Best Girls Birthday Party Ideas
1 — Frozen Birthday Party
The cold never bothered us anyways, and this unique spin on Arandale was a HUGE hit for our Frozen birthday party.
The combination of pastels and iridescent shimmer play into the winter wonderland while keeping it fun and sparkly which is sure to please even Elsa herself.
We shied away from all the Frozen branded party supplies, and instead, stuck to a snow theme and even hacked a grocery store cake.
2 — Strawberry Party
This strawberry party is sweet as pie. The colors are so whimsical and fun.
And the DIY aspects of the tablecloth and the hanging strawberries totally won us over. Plus, we love how this generic theme can work for any age, even teens.
Adult party guests 21 and up can enjoy our strawberry bellini or our strawberry hibiscus cooler.
3 — Princess Party
Princess parties are perhaps some of the most popular amongst girl party ideas. Castles, tiaras and the princesses’ favorite snacks are all that are needed to throw this perfect party together.
You could have princess dress up options or even a special surprise from a princess to come read stories and wish the birthday girl a very happy birthday.
4 — Unicorn Themed Birthday Party
A magical girl deserves a magical unicorn party, and these pastels are just that…straight magic.
Simple sprinkles, rainbows and unicorns are the perfect pairing to create magical memories at home for your best girl and all her special friends (on a budget).
Pair with our unicorn cake for some extra delicious magic.
5 — Minnie Mouse Birthday Party
We love a good spin on a classic, and this Minnie Mouse party is no exception. Taking a popular character, like Minnie and putting your own unique spin on things to fit your birthday girl is a great option.
Balloon arches, florals and simple yummy treats elevate this classic character party to the next level.
6 — Ice Cream Party Theme
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. And that’s just what your girls will do with this precious ice cream party. Full of color and fun, the ice cream pinata is our absolute favorite!
If you don’t have an ice cream, you can easily make your own DIY ice cream bar cart. Instead of serving your frozen treats in the typical cones, get creative with these chocolate cupcake liners.
7 — Spa Party
A little pampering is always a good idea. What better way to celebrate than a little R&R for your sweet girl.
Face masks, pedicures, spa water and more make this spa party a day for her to remember. Most items can be purchased at your local Dollar store making it a budget friendly party idea.
As a birthday party activity, you could also have all the birthday guests make their own colorful DIY sugar scrub.
8 — Mermaid Party
Make a splash and shellabrate your girl with a mermaid party. Coral and teal are the perfect backdrop for under the sea fun.
Add some shimmer and gold accents and make all her mermaid wishes come true.
9 — Rainbow Party
We love this pastel take on a rainbow party. Primary colors are gorgeous, but there is something about this pastel rainbow color scheme that has us swooning!
This is an easy theme for those that struggle with finding party inspo. When in doubt, add more color! Check out this easy DIY rainbow wall hang to add to your decor.
10 — Sleepover Party
A girl’s first sleepover party is a right of passage. Such a momentous occasion calls for a special set up to celebrate the birthday girl.
These DIY tents are such a fun way to make her first sleepover not only memorable but super stylish and fun. Let her pick her colors, favorite movie and snacks and you are good to go.
Girls love sweets (who doesn’t?!?) so you can’t have a movie without some funfetti popcorn.
11 — Tea Party
A party fit for her royal highness, a tea party is a super whimsical idea for a girl’s birthday. It can all come together with some china, florals and some tasty finger sized treats.
You can give a nod to Alice in Wonderland, or the Queen herself, but a tea party is a fun and simple way to celebrate a special birthday.
12 — Painting Party
For your artistic girl, a paint party is the way to go. Colorful canvases not only provide a fun party activity but a special take away to remind them of all the fun they had at the party too.
You could allow them to paint on their own creations or do a guided painting class where they recreate a specific piece of art.

13 — Fairy Party
A little faith, trust and pixie dust is all that is needed to make this fairy party a hit! Florals, butterflies, and some precious fairy wings are all you need to get your party started.
Making taller florals and even toadstools make your tiny pixies feel like real life fairies. And wouldn’t it be fun to continue with the birthday party theme by making floral crowns?

You could also serve some frost circus animal bark and frosted animal crackers cake.

Donut think we forgot about a donut party!! Sprinkles and icing, what more could a birthday girl need?
The pegboard donut wall is a show stopper and so easy to recreate and we absolutely love the mini donut pool floaties to hold the glasses of milk.
We even have recipes and DIY’s to celebrate donuts that can help get the party started.
