These days kids parties are about so much more than pass-the-parcel or jelly and ice-cream. Every year kids’ parties get bigger, better and a lot more fun. Children want parties that will amaze their friends and make them the talk of the playground, and often that means having a party that encompasses the latest trend. Ensure you make your child’s party one to remember by taking a look at our pick of the best kids’ party trends for 2018.
It’s the year of the unicorn
Ok, so 2018 is actually the year of the dog. But unicorns are everywhere, on clothing, home accessories, stationery and toys. Children’s party decorations are no exception. From unicorn tableware and tasty cakes to bunting and balloons, there is a plethora of unicorn party decor to get your hands on out there. Whether it’s bright rainbow colours or pastel shades, a unicorn theme is an easy one to pull together and is bound to be one of the most requested children’s party themes of 2018!
UV Discos
Retro chic is back in vogue and while there are somethings that should be left in the 80’s, neon parties aren’t one of them! UV Discos are a trend that has been gathering pace for many years and shows no signs of stopping. Neon jewellery, glow in the dark face paints and of course more glow-sticks than you can shake, well… a stick at! So dig out those hair crimpers, wear your leg warmers with pride and show the kids how it’s done!
Emojis
Emojis are incredibly popular with kids of all ages. Bright, colourful and fun, they can be transformed into eye-catching cakes and used as party decorations. All sorts of party games can be given an emoji twist and you could even let the kids get creative with some emoji themed crafts. Or how about an emoji themed fancy dress party. If you have a creative streak, you can also make emoji-themed goodies for your party bags.
Superheros galore!
Summer 2018 will see the release of The Incredibles 2. As the first film was unbelievably popular, it’s likely the sequel will be too. And with another instalment of The Avengers is due out in 2018 too, superhero parties are going to be in high demand! Superhero parties have long been a staple of birthday celebrations, giving children the chance to dress up as their favourite caped crusader and save the world with the help of their friends and this kids party trend is set to continue into 2018 and beyond!
