Kids Party Ideas for Different Age Groups

Every child is unique and so is every celebration. When planning a kids’ party, choosing the right setup and theme for your child’s age makes all the difference. From playful toddlers to pre-teens who love a touch of luxury, the perfect party evolves as your child grows.

At Straws ’n Berries, we design beautifully styled kids’ parties tailored to each age group, making sure every child feels comfortable, excited, and fully included.

Ages 3–5: Playful, Colorful & Full of Wonder

For younger children, parties are all about imagination, movement, and feeling safe in a cozy, welcoming environment.

What works best at this age:

  • Bright colors and soft textures

  • Simple, recognizable themes

Ages 9–12: Stylish, Social & Just a Bit Grown-Up

Older kids enjoy celebrations that feel cool, cozy, and slightly more grown-up without losing the fun.

What works best at this age:

  • Neutral or soft color palettes
