"Looking for coolest army party ideas?
We've got it ALL here!"

Operation F.U.N!

Here are some festive and inexpensive ways to throw your deserving child a unique army birthday party to be remembered by all!

All of your guests will certainly love it, especially the young boys who have outgrown the likes of cartoon characters and action figures.

Invitations

For great army birthday party ideas for kids, use camouflage colored paper with matching envelopes. A dog tag for each guest can be included in the invitation.

On the front of the card, include military themed pictures such as tanks and airplanes. Underneath the pictures write "You are asked to perform a top secret mission."

On the inside you can write "Private (birthday child's name) is turning X years old. Your mission: To arrive at (your address) at (time-you can include both army time and regular time) for an afternoon of fun and adventure. Be sure to bring your ID and wear battle gear!"

To seal the envelope shut, glue on army logo buttons. Buttons of the American flag or foam shapes also work great.

Decorations

Army birthday party decorations can start outside to make your house easier to find.

American flags and balloons can follow up the driveway. In the party area, include a special forces personalized birthday banner across the room with a camouflage tent and tunnel to get the fun started while you are waiting for the other soldiers to arrive. Netting or army tents can be used to transform the room into a giant army tent.

You can also add a few potted tropical trees outside and in the party area to give the room a "jungle feel." The jungle area also works great to take memorable birthday pictures. To add to the army theme for pictures, you can purchase army helmets and bandanas for the kids that go along great with their dog tags.

Don't forget decorations for the mess hall!

The Special Forces deluxe party pack has everything you need. It has great plates, cups, and cutlery perfect for carrying on the army theme. They can be further set of with terrific army themed place mats. The centerpiece, curling ribbon, and confetti work great to spice up the army tablecloth included in the pack.

A Mylar balloon can then be tied to the birthday child's chair. The pack also includes 24 balloons and 2 rolls of crepe paper to spice up the room.

Costumes

One of the coolest birthday party ideas for kids is to have guests come wearing all black or tan colored clothing and bring their favorite army items. For the birthday child, try a realistic looking army soldier costume, Special Forces costume or a delta force soldier costume. Face paint can be used to finish off the effect.

Food and Drink

Army Badge Cake

Use cake mixes in a large round and a 9x13 cake pan. Once they have cooled, place the round cake on the center of the cake board. (Be sure to trim the top flat so that it lies even on the board and save the scraps for later.) Then, cut the 9x13 in half and cut out the wings of the badge for each side. The entire cake can then be covered in cream-colored icing.

To make the wing designs, use black icing and a fine round tip to mark out the details as your birthday party ideas for kids.

For the star in the center of the round cake, gently mark out the star shape in the cream-colored icing. The star shape can then be filled in with the star tip and yellow icing. The words "Happy Birthday Private (Your kid's name)" can be scripted across the star. The Special Forces deluxe pack has awesome cake candles and other birthday party ideas for kids to finish it off.

Party Food

Hotdogs and Kraft dinner can be the soldier's meal of choice. For a treat, chips can be separated and wrapped into tin foil "army ration" packets. A glass bowl looks great filled with army colors or red, white, and blue.

Party Favors

Party favors and gift bags are the hosts special way of saying "thank you" and leave the guests with a token of the event.

Purchase or create dog tags for your guests to replace nametags on treat bags.  Decorate and fill bags with army trinkets. 

Many party supply websites, supply stores, or general stores carry a large range of novelty items that could be tied into an army theme.  Purchase a pack of camouflaged pencils and divide them out, include little notebooks or notepads and personalize them with a "Top Secret Orders" cover, add in some candy, a few balloons if the age is apporpriate and you have yourself an official army gift bag!
