April Birthday Invitations And Ideas For A Great Spring Party

Author: Amy Carter

April can be the perfect time to host a birthday party. While the weather can be a little too unpredictable to host an all-outdoor party, there are many great indoor activities to keep your party guests entertained. Or if you do make a plan for some outdoor activities, have some indoor games planned too, just in case you get the worst of the weather. Think about incorporating spring themes, colors and décor accents and you’ll have a great April bash in no time.

Invitations
Big and bright patterns are perfect for an April birthday invitation. A little girls’ birthday invitation would look perfect in shades of pink, purple or yellow. And a little boy’s birthday invitation looks great in hues of blue and green. Spring sports are starting around this time in school so you might want to center your invitations and activities on your birthday kid’s favorite sport.

For grown up parties, April is perfect for ‘April Fool’s Day’ themes with jokes and pranks galore. April is also tax time. Your guests might get a kick out of an invitation that looks like a tax form or a note from the IRS. After tax day (April 15) everyone needs a reason to celebrate, so your April birthday is right on time.

Games
April birthdays are about more than just cake and presents. You should have some great games and activities in mind. Once you’ve got your games and activates in mind, use that theme to add some style to your birthday invitations. Try to make your games indoor/outdoor friendly as you just can’t tell about the weather. Send your birthday invitation and invite guests to an April scavenger hunt. Just like an Easter egg hunt, have your guests hunt for hidden items – perfect in the yard or in the house.

Outdoor sports and games like kickball, baseball or soccer are great fun, but if your game is called on account of weather, have a backup plan. An interactive video game might be a nice treat if you’re stuck inside.

Locations
You might not be crazy about having your birthday guests traipsing in and out of your house. In this instance you might want to host your party at an alternate location. April is a great time for a birthday party at a local recreation center with indoor and outdoor spaces. You might also try a kid-focused restaurant with games and activities for your young party-goers. Or try a movie theater. Some cinemas offer space for your party and then a package deal on a movie for your whole group. Any of these locations can offer you a great opportunity to send a fun themed birthday invitation. You might be tempted to try an outdoor space, but remember its not quite summer yet – hold off until May or June just to be safe.

April is a great time for a fun spring party. Lots of spring themes and colors can lend style to your décor and birthday invitations. Keep in mind that Easter and Passover are both in April, so don’t make any plans to interfere with that and you’ll all set.
