From immersive experiences to aesthetically pleasing celebrations, get ready to step up your party game and impress your friends and family with the top party themes and activities for 2025.
Berries are all the rage again this year, specifically Cherry & Berry party themes.
Your sweet little babe can celebrate their “Berry 1st Birthday” or be “Two Sweet” and have a party full of deep reds, muted pinks, and fruit galore.
Another great theme for kids and adults alike is “Cherry on Top” which makes the best birthday, bachelorette, or baby shower theme!
Did you really think we were going to leave all things BOWS in the past?
While “bows” isn’t exactly a kids birthday party theme, it is so universal and it’s the perfect touch that can be added literally anywhere to create an eye-catching feminine effect. My favorite ways to use this girly staple are on stationary, cake toppers, or even these cute cups!
2025: the year ______ makes a comeback.
Nostalgia themed parties are gaining popularity and throwing a party inspired by the past is what all the cool kids are doing. Whether you’re hosting a 90’s throwback with neon windbreakers, furby’s, and an *NSYNC playlist (now that’s a party I’d like to attend) or a Y2K Blockbuster movie night, nostalgic themed events are sure to capture everyone’s heart.
Another party trend on the rise this year is anything nature themed. There's a big focus on the great outdoors for 2025 as people are drawn to more authentic, nature-based experiences. Some of the more popular themes are whimsical fairy 1st birthdays filled with flowers and mushrooms, nature hikes, garden tea parties, and elegant outdoor soirees.
Getting goodie bags filled with lousy trinkets that end up all over your floor (and quickly into the trash) are a thing of the past. 2025 is the year for hands-on activities. The best part? These fun-filled workshops double as party favors that your guests (and their parents) will actually want to take home and enjoy.
A party activity that’s on the rise in 2025 is creating a “build-a-bear” workshop for your guests. You can customize this experience by including the birthday boy or girls favorite animal or character. It provides a fun, interactive experience where children can personalize and create their own stuffed animal, fostering a sense of ownership and emotional connection to their unique "friend," while also promoting creativity and imagination through customization options like outfits and accessories.
And to be able to take it home and snuggle with it for years to come? That’ll be a core memory for sure.
Another fun birthday party activity for girls and boys that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon is having a sensory station. You can create your own sensory table that revolves around your party theme by using dried rice, play doh, and small themed toys or hire a local vendor to do the hard work for you.
An added bonus is that it can be beneficial for kids because it provides a calming and engaging activity in a potentially overwhelming party environment!
And it can’t be a 2025 party without some sort of customization station, am I right?
Personalizing party favors for your guest or letting them showcase their own creativity by setting up a table with chenille patches, tote bags, biker hats, denim jackets, temporary tattoos, or charm bracelets can be super engaging and a fun way to let their inner fashion designer shine!
