Are you getting ready to plan a special birthday celebration for your little one? Consider throwing them a Baby Shark themed party! This theme has become increasingly popular lately, so why not put your own spin on it. Read on for some great tips and tricks on how to plan the perfect Baby Shark extravaganza.
Choosing a Baby Shark Theme
First, think about what kind of Baby Shark theme you want to use for the party. Do you want it to be mostly focused on the music video and its characters? Or more of a beach scene, with rainbow-colored sharks floating around in the ocean? Maybe even both! Either way, you can use streamers, banners, lemonade stands, and cake decorations with everything from kisses to bubbles to depict that Baby Shark world of fun.
Decorating Ideas for a Baby Shark Party
Start by selecting a color scheme and party décor that tie in with the Baby Shark theme. There are lots of great options available, from balloons and streamers in blues, greens and yellows, to pails and buckets painted with sharks and beach vibes. You can use decorations like paper lanterns to hang from the ceiling or paper plates and cups with ocean life designs. Don’t forget to add some extra personality with things like beach balls, inflatable pools, and beachy cups. And don’t forget to top everything off with a Baby Shark birthday banner!
Creating a Baby Shark Party Menu
When planning your menu, think “under the sea”. You can serve finger foods, like tiny sandwiches and cheese cubes shaped like fish or crabs. Have a build-your-own “shark taco” bar with fun taco toppings, or arrange cucumber and tomato “slices” on platters as if they were watermelon wedges. Let the little ones pick between blue Jell-O “water” or bubbles to quench their thirst! And of course, it wouldn’t be a Baby Shark party without a delicious cake or cupcake tower – think layered cakes with fondant sharks or tiers of cupcakes decorated with gummy sea creatures.
Finding Baby Shark-Inspired Games and Activities
Set up some fun activities for the kids to participate in, like a fishing game where they have to catch “sharks” with a rod, or have them color images of Baby Shark on paper placemats. You can also set up a treasure hunt with clues leading from one place to another that will lead them to the best prizes. Create an ocean scene photo booth with props like mermaid tails and seashells for funny photos that’ll make for lasting memories. Plus, you can even incorporate a dance-off with some catchy Baby Shark tunes.
Shopping for Baby Shark Party Supplies
Once you’ve figured out the theme and décor, it’s time to get the supplies that make a successful party. Hit up the local dollar store or discount store for paper goods like plates and cups featuring ocean animals like sharks or whales. Make use of department stores or the internet to find items like themed tablecloths and napkins, balloons shaped like seahorses or mermaids, and much more. Or you can order ready-made Baby Shark party packs online, which come complete with all of the supplies.
Tips for Making a Memorable Baby Shark Party
It’s important to focus on any special details that make the day extra special for your little one. Such as planning out some icebreaker activities for guests who aren’t already familiar with each other. Create personalized games for them. Set out a photo booth stocked with silly props for everyone to enjoy. Another great idea is to have custom themed goody bags for guests that feature unique Baby Shark items like pencils, stickers and erasers.
How to Choose the Perfect Baby Shark Birthday Cake
Cake is a big part of any celebration, so make sure your cake stands out at a Baby Shark themed party. Think of your child’s favorite characters from the show. You can even go with a two tier cake with tiers filled with coordinating flavors like blueberry and lemon. Or put together layers of different kinds of cake like chocolate and red velvet. Use ocean-inspired fondant decorations including miniature figurines of various forms of sea life or go bolder with designs featuring Baby Shark himself!
Sourcing Baby Shark-Themed Goody Bags and Favors
Don’t forget to have gifts for guests to take home after the party is over. These need not be expensive – just look for fun items like mini shark erasers, pencils, key chains and the like in themed favor bags or boxes. If you’re feeling crafty, get creative by making something cute like luau necklaces made out of colorful straws or blue sequins, or even individualized cookies shaped like sharks. Whatever you choose, it should fit into the overall Baby Shark theme.
Planning Ahead for Your Little One’s Big Day
Planning ahead is vital when it comes to hosting any event! Get organized by writing up an itinerary of activities that need to be completed before the big day arrives. When it comes to feeding the kids, make sure to ask their parents ahead of time if they have any dietary restrictions. Talk to vendors in advance to make sure they can supply you with all the supplies you need. And lastly, remember to plan a few extra activities as backups for if something unexpected comes up.
Planning a Baby Shark themed party doesn’t have to be so daunting after all – armed with these tips, you are sure to make your little one’s day one to remember! Add your own unique touches to make it truly special. Just keep in mind that whatever ideas you come up with should stay within the overall Baby Shark theme.
