How To Throw An AWESOME Pokemon Birthday That Will Be A Smash Hit

Inside: Throw an amazing Pokemon birthday party with these Pokemon party free printables.

After three months of planning, it’s finally done.

A few weeks ago my son turned six and we threw him a Pokemon birthday party he’ll remember for the rest of his life the month!

And let me assure you, I’m glad it’s over.

Party planning for my older son always starts out innocently enough but somehow evolves very rapidly.

The first time I asked him what he wanted as his party theme he was certain: Angry Birds.

Awesome.

I can do Angry Birds. I started pinning my favorite Angry Birds parties for inspiration when lo and behold a week later he wanted Plants vs. Zombies.

Ugh. How do I make zombies look modern and cool?

It was back to the drawing board for me. It took a little more planning and effort, but eventually, I think I created the perfect look that was a nice blend of our tastes.

Then, one day after school,  I heard the newest report: PVZ is out and Ninja Turtles is in.

Yes, he changed his mind again.

After a long conversation in which I made him recite back to me that this was his final opportunity to change his party’s theme, he scrapped all the other choices and went with a Pokemon birthday.

Pokemon Go birthday to be more precise.

And this was the result:

One of the only reasons I actually plan these parties for my kids is because I enjoy party planning.

If I didn’t, we’d grab a cake, put up a few streamers and never look back.

But that’s not my style.

I love to think of all the details that come together at the end.

And I was excited about how this Pokemon Go birthday party turned out.

It was simple, but fun and had hints of the game throughout the entire table.

Like these adorable Pokeball sugar cookies (which you can order from Etsy!).

And this Select A Team sign for the Pokemon hat favors.

I created a complete Pokemon party printable pack filled with over 23 pages of printables including:

• Happy Birthday Banner (2 sizes: 4’x3′ & 5’x4′)
• Happy Birthday Flag Banner
