Fun Ideas for Throwing a Valentine's Day-Themed Birthday Party for a Child

Last year, my daughter's birthday party had to be postponed due to illness. We decided to have her make-up birthday party the week of Valentine's Day, and it was a load of fun. If your child's birthday is close to Valentine's Day, you can throw your child a fun Valentine's birthday party using some of these fun ideas.

Valentine's Day Birthday Party Invitations

Homemade birthday party invitations are fun for kids to make. Making invitations for your child's Valentine's Day birthday party can be easy using various art supplies. Items such as red and pink construction paper, glitter glue, and special edge cutting scissors can be used to create your own homemade Valentine's Day birthday party invitations. For an extra special touch you can include heart shaped lollipops with your Valentine's Day birthday party invitations.

Valentine's Day Birthday Party Decorations

Decorating your house for a Valentine's Day birthday party can be just as fun as the birthday party itself. Here are some fun decorations you can make for your child's Valentine's Day birthday party.

Paper hearts can easily be made and make great decorations for your child's Valentine's Day birthday party. To make paper hearts fold pink and red construction paper in half and cut out the shape of half hearts from the folded side. You can make small hearts, big hearts, tall skinny hearts, and short fat hearts to create a variety of fun hearts to decorate with. We decided to hang the hearts on our entryway window using double sided sticky tape. The hearts can also be hung the same way on the walls of your birthday party room.

Happy Birthday banners can easily be made for your child's Valentine's Day birthday party. Draw heart shapes onto pink construction paper and write a letter in each heart to spell out "Happy Birthday". Punch two holes onto the top of each paper using a hole punch. Weave pink or red ribbon through the holes to create your banner and hang.
