Create an at-home birthday party that will make the birthday boy or girl feel extra special! With fun e-vites, unique door decor and creative party backdrop ideas you can make this birthday one for the books! Here's how to get started.
Send out invites electronically or through Facebook so people can still join your birthday party virtually. Consider using services like Google Hangouts, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom so everyone can see the special birthday boy or girl! Whether you're throwing a Race Car Party, Taco Themed Party, Sloth Party, or Space Party, we have FREE printable invitations that you can send out physically or screenshot and send via email. See all of our Creative DIY Invitation ideas here!
Make the birthday boy or girl feel extra special with a fun door decoration on their birthday! Attach balloons to their door and include streamers hanging down so the kiddo can run through them in the morning! You can also make a simple wreath to hang on their door. We love these ideas for a Photo Wreath, Butterfly Wreath, Fiesta Wreath, Unicorn Wreath, Origami Wreath, Beach Ball Wreath, or a simple Gift Box Wreath.
While your child's birthday may be limited to household guests only this year, there are still ways to let others know that it's their special day! Add fun yard signs to your lawn so people passing by can give the birthday boy or girl a happy birthday honk. We love this Multi-Color Happy Birthday Yard Sign! Pair it with this Balloon Yard Sign to liven up any yard. Really want to make a big visual impact? Opt for this giant Happy Birthday Yard Sign! Coordinate a time with your neighbors, friends and family then set out this fun Honk It's My Birthday Yard Sign for a super simple birthday car parade.
Make the birthday boy or girl feel extra special with their very own customized cake! Whether you make a DIY cake topper or simply decorate a regular cake, they're sure to be surprised when it's time to blow out the candles. Get inspired to make a Tassel Rainbow Cake Topper, Tissue Paper Flower Cake Toppers, or create a Toy Story Drip Cake, a Chocolate Campsite Cake or a Candy Embellished Drip Cake!
Just because your party is at home doesn't mean you can't document the special day! Create a fun themed photo backdrop and take photos of your family in front of it. We can't help but feel inspired when we see backdrops like this Confetti Backdrop that calls out the birthday boy or girl's age. This simple yet statement making Streamer Backdrop isn't as hard to make as you'd think. Can we just stop and talk about this Tiki-Inspired Backdrop that's perfect for a tropical birthday party? If you want to set a whole scene, consider crafting up this fun DIY Food Truck Party Backdrop (made mostly out of paper)! This Sweet 16 Party and Emoji Party prove that paper plates are all you need to create a stunning yet simple party backdrop. Boys will love this Game Zone Backdrop that's perfect for a video game birthday party! Is your man a Lego fan? Craft up this simple Lego Batman Party Backdrop to bring his favorite characters to life.
Incorporate your birthday party theme into the desserts you serve at your celebration! Whether you decide to bake cupcakes or go for something a little bit more unique, there's always a way to customize your sweet treats. We can't get over these amazing ideas like a DIY Lego Cake, a Toucan Cake, Trolls Tie Dyed Cupcakes, Rainbow Surprise Cupcakes, Rice Krispies Dinosaur Eggs, Baseball Oreo Pops, Cookie Monster Cupcakes and Super Mario Toadstool Pops!
Break up your birthday festivities with various games and hands-on activities. Playing a simple game of Pin the Tail on the Zebra is an easy way to get kids up and moving around! Incorporate some Neon Zebra Party Slime and your kids are sure to have a blast. If you're able to take the party outside, consider setting up an outdoor activity like a Harry Potter inspired game of quidditch! This DIY Quidditch Field is the perfect way to make any Potter fan's day! Let kids feel creative by having them make their own DIY Mandrake Pots too! Do you have a child that's obsessed with having Nerf® gun battles? Create a DIY Nerf Target Range, outfit them with DIY Nerf Battle Vests & Mission Kits and let the battle begin! A Race Car Birthday Party is the perfect time to introduce hands-on activities like racing around a DIY Indoor Race Track! Whatever party activity you land on, the kids are sure to love it!
