BIRTHDAYTHEMES

If your child is set on a different birthday theme, that is totally ok too! Guests are welcome to bring in their own additional decorations to bring a specific birthday party theme to life. Whether it’s robots or sports, mermaids, aliens, superheroes, firefighters, puppies or dinosaurs, your little one's favorite things can come to life at Chuck E. Cheese. In order to choose a theme for a birthday party that will inspire smiles and imaginative play, just talk to your child about what he or she is interested in, consider how they spend their downtime, what they color or draw, what they talk about and how they play with their friends. It will all inform the party plan - and make your little one's celebration one to remember.

Decorate the table with table cloths, napkins and streamers that match your birthday party theme, then attach colorful capes to the backs of each chair. Make sure they're easy to remove so that your guests can wear them during the party, then take them home. Once settled, give each child the chance to tell everyone at the table about what kind of superhero they'd like to be, and what type of powers they'd like to have - and see where their imaginations take them. Instead of cake, serve cupcakes decorated with a wide variety of action figures (which your guests can also take home as party favors)

Sports party themes are always popular - and for good reason: they're fun, and easy to execute. Play our football games and for party favors, give each child a team t-shirt, or have custom printed team shirts featuring your child's name and age. After lunch, continue your party's theme by asking your guests some kid-friendly sports trivia questions, and giving them plenty of time to play.
