.
Marco Polo
Travel the world at your next birthday party.
Marco Polo is a game that has been enjoyed by children for decades. Center your travel theme on this fun game at your next birthday party. Decorate with inflatable globes that can be hung from the ceiling. Hang maps on the walls and use them later in geography games with push pins when children try to locate capitals and countries.
In a twist on the game of Marco Polo, give clues about certain countries or regions and allow the children to guess where you are. Create stations where children can make flags representing countries they have been to or hope to visit with butcher paper, markers, glue and dowel rods. Offer snacks that are popular in various countries such as baklava, pumpernickel bread, miniature burritos and scones. See if the children can guess where the snacks hail from, or set them on a round table with small placards stating the country name. This party provides an opportunity for children to learn while they have hours of fun.
Favorite Country
Center your next birthday party around your guest of honor's favorite cuisine. If he can live on salsa and hot chili peppers, build the party on a Spanish or Mexican Fiesta theme. Serve tacos and guacamole and use sombreros and colorful serapes as decorations. For the person that craves pasta, give him an Italian party he will not soon forget. Serve pizza and pasta to guests. Instead of a traditional birthday cake, consider an Italian ricotta cheese cake.
