Prehistoric Dinosaurs Party Ideas!

Choose custom invites that will shake things up

Dinosaurs call to one another to communicate. Call out to your little dinos with Prehistoric Dinosaurs Custom Invitations. Add a message like: "It's a wild adventure! Come celebrate Russell's birthday!" Party City will ship your invites to you within just five days. Sprinkle a little Prehistoric Dinosaurs Confetti inside and add a Sticker to each envelope.

Give the herd a party pass tattoo

Dinosaurs know who their family members are by who travels as part of their herds. Send out Prehistoric Dinosaurs Invitations to all your friends to let them know you want them to be part of your party herd. Add Prehistoric Dinosaurs Tattoos into your invites and make a note telling your guests that they'll need to wear their tattoos as a "secret pass" into the party. Don't forget a little Confetti inside your invitations.

Hand-deliver your invites with a Dinosaurs favor

Dinosaurs were quick to mark their territory. Make sure you make a mark with your invitations – they're the first impression for your party! If you're hand-delivering your Prehistoric Dinosaurs Invitations, add a pre-party favor like a Dinosaur Bookmark. Use Orange Curling Ribbon to attach your favors to the envelopes.

Send personalized Prehistoric Dinosaurs custom thank you notes

Even though most dinosaurs were known to be tough and ferocious, some had a soft side too. Remind your little one to show his softer side and use his best manners. Have him send out Prehistoric Dinosaurs Custom Thank You Notes and add a note like: "Thanks for roaming with the dinosaurs at my party!" Just order them along with your custom invitations and Party City will ship them out within five days. Finish each note with a bit of Prehistoric Dinosaurs Confetti and add a Sticker to the envelope.

Add a snapshot for memorable thank you notes

Dinosaurs are studied by many and have made quite a history for themselves – and now you can make history, too! Have your birthday boy send out Prehistoric Dinosaurs Thank You Notes. In each friend's thank you note include a picture of the guest of honor and that friend at the party so they remember their fun day even better. In each envelope, add a pinch of Confetti for a big surprise!

Battle a T-Rex during pinata time

Dinosaurs were sometimes very rough and tough when they had to fight each other to survive. One of the largest dinosaurs was the T-Rex – and now your party guests can battle this scary creature. Choose a T Rex Pinata, or for larger parties, choose the Giant T Rex Pinata. Start by filling your pinata with surprises that are sure to thrill your guests like cool Magnifying Glasses, Dinosaur Favors, Laser Yo Yos, and fun Prehistoric Dinosaurs Finger Puppets and wacky Dinosaurs Barrel Keychains that can connect dinosaurs by the tails. Make sure to add something sweet like Kiddie Mix Candy or Wonka Mix Ups. Use a Blindfold and keep a Pinata Bat handy. Don't forget to give each guest a Prehistoric Dinosaurs Loot Bag to collect all his goodies.

Play the Prehistoric Dinosaurs Party Game

No matter what their size, dinosaurs were powerful in their time. Step up your power when you play the Prehistoric Dinosaurs Party Game, which is a Prehistoric twist on the classic party game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. In this version, guests take turns trying to put bones on a dinosaur skeleton. Cover the boys' eyes with the included blindfold and watch the fun begin!

Scavenge the fossil fields with a favor bar station

Paleontologists are digging up new finds of dinosaur bones daily. Let your little scientists dig up some treats and practice their keen eye for greatness. Start with a Clear Tray and fill it with popular items like super bright Neon Bounce Balls, tiny Dinosaur Figurines, Prehistoric Dinosaurs Pinball, Prehistoric Dinosaurs Tattoos, Dinosaurs Barrels, and Fiesta Color Glasses that will make them feel like a cool guy when digging on the fields. Make sure to have some Prehistoric Dinosaurs Loot Bags around so that the boys can collect their super-cool goodies.

Do a dino dance with Musical Chairs

Play Musical Chairs with a dangerous Prehistoric Dinosaurs twist. Start by lining up chairs back to back for all but one player. Station an adult by the stereo with fun music like the Dinosaurs Party Music CD When the music begins, the boys walk around the chairs. You can tell them to act like dinosaurs and roar like a giant T-Rex! When the music stops, everyone sits; the person without a seat is out. Remove one chair each round and continue until only the winner is left.

Give out cosmic prizes that that will shake their world up

When all the games are over, it's time to award everyone with super prizes. Give out treasures that will make history. Some great choices are a Dino Dig Craft Kit that lets them dig from a dinosaur egg, a Grow Dinosaurs Kit, Prehistoric Dinosaurs Party Metal Box and Pith Helmet. Whichever prizes you choose, the boys are sure to be more than excited to win one.

Make favors in reusable Prehistoric Dinosaurs Cups

Even when your party is over, the fun doesn't have to be! Use these reusable party cups as a special favor container. Start with a Prehistoric Dinosaurs Party Cups and line it with Lime Crinkle Paper Shred. Then add fierce favors like a Prehistoric Dinosaurs Memo Pads, Pencils, Compass Rings that will help your scientists find the way, and Bookmarks. Add some sweetness to your favor cups with Kiddie Mix Candy. Just slip everything into a Clear Party Bag and tie with Orange Curling Ribbon. These favors will keep your little dinos entertained, even long after your party is extinct.
