How To Throw A “Dinosaurâ€_x009d_ Themed Birthday Party – From Decor To Return Gifts!

The best thing about throwing a party is getting a chance to create memories of a lifetime with friends and family. It’s always fun to make the experience special and memorable for the people who matter the most. Last month when I decided to plan a birthday party for my 5-year-old son, he zeroed in on a “Dinosaurâ€_x009d_ themed birthday party. At first, it seemed improbable to arrange a “dinosaurâ€_x009d_ themed party – everything from the ideal venue to the perfect decoration and entertainment seemed either imperfect or unavailable.

We started with booking an indoor venue -focussing on 3 things which matter a lot to the party – an amazing ambience, an elaborate and delicious brunch and an amazingly accommodating staff. As for the décor for the unusual “Dinosaurâ€_x009d_ theme,  with no options available in stores or online, I had to make best with my art and craft DIY skills.

These simple ideas looked like a million bucks at the party and the kids loved it! So if you are thinking of throwing your child a dinosaur themed party, then follow along!
