Decorate the ceiling: Hang Super Mario prints from the ceiling. Simply place a corner at each point on the roof. This will create an umbrella effect by lowering the ceiling and making it more intimate for children. As a bonus, after the party your child can use the sheets on their bed!
Decorate the guests: A fun way to get the kids involved in the party the moment they walk in the door is to decorate them! This can be as simple as adding a Super Mario mustache for boys and a crown for girls. Or you can include everyone wearing a Mario t-shirt or costume. The kids seem to love this idea as they get into the party right away and it’s a great ice breaker for shy kids!
Mario Kart Party Favors – Party favors are a breeze with this theme. You just need to add some Super Mario candy, some race cars, and some coloring books! Your gift bags can be a paper bag or something cheap from the dollar store in the right colors!
Mario Kart Games – Kids will be happy just playing the video game, however this is not very active or interactive. Therefore, plan some games for all the children to play. You could have relay races, coin collector races, or any other fun option. The idea is to allow children to have fun without sitting in front of a television!
Birthday Cake: The star of the party is always the birthday cake. It provides the aura of excitement and anticipation that children love! Make sure you make a cake that truly represents the party by using lots of blue, red, and white cake toppers. This combination can turn a boring cake into a super cake!
Hopefully these tips and tricks will help you kick-start your Mario Kart birthday planning. Remember, try to include all guests in your plans, which means catering for different likes, dislikes, and food allergies.
