20 Awesome Boy’s Birthday Party Ideas
20 Awesome Boy’s Birthday Party Ideas…creative and fun themes that your little man will love! Inspiration to help you create a magical event.
Birthday Themes for Boys
Birthdays are so much fun. I remember one year my parents took me go-cart racing with some of my closest friends. It meant so much to me that my parents organized such a fun event. I felt so loved. Birthday parties are all about coming together to show love and support and maybe eating a slice or two of some delicious ice cream cake. Whether you choose to throw a birthday party for your child every year or just on those special milestone ones, hosting a birthday bash can be a blast!
Although parties are a ton of fun, sometimes they can be difficult to put together. If you have a boy then you may feel like most of the birthday theme ideas out on the internet are for girls. Look no further! I have got you covered. Below you will find 20 fantastic birthday party ideas for boys. Any of these are sure to be a homerun!
“Two Fast” Race Car
A racecar party is perfect for a toddler who loves speed! The racing flags really help bring this idea together!

Thanks for compiling all these ideas! There are some really good ones in there. Sometimes it’s difficult to come up with good themes for boys. My son turned 1 a few months ago and I did a vintage toy party for him.

I just tried to pin this page & Pinterest gave me an error message saying the page was blocked b/c it had been reported as inappropriate material! What on earth? Are they kidding? More importantly why would someone report this??
I just thought I should let you know in case there’s anything that can be done about it!
hmm… very strange. i haven’t heard of that before. thanks for the heads up!! have a great weekend!
We rented a bounce house for our little boys. They loved it!
Planning my daughters 8th birthday party in June, this is great inspiration–pinning!
THANK YOU so much for this amazing round up. As a person who only grew up with sisters, I have really struggled to “get” the whole boy thing, especially as my son gets older. I SO appreciate you putting this together. My son will soon be having a camping party of his own. Yipee!!
We had a bird party last year for my youngest. This year he had a rainbow party, and my oldest had an outer space party. We’ve done dinosaurs for him as well. Boy parties can be super fun!
Those are all such fun ideas! Thanks for commenting!

I’m so glad this was helpful to you Charlene! Thanks for your comment. Xo!
I love masks!
very beautiful party picture, really awesome
These are indeed awesome party ideas, but why have you separated them into ‘boys’ and ‘girls’?
I have a 5 year old daughter who would love all but the military “boys” parties. Please don’t assume that girls don’t like superheroes or gardening or any of the others.
Hi Lyn! I agree, these definitely could be interchangeable, we just separated them based on if they were used at a girl or boys birthday from the different blogs. 🙂
Great ideas! I think my girls would even like some of these.
Whoa, I am so gonna do this! Thank you for sharing it. My boy’s bday is close so I am going to rush and prepare all the things I need for his party. I invite my family and close friends, hopefully everything is going well.
Good luck on your party! 🙂

I love Harry Potter Party from Toad’s Treasures theme, next month is my son’s birthday. Thanks for the amazing list

I have a question what did you use for the eyes, nose, buttons and mouth for Monster Bash?
Thank you!

I HEART NAPTIME? thank you for your respond, you helped me a lot!
Would you be so kind to share some table party activities for boys?
Wow! It was really an awesome collection of party ideas! Thanks. The boys are always changing their minds on what kind of birthday party they want. But one things for sure they love a themed birthday party.
I love some of these ideas, especially the pirate cake pop medallions – they look unbelievably effective and scrumptious! I have two sons and can affirm that pirate themed parties are always a hit with the boys for their birthdays! We’ve actually had five pirate themed parties between the two of them, this is because one adores Peter Pan, while the older one is obsessed with the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Either way – I now consider myself as a pirate party planner pro! Though I might have to steal the medallion pop cake idea for another party!
Anyway I was wondering if you had any tips/inspiration for planning girls parties? My sister is currently planning her daughter’s 6th birthday party,and has enlisted my help – so any tips for princess/fairy/wonderland types of parties would be fabulous.
Yes! We have or Top 50 Sweet Girls Party Ideas here! 🙂
These are some great birthday party ideas. My son would totally love that Willy Wonka Themed party. I’ll have to talk to him to make sure, but for the most part, I’m sure he’d like a themed party.
Such a cute party idea! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed reading about these.
I love the Monster Bash design! Very cute ideas here. Thanks!

Wow! It was really an awesome collection of party ideas! Thanks. The boys are always changing their minds on what kind of birthday party they want. But one things for sure they love a themed birthday party. I had great experience with https://www.planetjashn.com. They did extremely well.
I like that you said that one of the keys to setting the right mood for a party is picking the right music. My best friend and I are looking to host a private event but we need to come up with ideas. Thank you for sharing this information with us, I’m going to look for someone that can help me take care of all the important things needed to host an event.
