April can be the perfect time to throw a birthday party. While the weather may be too unpredictable to host an outdoor party, there are plenty of great indoor activities to keep party guests entertained. Or if you plan for some outdoor activities, also plan some indoor games, in case you have the worst weather. Think about incorporating spring themes, colors and decorative accents and you’ll have a great April party in no time.
invitations
Big, bright patterns are perfect for an April birthday invitation. A girl’s birthday invitation would look perfect in shades of pink, purple, or yellow. And a little boy’s birthday invitation looks great in shades of blue and green. Spring sports start around this time at school, so you may want to focus your invitations and activities around your birthday boy’s favorite sport.
For adult parties, April is perfect for ‘April Fool’s Day’ themes with lots of gags and gags. April is also tax time. Your guests can enjoy an invitation that looks like a tax form or a note from the IRS. After Tax Day (April 15), everyone needs a reason to celebrate, so her April birthday comes just in time.
Games
April birthdays are about more than cakes and gifts. You should have some cool games and activities in mind. Once you have your games and activations in mind, use that theme to add some flair to your birthday invitations. Try to make your games indoor and outdoor friendly as you just can’t know about the weather. Send out your birthday invitation and invite your guests on a scavenger hunt in April. Just like an Easter egg hunt, have your guests search for hidden objects, perfect in the garden or around the house.
Outdoor sports and games like kickball, baseball, or soccer are great fun, but if your game is called off due to weather, have a back-up plan. An interactive video game can be a nice gift if you’re stuck inside.

You may not be crazy about having your birthday guests come and go from your house. In this case, you may want to host your party at an alternate location. April is a great time for a birthday party at a local recreation center with indoor and outdoor spaces. You can also try a kid-focused restaurant with games and activities for your young party-goers. Or try a movie theater. Some theaters offer space for your party and then a one-movie package for your entire group. Any of these places can offer you a great opportunity to send out a fun themed birthday invitation. You might be tempted to try an outdoor space, but remember that it’s not summer yet — wait until May or June just to be sure.
April is a great time for a fun spring party. Many spring themes and colors can spice up your birthday decorations and invitations. Keep in mind that Easter and Passover are in April, so don’t make any plans to interfere with that and you’ll be good to go.
