Even with the multitude of birthday themes for little ones out there, it can be difficult to find one that is original and trendy. But according to this year’s trends on Pinterest, zodiac-themed birthdays are becoming increasingly popular.
Many parents think that the zodiac sign plays an important role in their children’s destiny and identity. But even if that’s not the case, it’s a versatile theme that can easily adapt to any color scheme and budget.
Maybe it’s time to become the first in your group of friends to join this trend by organizing an astrology-themed birthday. If you believe in the power of the stars and planets, or if you just like to admire the night sky, this may be the theme you are looking for.
Here are some fun suggestions for celebrating an astrology-themed birthday.
The cake and other details with an astrological touch
There are many ways to subtly incorporate the zodiac sign theme into a traditional cake. For example, you don’t have to make a bull cake to honor a Taurus. You can simply add two caramel or chocolate horns to a more traditional cake shape.
The astrology-themed birthday has the advantage of being very versatile. A cake in the shape of a zodiac wheel, or simply a bright sun, can be a great detail. Or simply make a decoration with fondant that represents the symbol that corresponds to the sign.
You can even incorporate the astrological theme into the party’s Candy Bar by having candies for each sign. For example, orange candies for Leos, or blue jelly beans for Aquarians. Remember to add bags, so the children can mix and match to their liking.
You can also bake and decorate zodiac-themed cookies. Using a printer with edible ink and sugar paper it is possible to decorate cookies or macarons with images alluding to each sign.
Astrology Theme Birthday Decorations
You can print a cute-themed poster of the birthday boy’s sign or one representative of the season of the year that corresponds to it. There are many options to choose from on Etsy, check them out when you are planning your astrology-themed birthday.
Make sure that all the decoration orbits (pun intended) around the sign. For this, you can incorporate it into a variety of decorative elements, from party hats to napkin rings and everything in between.
If you live in a city with a planetarium or museum providing facilities, this could be a special and unconventional place to celebrate the event. This could also support children’s learning about the universe and solar system. Always keep in mind that astrology and astronomy are only alike in name.
Activities for an astrological birthday party
Depending on the age of the party guests, you could organize a series of themed games. For example, play a variant of Scrabble in which only words that have something to do with astrology, astronomy, and space are valid.
You can also print word searches with a selection of words related to the topic. You can offer a prize to the first guests to find all the words.
An astrology-themed birthday party relies heavily on decorations and activities to give it its own character. We hope that some of the above suggestions are useful to achieve success in organizing it.
