Planning a four-year-birthday party may appear to be a daunting undertaking, but we understand how important it is for you and your child to have a particular celebration. From venues to food to gifts, here’s everything you need to know. Prepare for your loved ones’ best four-ever wild birthday celebration!
Party Decorations
You can make or purchase decorations such as bunting and balloons, prepare themed cuisine, and tell your guests to dress appropriately (which could be extremely cute!).
At four years old, your child will be getting increasingly sociable, and they will most likely have formed a small group of friends to invite from nursery, pre-school, or playgroup.
They’ll also be more aware that it’s their birthday this year than in past years, which means they’ll be more enthusiastic – however that doesn’t mean large gatherings won’t be intimidating!
If your child is still hesitant about larger gatherings, having their four-year-old birthday at home in familiar surroundings may be more appealing to them. If you’re searching for a different indoor location, we have many options for all budgets, so why not check out some of our other indoor party possibilities?
Food and Drink Ideas
Your child and their guests will be having so much fun at the party that it’s unlikely they’ll be sitting down to eat – so small, bite-sized food is your friend here!
If you’re worried about making sure there’s enough food to go around, fill up a cardboard meal box for each child. That way, you know no one will miss out, and they can always take it home if they’re having too much fun for food.
Party foods like mini hot dogs, mini pizzas, and finger sandwiches will go down well (and the adults can eat some too!). To sneak some healthy options in there, include some carrot or cucumber sticks and pieces of fruit like melon, bananas, and strawberries.
Birthday Cake Ideas
Depending on how much of a baker you are, there are a plethora of different birthday cake alternatives!
Most supermarkets have themed birthday cakes, or you can call your local cake maker for something more personalized if you’re having a themed party and want the cake to match. Your four-year-old will undoubtedly delight in seeing all of his or her favorite items transformed into frosting!
Buy a supermarket sponge cake and decorate it yourself for a middle-of-the-road option. The kids will have no idea, and it’s a simple way to make something one-of-a-kind for a little cost. Choose from a wide range of themes, like castles, trains, and the classic caterpillar cake, depending on what your four-year-old enjoys the most.
Other than cake, having some finger bits on hand, such as small chocolate pieces (but not too many!) is an excellent idea for extra dessert alternatives. Add sliced fruit such as melon, strawberries, and bananas to ensure that the youngsters get some nutrition as well.
Another popular party treat that the kids will like is jelly and ice cream. Why not try some of our fruity ice cream recipes to make it a little healthier? Alternatively, serve sorbet as a dairy-free option that is popular with children.
