There are several ways to choose a theme. Themes can come from a favorite character, a favorite toy etc. For 6th birthday party, you can organize a fairy party where you can decorate everything with a fairy charm. Here are some birthday party ideas for 6-year-old child:

Magic Party: If you opt for magic party theme for your child’s 6th birthday party, then you can get the kids to come dressed as magicians. Get the kids to make their own magic wand from dowels decorated with colored ribbon, glitter, paint and stickers. You can organize magic party games like hiding lots of white rabbits made from craft paper, around the house or garden. Whoever finds the most rabbits gets a prize.

 Circus Party: Ask the kids to come dressed up in either circus or any sort of carnival costume. For decoration, create different activity areas and put up large signs saying what each activity is e.g. Popcorn Stand, Toss the hoops, Restroom, Ticket Booth. You can purchase some superb cardboard cutouts or make your own out of cardboard boxes, tables, canopies, sheets etc. To make it more fun and realistic, give the kids some ticket coupons as they arrive at the party and these will be used for the games, stalls and food.

Craft Party: A craft party theme is more popular with the girls. Ask the kids not to come in their best clothes but to come dressed as artists. You can organize some craft party activities like decorating, painting, jewelry making etc and some craft party games also. You can give gifts to the kids like pencil, Craft kits, Sketchpads and pencils etc.

Step 1: Party Invitations

For invitations you want to send out something fitting of the space theme for your child’s birthday party such as a “captains log” or a blast off invite. Be sure to include all the information necessary on the card. Such as birthday party start and finish time. Birthday party address and directions. Your phone numbers just in case a guest is lost and can’t find the venue.

Step 2: Party Decorations

If your event is indoors, you may want to hang wallpaper of a black sky with stars and maybe some flying spaceships and astronauts, If your event is  outdoors, you may want to make fake space shuttles out of cardboard boxes, you can also purchase balloons to fit your theme. 

Step 3: Party Activities

As always, try to have planned activities for the kids.  Making astronaut helmets for themselves or each other is a fun activity. Have a blast off area were they can play with toy rockets and space action figures.

Step 4: Party Games

For games try to think of ideas to match the party such as a blast off game were the kids slingshot foam rockets with their names on them and whoever reaches the farthest wins. Another party game is a moon explorers scavenger hunt. in this game, the kids will try to find all the different kinds of moon rocks in your party galaxy. These would be normal rocks that you would have painted in different colors.  Hide them all over your party area. You may even chart them and give them names or powers. The possibilities are endless. 

Step 5: Party Food

Of course everyone is eventually going to be hungry, including your guest aliens.given out as space rations and the juice can be given out as extra fuel.

Step 6: Party Entertainment

For entertainment you may want to have a space shuttle or moon walk jumpy house. Jungle Joe can also beam up all your guests to the fun zone and make your party truly unforgettable. 

Step 7: Party Cake

 It’s finally time for the space captain (birthday child) to blow out the candles and for every member of the space crew to enjoy some birthday cake.A good suggestion for the cake would be a space shuttle or moon shaped cake with astronauts or small space ships on top.

Step 8: Party Favors 

Party favors or goodie bags are a great way to close the party and send all your little guests home happy. For party favors , you could stuff your space decorated bags with space toys. Or give out a jet pack that the child can use even after the party has long passed.
