1. Which video game to choose for the party?
This is a topic you probably don’t know much about; but there are a huge amount of video games, from the simplest ones like Free Fire, Minecraft and Battle Royale to the most complicated ones in terms of technique and graphics like League of Legends, Valorant, FIFA and more; and every day more video games are coming out in the market. Chances are your child won’t play just one game, so it’s best to ask him or her which game he or she would like to play at a party. If you’re planning a surprise party, you can enlist the help of a friend to ask him what his favorite game is, or you can do it yourself without specifying that it’s for a party.
2. Make a list and hand out video game themed invitations.
Once you’ve chosen which video game to use for your party theme, you’ll need to make a guest list. Remember that the party is not for you. Many parents make the mistake of inviting friends and co-workers that their children don’t even know and worse yet don’t even have children. The party is for your son or daughter; therefore, you should prioritize their friends, schoolmates and neighbors who are the same age. If they share tastes in video games it will be even better. Deliver these invitations 2 to 3 weeks before the party date so that as many people as possible can attend. Here are some video game themed invitations you can find on Amazon.
3. Make a decoration of the chosen video game
This point is very important, how will the guests know it’s a videogame party? For the decoration. You will have to search a little bit on the internet about the game your child plays so you can look for the decoration. You can also search Amazon for some video game themed decorating kits or banners. Here are some of them.
4. Find a video game costume for the birthday boy or girl.
What would you think if your child dressed up as a character from his or her favorite video game? You will probably have to check this with the birthday boy or girl as well. If he doesn’t agree, you can look for a more discreet outfit like a shirt from the video game or something similar. Here are some ideas you’ll find on Amazon.
5. Buy a themed cake
No matter where in the world you are, nowadays, almost every bakery offers themed cakes. The bakeries have their own catalogs; but if you want you can search for some beautiful designs on Pinterest and take it to your favorite bakery to quote it and buy that dream cake. Ideally you should bring about three designs in case your bakery can’t make one for you, so you have a couple more options.
6. Buy a themed piñata
Piñatas are not mandatory. In fact, many children like piñatas less and less as they get older. Ideally, you should discuss this with your child. If you decide to buy a piñata, remember that it should be a video game themed one. You’ll also find some great piñata ideas on Pinterest that you can order from your favorite piñata store.
7. Hire an entertainment service for your video game birthday party.
It is very important that you think about all the details before the party, but you should not neglect what will happen during the party. Therefore, it is important that you hire an entertainment service for your party. Fabiola’s Kids Party packages can include face painting, slimes, age-appropriate games and games for the parents so they don’t miss out on the fun. If you want to know more, you can contact us here.
