Do you fancy a reminder of the prehistoric past in your next celebration? Make your next party extra special by throwing a prehistoric-themed extravaganza! Planning the perfect dinosaur-themed party is easy if you know what to do.
Choosing the Right Venue for Your Dinosaur Party
First and foremost, you need to decide on the right venue for your dinosaur-themed bash. When planning a dinosaur party, a private venue is often the best choice as you will have greater control over layout and decorations. When you have picked your venue, you can also start to plan out any activities and games you would like to include. If you’re tight on budget and space, consider using your own backyard instead.
When selecting a venue, make sure to consider the size of your guest list and the age of the attendees. If you are hosting a party for younger children, you may want to look for a venue with plenty of outdoor space for running around and playing games. If you are hosting a party for adults, you may want to look for a venue with a bar or lounge area. Additionally, make sure to check the venue’s policies on decorations and noise levels.
Crafting Creative Invitations for Your Dinosaur Theme
Next, craft some creative invitations for your guests to set the mood for your Jurassic-inspired soiree. You can opt to design your own with paper and ink or you can find pre-made dinosaur-themed invites online. You can even get dinosaur masks for each guest to get them excited about the upcoming event. Don’t forget to include any important details such as timings, dietary requirements and what they should bring, if anything.
Selecting Delicious Food and Drinks for Your Dinosaur Party
Before the big day arrives, decide on the food and drinks you plan to offer. Keep things light and delicious, like a selection of paleo vegan snacks and cocktails in vibrant, dinosaur themed colors—after all, nothing says “dinosaur” like a pint of luminous green margaritas! Picnic baskets are a great way to offer food that’s portable and easy to take around. You can also add some pre-made dinosaurs out of fondant or chocolate to top them off. Perfect for a Jurassic-inspired treat!
Decorating the Space in a Dinosaur Themed Way
Decorating your dinosaur-themed party is one of the most fun aspects of the whole event. You can buy some awesome dinosaur decorations online or put your crafting skills to work with some DIY projects. On tables, pop in some small plastic dinosaurs and spread out some colorful crepe paper streamers or dinosaur plates and cups. A large inflatable T-Rex could also be a fun addition and will be sure to spark a few oohs and aahs! For the walls, spruce things up with some themed signs like “Welcome to Jurassic Park” or anything else that takes your fancy.
Planning Fun Activities for All Ages at the Dinosaur Party
Kids will absolutely love fossil digging where they can pretend to find dinosaur bones—all while having fun. You could also enlist an expert to come in and teach children about dinosaurs, or even more active games like tag and hide and seek. For the adults, why not turn up the music and have a dance competition where boogieing Jurassic creatures take over!
Making Sure Guests Have a Memorable Time at Your Dinosaur Party
To make sure that everyone has a memorable experience, create goodie bags filled with fun items like snacks, dinosaur figurines and even stickered cards as activities for everyone at the party. For something really special, you can consider customizing each bag with each guest’s favorite dinosaur or a unique take away that’s unique only to your gathering.
Shopping for Bargain Supplies to Throw a Budget Friendly Dinosaur Party
Don’t break the bank when planning your dinosaur-themed party—it can be done on a budget! Try shopping at dollar stores or thrift shops for decorations and supplies. Bulk orders are also key—if you plan to order several items together, you can usually get them for a fraction of the cost you would pay individually.
Clean Up Tips for After Your Dinosaur Themed Bash
Clean-up after the party might seem daunting, but an organized plan will make it much easier. Make sure to have several garbage cans available and assign volunteer helpers to de-clutter when needed. As soon as everyone has left, start clearing out the decorations and putting away food. Delegate tasks if needed, but make sure that all the used items are put back in their place so that clean-up goes as smooth as possible.
Making Sure You Enjoy Yourself at the Perfect Dinosaur Themed Party
Most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy yourself! Spend time talking with your guests, catching up and enjoying the moment. The time and effort you spent planning your dinosaur-themed bash will come off if everyone else is enjoying it. So make sure that you enjoy this special occasion too.
