Have a kids’ birthday party to plan?
Follow our easy week-by-week checklist to stay organised, stress-free, and ready to create unforgettable moments. Planning a celebration should be as joyful as the day itself and this guide was made to help you enjoy every step of the process, from the first idea to the final balloon.
CHOOSE PARTY THEME
This is the most important first step, and the most fun! Sit with your child and let them dream. What makes their eyes sparkle right now? Mermaids, dinosaurs, football, unicorns, or a picnic in the garden, whatever they love most should guide the party. We’ve included a selection of imaginative, meaningful and original themes to help you plan a celebration that feels personal, memorable, and full of heart.
BUY THE PARTY DECORATIONS
Bring the Theme to Life
Now that you’ve chosen your theme, it’s time to have fun with the decor!
Start by setting the mood, a birthday banner or party garland , customised itens instantly transforms any space and adds that wow factor little guests adore!
From there, build your table setting around the same theme: plates, cups, napkins, and little details that make the table feel special and cohesive. Think textures, colours, and small surprises that bring joy and curiosity.
At Pakopi, we believe every party should tell a story and this is where it begins.
SEND INVITATIONS
Children’s diaries fill up faster than you’d imagine, playdates, school events, family weekends! That’s why it’s best to send out your party invitations around a month before the big day, giving everyone plenty of time to save the date.
To make it extra special, choose from our collection of customisable party invitations, available to download, print, or send digitally. Each design captures the spirit of childhood joy, from ballet dreams to dinosaur adventures, so you’re sure to find one that fits your little one’s theme perfectly.
Because at Pakopi, every celebration begins with a beautiful invitation, the first spark of excitement that sets the tone for the memories to come.
