The best dinosaur party ideas

Throwing a kids' birthday party can take some work, but it doesn't have to be stressful. As long as you prepare plenty of time in advance, the process can actually be part of the fun. Not to mention, it'll definitely be worth it when you see the look on your little one's face.

• Invitations and guest list

Obviously, be sure to account for how many guests there will be, along with how much food and drink to provide. Additionally, make sure there are enough seats for guests to rest or dine.

To set the theme off just right, dinosaur invitations are a must. On your invitation, you should include: the name of your child; the child that they're inviting; who will be attending with the child; whether they have any dietary requirements; the date, time and location of the party; the intention behind the party; and your contact information.

• Decorations and table settings

A great touch would be to add some decoration for a bit of atmosphere. Backdrops, inflatables, banners, balloons and foliage will help to decorate the space. Sometimes, these can come in bundles to save you money. When it comes to the table, you can often buy dinosaur party supplies in packs. Napkins, plates, tablecloths and even party hats are usually included. You may even want to add your own finishing touches with confetti or centrepieces.

• Food and drink

To really impress your little guests, on theme food will go down a treat. If you're short on ideas, take a look at the video tutorial in our FAQ section. There, you'll find plenty of easy-to-follow recipes to get you started. Why not include dinosaur eggs, dino shaped sandwiches or a volcanic erupting cake on the menu to make it special?

Just don't forget to account for any allergies, intolerances or diet choices.

• Games and activities

If the weather is warm enough for them to play in the garden, you may want to involve a sandpit for them to excavate fossils in the sand. If it's during the colder months, pin the tail on the dinosaur can easily be moved indoors, too. Keep the weather in mind and plan accordingly for your space.

After the party, you may want to give your little guests a goodie bag to take away with them as a 'thank you' for attending. But, what should go into a party bag? Think dinosaur stationery, dinosaur treats or even dinosaur toys.
