Garden party
If it’s a nice day, take things outdoors. Please make sure the kids have hats and sunblock and get them to play with each other in the garden. Hire them some inflatables like a bouncy castle and watch them jump for joy.

Three-esta
Buy a fiesta party kit off Amazon and decorate the backyard with a Mexican theme. Get a pinata and help the kids smash it to bits to get the candy and prizes inside. Set up tables with decorations like paper flowers, maracas, and sombreros. Make a taco bar as part of the food spread and serve some sangria to the adults while they watch the kids have fun.
Bubble Party
A bubble party is a fun way to spend a nice afternoon outdoors. Get bubble kits in different sizes and hire a machine to blow tons of bubbles everywhere. Watch as the kids run around in glee, popping bubbles. Set up a bubble station with large wire hoops and fill a small inflatable pool with dishwasher soap, sugar mixture, and water.
Dinosaur
A dinosaur theme is a great way to celebrate the day. Buy a t-rex costume and wear it to the party. Your kids won’t know you’re not a real dinosaur! Place dinosaur toys around the venue and give them a dinosaur-themed cake.
