Throwing a Hello Kitty birthday party requires planning and appropriately themed decorations. From the invitations to the entertainment, keeping the theme consistent is easy if you use some of the tips and girl birthday party ideas below.
Sending Invitations
Getting the guests' attention is the goal of your invitations, but they should also set the stage for the theme of the celebration. Here are a few ideas:
Choose Hello Kitty Invitations – You can purchase pink Hello Kitty invitations baring the photo of one of the world's most famous and feminine cats. Eight invites and envelopes come in a pack.
Decorate Plain Invitations – Another option is to invest in plainer and more affordable invitations then decorate them with Hello Kitty glitter stickers. The stickers can also be used to decorate party favor sacks, invitation envelopes, and balloons.
Choose Pink Invitations – Keep the theme of the party a secret by sending out plain colored invitations. Try to find pink invitations matching the color of Hello Kitty's bow.
When buying invitations for the Hello Kitty birthday party, purchase a few extras in case you make mistakes or decide to invite more people. Be sure to mail them at least two weeks before the party. Ask guests to RSVP so you know how many guests to expect.
Decorating the Party Location
On party day, the party location should be covered in Hello Kitty birthday party decorations. First, check the tables. Instead of plain white or pink tablecloths, use a Hello Kitty tablecover.
It's plastic and more durable than the paper tablecloths most people purchase. If you're on a budget, purchase one themed tablecloth for the cake table or for the birthday girl's table.
Whether you choose a themed table covering or not, the Hello Kitty centerpiece is a good idea. You could place one on every table, just one on the main table, or use them to decorate tables as guests come into the party location. Once all of the guests arrive, you can move the centerpieces into more visible locations – this will help you cut down your decorating costs.
Decorating with balloons is another good idea. Here are a few ways to use them:
Create a balloon bouquet centerpiece – Fill a small empty jar with rocks and wrap it in pink paper or foil. This is going to be the weight for your balloons. Inflate a Hello Kitty Mylar Balloon, tie pink ribbon around the bottom of the balloon and attach the string securely to the weight. Now inflate five to ten plain pink and white balloons and repeat the process. As you tie them to the weight, make sure they are lower in height than the Mylar balloon and arrange them so the Mylar balloon is always in the center.
Tie balloons to chairs – If you've created a seating chart for the party, take plain pink or white balloons, inflate them, and tie ribbon around the bottom. Now write the name of each guest on a separate balloon. Tie the balloon to the back of the guest's chair so she will easily know where to sit.
Another great option is a personalized Dots & Daisies banner. You can purchase the vinyl banners in three sizes (up to 30" X 100") and can add any message you want. The font and color of the message are also up to you.
Entertaining Guests
No Hello Kitty birthday party can be without entertainment. Some of the best girl birthday party ideas for entertainment include printable birthday games. Create a list of trivia questions about the birthday girl. Pass out paper and a pencil for each guest. Have them write down the correct answers to those questions. See which guest knows the birthday girl the best and give that person a prize.
Memory games are also fun. Get a tray or a large pizza pan. Add any type of stuffed animals, small toys, or other items you have around your home or can pick up cheaply at a store. Show the guests the tray for a couple of minutes then take it out of sight. Have guests write down each thing they can remember seeing on the tray. The most correct answers win.
Another fun party game is hitting a piñata. You can purchase a Hello Kitty piñata to keep in the theme but other designs are also available and can be fun as well.
Fill the piñata up with candy, stickers, or other treats and hang it low enough so that guests can hit it with a stick. If you don't have a stick, you can buy a cheap plastic toy baseball bat. Remember to blindfold guests before you spin them around and set them lose on the unsuspecting piñata.
Feeding Guests
After the entertainment and the opening of presents, guests expect to be fed. A birthday cake is fairly standard. You can add a Hello Kitty cake topper to keep the cake in theme if you want. The topper also comes with rings you can use to decorate the sides of the cake. This gives even a homemade cake a look of professionalism.
Soda, punch, and lemonade are good choices for beverages. You can also serve mini hot dogs (make full-size hot dogs and cut them into smaller pieces), pizza (cut the pieces in squares to make them more manageable for young guests), or mozzarella cheese sticks. Chips, pretzels, or popcorn would also be good complements to the cake.
Consider purchasing one of the Hello Kitty party supply kits if you want to serve the foods on themed plates. You save money by buying the kits.
Thanking Guests
At the end of the Hello Kitty birthday party, give each guest some type of party favor to show your appreciation for their attendance. Pastel swirl lollipops or the Hello Kitty party favor box would be good choices.
Make sure the guest of honor sends thank you cards for each of the presents she received at the party. Using Hello Kitty thank you cards might make the task more enjoyable for her and brings the party to an appropriately themed end.
