Indy! Indy! Adventurous Birthday Party Themes
Host a party for the daring birthday girl or boy, and plan with adventurous birthday ideas! Incorporate your action and adventure theme in the invitations, decorations, activities, and cake. Get inspired by classic movie heroes like Indiana Jones and Lara Croft, and provide props such as personalized compasses, water bottles, or backpacks as party favors.
Get into the action with these adventure birthday ideas:
- Invitations: Email adventurous birthday party invitations to family and friends with Punchbowl’s party planning feature. Select an invitation with an outdoorsy or rustic theme. Include details such as the name of the event, guest of honor, date, time, and location. Use invitation wording such as, “Join Caleb on his 7th birthday adventure!”
- Snacks: Serve simple snack foods like trail mix and pretzels. Spread peanut butter on a celery stick and top with raisins to make Ants on a Log . (Find out ahead of time if any of the children have peanut allergies.) Set up a table for beverages such as water, Gatorade, and fruit juices to quench the thirst of the little adventurers.
- Decorations: Decorate to emphasize the action and adventure theme. Use items such as nets, coils of rope, crinkled maps, old chests, vintage suitcases, lanterns, and faux snakes. Incorporate pictures of the birthday girl or boy. Alter the images in a photo editing program and select the sepia filter for an antique look. Print the photos and place them in photo frames.
- Activities: Plan adventurous activities for the adventure party. Hold the party in a facility with an indoor rock climbing wall. For another idea, plan a hiking trip on a local trail. Arrange to host the party at your house and set up an obstacle course with tires, swinging ropes, trampolines, and tunnels in your backyard. Award prizes such as canteens and other adventure gear to the winners.
- Cake: Purchase an adventure birthday cake at a local bakery or make one yourself. Decorate the cake to complement the main activity. Create an obstacle course scene on the cake with small donuts as the tires, licorice for the ropes, and chocolate cookies for the trampolines. Make a rock climbing wall with a sheet cake as the base and a smaller cake balanced vertically on top. Create jagged edges on the sides of the smaller top cake and cover it with brown or grey fondant frosting. Insert M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces on the sides of the rock climbing wall for the stepping stones.
Have a wonderful and daring action party! Let the adventure begin!
