Spring has sprung which means it’s time for another party trend report (*cue the applause and confetti*). We’ve been on the lookout for this season’s latest fads on the kids’ bday circuit to make sure you have all the inspo you need to celebrate your kiddo’s special day. Here’s what we’ve noticed: everybody loves nostalgic characters and venues, parties are trending smaller and disco is totally in. Keep reading for more details, inspo from real parties and even some of our favorite Etsy and Amazon finds.
Everyone loves a blast from the past, and with two of the most iconic and classic characters hitting movie theaters this year, we’re definitely seeing an uptick in nostalgic themed parties. That’s right: Super Mario-inspired parties and Barbie-inspired parties are HUGE when it comes to kids’ birthdays right now…and for good reason! There is so much fun decor on the market for these two themes and the kiddos get so excited to celebrate with their favorite characters.
And it’s not just nostalgic characters that are making a comeback. Venues that have been around for decades are also going strong: kids can’t seem to get enough of McDonald’s parties and Chuck E. Cheese parties! With kid-friendly food and activities, these establishments prove that sometimes it’s best to go back to the basics.
Keep scrolling to explore inspo and decor by theme!

We know figuring out who to invite to your little one’s birthday can be one of the hardest parts of party planning. Lately, we’ve noticed parents are opting for smaller guest lists, sticking to just a few of their kiddo’s close friends! In fact, in a recent survey we conducted, 54% of participants said they’re more likely to invite a few friends vs. the whole class.
And we totally get it! A smaller party means more room for memorable experiences—you can really devote more time to crafting an epic experience without worrying about costs getting too high or feeling overwhelmed by the size of the party. Here are some examples we’re loving:
This slumber party for the birthday girl and her 5 besties is a total birthday dream-come-true! Everyone got their own bed inside a super cute outdoor tent! For your own DIY version, ask guests to bring their own sleeping bags and gift everyone a fuzzy, pink heart pillows and a colorful silk eye mask for an added oomph of luxury.
We also love how every guest got their own dress-up wings at this butterfly party! This 8-pack of butterfly wings is the perfect way to give each guest the chance to choose their favorite color. You can even help them live out their ultimate butterfly-fairy-princess dreams with these adorable butterfly wands.
Disco is back and better than ever…but, to be honest, did it ever go away? We’re seeing sparkles and disco balls everywhere—and we’re not mad about it! Here are some of our fave takes on disco for you to try at your kiddo’s next bday bash:
Pink, glam disco:
Pink is the definitive BFF of glitter, so why not combine the two with a pink, glam disco party?
