Basing Your Kid’s Party on a Video Game

If your kid loves Super Mario, or any other video game character, this may be a very unique and creative theme for his or her next birthday party. For ideas on how to put this type of theme together, check out Microsoft’s article: Base a Birthday Party on a Favorite Computer Game. It will provide you with ideas on how to research the character on the Internet, as well as ideas for games and activities.

Celebrate Express has also gotten into the game (so to speak), with Super Mario Brothers-themed party goods.

If you own a Wii video game console, this type of party gets even easier. The Wii is set up to be inclusive and interactive, and many games encourage team play and cooperation. And, the Wii is fun for many different ages, so adults can get in on the action with the kids. Though I wouldn’t recommend buying an expensive console just for a party, if you already own one, getting a game that fits your theme (such as Mario Kart, for example) can be a budget stretcher by acting as a gift and party entertainment in one.

This is a good start to bringing this theme alive.
