Your son or daughter's birthday party does not have to be a simple affair with cake, balloons, and a clown. You can incorporate his or her love for gymnastics into a birthday celebration that your child's friends will be talking about for months to come. Throwing the perfect gymnastics-themed party is more than leaving room for everyone to flip around. If you are throwing a gymnastics-themed party, here are some tips to make it memorable.
Rent a Gymnastics Gym
Although you could have the party at home, a gymnastics gym, such as Brown's Gymnastics, might be the better choice. Many gyms have birthday packages for kids of all ages. The venue choice allows for more children to be included, which eliminates the need for your child to leave some friends and family out of the celebration.
In addition to the extra space, some gyms even offer gymnastics instruction from professional coaches during the party. If your child shares his or her love of gymnastics with friends, this is a chance to have a party that is not only fun, but also beneficial to their understanding of the sport.
Make Gymnastics-Related Gift Bags
You want to make sure your child's gift bags flow with the theme of the party. There are several ways you can do this, including creating or buying gift bags that are designed like the gymnastic bags that the athletes use. The bag does not have to be overly complicated. A duffel bag decorated with each child's name is sufficient.
The gifts inside of the bag should continue the theme. For instance, you can include hair accessories that are commonly used to keep hair in place, such as hair ties. You can also include snacks that gymnasts typically eat to power up for a meet.
Give Out Awards
Before the party ends, you can give out awards to everyone who attended. The awards can be in recognition of things the kids did throughout the party. For instance, you could award one of the children for doing the best flip during the instruction part of the party.
Remember to keep a gymnastics theme with the awards. If possible, create your own awards, such as medals. You could even create a trophy that has a gymnast on top.
Creating the perfect gymnastics-themed party for your child can take time and effort. However, it will pay off when your child is thrilled with the outcome.
