Kite Theme

Let’s go fly a kite!

This unique and fun theme is starting to become popular and after being inspired by some beautiful real Kite parties I thought it would be lovely to gather some ideas for this theme as we head into the warmer months! It’s a perfect one for all ages and can be styled for a boy or a girl. The best thing about this theme is being able to include some kite making and kite flying as part of your party which the children and parents are sure to enjoy!

You might also want to have a look at my Aeroplane theme post here for some cloud decorations which can work into this theme. You can also incorporate pinwheels into this theme and you can view my Pinwheel theme post here.

Any colour combination can work for this party but I’ve chosen some options in blues and whites to go with the sky/clouds colour. However if you view the amazing “Real Parties” listed at the bottom of this post you will see a lovely range of colours which could work for you!

Invitations/Printables

The invitations for this theme are so lovely I am not sure how you will be able to choose one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decorations

You could use some simple paper kites for decorations or create a paper banner in the shape of kites as well. Another idea is to create a backdrop or decorations to resemble the tail of a kite – so tying litle bows with ribbon or tissue paper onto long hanging strings.

Here are some other ideas to work in with the colour scheme of blue and white:

Cute cloud garland which would look lovely with some kites in the background:

 

 

 Tableware

This soft fabric table runner is light and airy, perfect for this theme:

Combine it with some lovely blue and white tableware:

 

 

 

 

How cute and classic are these mini swing top bottles? Just had to share them  – the perfect addition for any theme really!

 Sweet Treats

Love the little ribbon tail on this cookie cutter:

For unique cupcake toppers, these little handmade kite toppers are adorable!

Also love the idea of cloud cupcake toppers for this theme too:

Some lovely blue and white options for your wrappers:

 

These items are fantastic to serve other treats in! Perfect for chips, popcorn or even fairy floss:

 

Speaking of soft and fluffy fairy floss how about adding some to the table:

 

Scallops are such a lovely pattern, especially for a light and airy theme such as a Kite Theme:

 

 

Special Themed Items

The key ingredient for this theme is of course Kite’s! Whether you want some simple kite making kits, mini kites for favours, or a special kite for the birthday boy/girl or as a decoration, here are some to choose from:

The kids will definitely enjoy being able to make and decorate their own kite using a kit such as this one:

These would make great party favours or a quick and easy option for kites on the day:

A range of lovely designs are available from this site:

Another idea are these kites ready to be coloured in:

Why not have your birthday boy/girl create a special kite for the day ahead of time. Or if they are really young you could create a special design for them:

 

Love the vibrant colours on this kite:

How gorgeous are these 2 kites! These alone are enough to make me want to have a kite party!

 

 

A few other special treats which can feature at the party and then to the bedroom after the party:

 

Love the whimsical nature of these wall decals. They are simple enough to work into any Kite printable range you may have chosen and are wonderful for a backdrop to a table or near a Kite making/decorating area at the party:

A sweet Kite mobile as a unique feature to hang over a table:

Love all these themed party games from The Princess and the Pirate! Here is one which is so perfect for this party:

For the birthday girl, there are a number of cute Kite designs available for a lovely birthday outfit such as this sweet top:

Favours/Take home gift

Pinwheels work in well with a Kite theme and these pinwheels are even more perfect as they have a kite design printed on them:

These cute and simple wood toy favours are perfect for little hands to hold and wave around:

Of course you could send all the little one’s home with a special kite such as these mini kites:

Another great idea for a party favour is a lollipop in the colour scheme of your party:

Package your favours in one of these lovely options:

 

 

How lovely are these Kite gift tags! They provide lovely inspiration for something you may be able to make yourself:
