Okay, let’s talk about throwing the most epic How to Train Your Dragon birthday party ever! I mean, if you’re planning a celebration for a little dragon rider, you have to go all out.
Think Viking shields, roaring dragon games, and a dessert table that would make even Hiccup and Toothless proud. But let’s be real—planning a themed party like this can get overwhelming fast.
That’s why I swear by a party planner! No more last-minute chaos, forgotten decorations, or realizing too late that you didn’t order the cake (yep, I’ve been there).
To make your life so much easier, I’ve put together a FREE downloadable How to Train Your Dragon Birthday Party Planner in Google Sheets.
Why You NEED a How to Train Your Dragon Birthday Party Planner
Look, I used to be one of those “I’ll just wing it” party planners. And guess what? That never worked.
I’d forget important things, go way over budget, and spend the entire party running around instead of actually enjoying it. Sound familiar? That’s where this party planner saves the day!
Here’s why it’s a total game-changer:
✔ Budget-friendly: No more overspending on things you don’t need.
✔ No guest list drama: Keep track of RSVPs, allergies, and who’s bringing siblings.
✔ Food, decorations & games—ALL planned out: Everything stays in one place.
✔ Zero last-minute stress: You’ll know exactly what needs to be done.
And why Google Sheets is the best choice:
- Editable from anywhere – Use it on your phone, laptop, or tablet.
- Easily shareable – Planning with a co-host? Just send them the link!
- Printable for convenience – If you love a good checklist, print it out and check things off as you go.
What’s Inside the How to Train Your Dragon Birthday Party Planner?
I packed this planner with everything you need to pull off an unforgettable Viking adventure. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s inside:
1. Party Overview & Budget Tracker
Before you dive into all the fun stuff, you need to set a foundation.
- Pick your date, time, and location – Indoors? Outdoors? Backyard dragon training camp?
- Set your budget – Track estimated vs. actual costs (because we all know things add up fast).
2. Guest List & RSVP Tracker
This is a lifesaver when you’re juggling multiple invites and responses.
- Add names, contact details, RSVP status (yes, no, maybe).
- Note food allergies or special requests – No one wants a party guest with an allergy mishap!

3. Theme & Decorations Checklist
Okay, let’s talk decorations! A How to Train Your Dragon party can be as simple or as over-the-top as you want. Here are a few theme ideas:
- Viking Village – Wooden crates, faux fur rugs, and Viking shields.
- Dragon Training Camp – Dragon egg nests, target practice zones, and fire-themed decorations.
- Berk-Inspired Setup – Cloud cutouts, banners of Hiccup and his crew, and dragon silhouettes.
And the best part? This section of the planner helps you list every single decoration so nothing gets forgotten!
4. Food & Drinks Planning
If you’re like me, food is everything at a party! And with this theme, you can get super creative.
Some fun ideas:
- Dragon Fire Cupcakes – Red and orange frosting to look like fire.
- Toothless Tail Sandwiches – Mini subs shaped like dragon tails.
- Gobber’s Mead (Kid-Friendly!) – Apple cider or honey lemonade.
There’s also a grocery list section to keep track of what you need to buy!
5. Activities & Games Schedule
You cannot have a dragon party without fun activities! Here are a few my past little guests loved:
- Train Your Dragon Obstacle Course – Jump over “fire” (pool noodles), crawl through tunnels, and balance on beams.
- Dragon Egg Hunt – Hide “dragon eggs” (painted Easter eggs) and let kids search for them.
- Viking Warrior Relay Race – Team-based challenges with Viking helmets and shields.
The planner includes a time slots section to schedule everything so the party flows smoothly.
6. Cake & Dessert Planning
Let’s talk cake. Are you making one, ordering one, or setting up a full-blown dessert table? The planner helps you:
- Decide on a cake design (Toothless cake? Fire-breathing dragon cupcakes?)
- List dessert options (Cookies, cake pops, candy?)
- Plan how to set up the dessert table for that wow factor.
7. Party Favors & Goodie Bags
I love a good party favor, but they can get expensive fast! This section helps you budget and brainstorm ideas like:
- Mini plush Toothless dragons
- Viking shields and helmets
- DIY dragon egg bath bombs (yes, these exist and they are amazing).
