It was quite a tough task for me to list down some good birthday party ideas for girls as i have hardly attended only two girls birthday party.
But yesterday when i got a mail from a woman who was asking me about some good suggestions for her young daughter’s birthday party, then i thought to give it a try. I research over few places and ask other people’s personal experience for this.
So with a bit of some efforts from my side, i was able to make a huge list of ideas from party themes to decorations to games to activities.
Initially, i was a bit skeptical about whether should i write on this topic or not but as soon as i started researching over, i found that it is the most interesting topic that i was postponing from quite a long time.
There is always some special thing about writing it for kids and as today the topic is on girls then i am half way more excited for this as you all are. So let me come to the point, as what i have for you here.
Here i will give you ideas and suggestions for almost like everything that you need to make the party awesome and memorable. I will give you ideas for.
- Themes
- Decorations
- Games
- Activities
- Venues
With all these ideas you will be able to make a perfect birthday plan for our princess.
Birthday party ideas for girls
Below you will find all the ideas that will help you plan an awesome birthday party for any girl. These ideas are shortlisted after researching over many forums and also asking few people who have experience of planning a girl’s birthday party. So stay tuned there is a lot more to come.
1. Fashion queens
This is a very interesting activity which girls would love to get involved in. This activity is based on girls interest and thus they will enjoy every bit of it.
In this activity you have to divide the girls into teams and give them fashion props (dresses, makeup-kit, high heels, lipstick, nail paint, etc.). Let suppose there are 12 girls and you have divided them into 4 groups that means 3 in one group.
So what they have to do is, one will be model and the other two will help her make the best looking possible in sense of fashion. Give them a time limit to make it more interesting.
That means they have to prepare themselves within the certain period of time. At the end, the model of each team will come on stage and just give a ramp walk to show how she has been styled.
The birthday girl will be a judge and will decide who is looking more fashionable and stylish and thus the winner will be decided. This activity will involve all guests and also centered around the birthday girl as she will be the judge.
2. Drama Box
Divide the guests into teams. Let me explain it with 14 participants for example. Divide the 14 participants into 7 teams that means each team will have two members.
Now for this game you must have equal no. of boxes with some props in it. That means if there are 7 teams then you must have 7 boxes, each with different props.
Give each team one box and let them open up the props. After they open up all the props give them some time to prepare an interesting skit based on the props they get and you can make the birthday girl judge.
3. Instagram inspired themes
These days even young kids are also up to date in the app world and the biggest example is Instagram. Yesterday i checked one tag, where i found a profile of a cute young girl( she must be around 10). Her profile was full of her pictures.
Then i thought this can be a source of inspiration for the theme too. Instantly i opened up the browser and found that yes there is already an Insta-inspired theme, specially for girls.
In this theme, you can have all decorative materials inspired by Instagram (i.e pictures, its logo, dummy camera, etc..). Cake can also be designed in a shape of the Instagram logo.

4. Alice in Wonderland
The name in itself is so fascinating to girls. If you know about the Disney animated musical fantasy flick released in 1951 that is still in for the girls of today’s generation.
This theme is full of colors and decorations as you can see in the movie as well and you will get to know how delightful it seems, all the frames of the movie with different colors.
For this theme, you can do a lot of things like arranging some activity or skit related to the movie itself. You can have some candies and cookies as the treasure of this wonderland party. You can invite all cute kids in get up of all the characters of the movie to make the party more happening.
5. Why not a sleep over party
I still remember my childhood days whenever i used to get permission for sleepover parties from my parents, i can’t explain it in words, how i use to feel like.
I know kids love sleepover parties so why don’t you allow your daughter and her friends to have a sleepover party in the house. I am so sure about it that she will love you for this and her birthday will be memorable.
You can arrange games for the sleep over party or you can arrange the music system in the room where they can dance and enjoy.
6. Vintage Girlie Superhero Party
You must be thinking that this theme sounds interesting, yes it is. Is she more influenced by cartoon characters or heroic characters, if so then you got to have this theme in your list. This theme is all about having the fantasy world let in the party and have girls to be part of it.
For this theme, you can arrange for some games related to superhero women or some activities where they can involve themselves as superheroes.
7. Cake decoration
Let the cake be very impressive to the girl. There are many things you can do about it. Do you know what is her favorite thing, does she love cartoons, does she love music or is she a fan of a celebrity. If you know what she is more interested in, then why don’t you decorate the cake inspired from it.
For example, if she is a big fan of lady gaga then you can get the cake to be decorated inspired from lady gaga.
If she loves barbie dolls then you can get it done around that it. With all this done you can also use the cake top as the no. of years she will be on her coming birthday.
8. Minute to win it games
I always recommend a minute to win it games specially for kids as this kind of games are very exciting to be played and also they are interesting, fun and thrilling also. If you have seen the TV series of Minute to win it then you might have got what i am talking about.
There are several minutes to win it games, you can pick any which you think is perfect suitable for the girls. These kind of games are easy to play and are meant to be completed in a time limit of sixty seconds that makes it more fun and thrilling.
- Here is a huge list of minute to win it games that you would like to check out.
9. City tour party
We all do house parties but have you ever thought about a city tour party. Can you imagine how excited the kids will be to roam around the city.
Recently i have written a post where i have shared the same ideas for the young kids and surprisingly many parents replied with a positive response for the same.
So for this what you can do is, book an open bus for the young girls or if the open bus is not possible then you can go for the normal bus used for picnics. Plan few destination places for the city tour ( places that are really interesting to them).
Let them enjoy the travel also in the bus with music, small games and activities. Believe me they will remember this day for years and thus it makes the day memorable.
10. Barbie girl theme party
If she loves barbie girl then let the theme be inspired from barbie girl. I have found that many small girls like barbie girl dolls. Recently i went to my friend’s house, my friend has a cute little daughter.
When i entered her room it was full of dolls, mostly barbie. She loves dolls and she was telling me all kind of dolls she have. Although i didn’t understand anything but one thing was clear that small girls like dolls and specially barbie girl dolls.
So if you think she also loves dolls then give this theme a chance, i am sure other girls would also love this themed party. You can decorate the venue with ribbons, banners, etc. and make it barbie land. Let them feel the world of barbie.

Another way the girls can enjoy their birthday is going on a movie day out to the nearby theatre and watch their favorite movie. Popcorns, drinks and laughter would be their companion.
This is another way to help them bond with their friends. You may be working parents so this way nothing has to be arranged or planned for the birthday, and growing girls always prefer to have or do things themselves.
So just talk to the birthday lady beforehand and once she agrees just give her enough cash so that she can invite few of her favourite girl gang for the movie day out.
Let feel that she is not a young lady who can take her own responsibility and enjoy her special day with her friends watching her favorite movie.
