Elaborate Child Birthday Party Ideas
Many children's birthday parties are simple and involve little more preparation than a few decorations, games, cake, ice cream and presents. But sometimes you want to do more for your child's birthday. Maybe it's a special year such as her 16th, or maybe she's accomplished something especially impressive that year. Or maybe you're just in the mood to throw a big party. Whatever the reason, there are plenty of ways you can make your child's birthday an elaborate and unforgettable event. Does this Spark an idea?

Put on a Show
-
One of the easiest ways to host an elaborate birthday party is by hiring a professional entertainer. A magician is a popular choice, and there are many magicians who do shows for children's parties. However, if you want a really surprising magic show, find a magician who does shows for adults as well as children. He'll be more expensive, but you'll get a show that will impress the adults as well as the children. Clowns, mimes and and jugglers are other good entertainers for a children's party. If you want a show but don't want a circus, consider something like a professional storyteller. You can also hire specialized character entertainers who come dressed as a popular children's character such as a Disney princess or Winnie the Pooh. These entertainers will also lead activities and games.
Get Big Activities
-
If you don't want to hire someone to do all the entertaining, but you still want an elaborate party, consider renting games and activities. You can rent inflatable games like slides, bounce houses and obstacle courses. You can also rent interactive activities like rock-climbing walls, carnival rides and rope courses. Choose a theme for your party and pick games that work for your theme. For example, for a superhero party, you could rent a bounce house or trampoline so kids can leap tall buildings in a single bound, a bungee ride so they can fly and a bouncy boxing ring so they can defeat bad guys.

Go Somewhere

Another way to make your child's birthday memorable is by holding it at a special location. This is one of the easiest ways to organize an elaborate birthday party, because many locations have an all-inclusive birthday package you can buy, and you don't have to do any cleanup after the party. You could take your party to a water park or a theme park. You could play paintball or laser tag. If your child is interested in art, you can have a party at a pottery, paint or clay studio. Many of these have birthday packages that will allow you and your guests to create a work of art during your party. You can also go to a show such as a children's theater or puppet show.
