- Pick a simple theme
If your son likes superheroes, then choose just his favorite to star at the birthday party.
Going with Superman is easy to cater to, providing capes and a kryptonite snack is more doable than trying to get a little piece of every superhero involved in the day.
Maybe you have one of those easy to please kids, that trusts you will make the party fun no matter what theme it is.
In this case, pick something universal like balloons, and just have a bunch of balloons around for the kids to kick, center your games around them, and build your own paper-mâché piñata.
