Plan a Justice League birthday party your kid will love. Party kits for 16, decorations, hero games, food ideas, and favor bags, all in one guide.

There are more than a thousand Pokemon now. Your kid probably knows about nine hundred of them, can rank them, and has opinions about which ones are underrated. You know maybe six. That gap is fine, because a Pokemon birthday party does not require you to pass a quiz. What it does require is a room that looks the part and enough structure to keep a dozen trainers busy. Pokemon makes that easy, because collecting, battling, and earning things is basically what party games already are. This guide walks through the setup: Pokemon party kits, decorations, party favors, food the kids will actually eat, and games built on the catching-and-collecting idea. We will point you toward the Pokemon party supplies that do the heavy lifting so you can spend the afternoon watching instead of scrambling. Let's get into it. Start With a Pokemon Party Kit Before you open six tabs and start adding single items to your cart, look at the Pokemon party kits first. Each one serves 16 guests and bundles the matching pieces, so the table reads as one coordinated party instead of a few that showed up separately. There are three tiers. Standard The Pokemon party kit is the table, fully handled: dinner plates, dessert plates, luncheon and beverage napkins, a table cover, and ruby red cutlery (54 pieces, so there is backup for the fork-on-the-floor moment). Tableware only, no decor. Best if you already have decorations in mind or you are keeping things cake-focused. Deluxe The Pokemon birthday kit is where the decor starts. Everything in the Standard, plus a 75-inch "Happy Birthday" jointed banner, a pack of 12-inch latex balloons, and loot bags for all 16 kids. Table, a little decor, and favors in one box. If you want to shop once and move on, this is the sweet spot. Ultimate The Pokemon party supplies kit goes all in. Everything in the Deluxe, plus a Pikachu foil cutout photo backdrop, 24 LED cups, yellow glow bracelets, and pick birthday candles for the cake. Same 16 guests, just a lot more party in the box. Pick this one if you want the full setup without hunting the extras down piece by piece. Pokemon Decorations That Build the Room The Pokemon palette does a lot of the work for you: Poke Ball red and white as the anchor, Pikachu yellow for the pop, with blue and black filling in. It is bold rather than soft, so you can go heavier on color than you would with a pastel theme and it still looks right. The centerpiece is the Pikachu foil cutout photo backdrop. At 60 by 48 inches it covers a real wall section. Put it where kids naturally cluster, near the cake table or by the door, and you will get photos all afternoon without staging anything. From there, layer the 18-inch round foil balloons in clusters and the 12-inch latex balloons in the corners, and run the 75-inch banner along the cake table or a doorway. Pokemon punch balloons are worth grabbing too, since they work as decor before the party and as something to whack around after. For more color and fullness, browse the full balloons collection for reds, yellows, and blues that match the look. Setting the Trainer's Table This is where the kit really pays off. The basics all live in the Standard tier, so there is no piece-by-piece planning. For drinks, the Pokemon 16oz plastic stadium cup is sturdy, reusable, and doubles as a take-home. If you have the Ultimate, save the LED cups for after cake. A nearly-free trick: set a Poke Ball plastic hat at each seat instead of a name card. Kids put them on immediately and you have a table full of trainers before the food comes out. Setup order: banner first, backdrop next, balloons last so they are not in your way. Set the table about an hour before guests arrive. Pokemon Party Favors and Loot Bags The send-off is half the fun, and this theme is a natural fit because trading and collecting is the whole point. Pokemon loot bags come in the Deluxe and Ultimate kits. Fill them with whatever fits your budget: Pokemon assorted stretchy bracelets, which kids trade before they get to the car Pokemon party hats, worn at the party and taken home after Pokemon assorted disc launchers, which double as a game (more below) A few trading cards, if the birthday kid is old enough to be into them Pro move: pre-pack the bags the night before and stage them by the door. That is the only way anyone actually remembers to hand them out. Glow and Light-Up Extras The Ultimate kit comes with yellow glow bracelets and 24 LED cups, which is already on-palette for a Pikachu-heavy setup. If you want more, the glow collection has yellow and red options that fit the Poke Ball colors, and the LED and light-up section has pieces you can set down the middle of the table. Hold all of it until the back half. The lights coming on is its own small moment and it buys you another twenty minutes of happy kids. Pokemon Food Ideas Lean into the theme and let the names carry it: Poke Ball treats: cupcakes or rice krispie squares frosted red on top, white on the bottom, with a black stripe and a dot in the middle "Pikachu bites" of cheese cubes, pineapple, and banana, which is just a yellow snack plate with a better name Berry bowls with strawberries, blueberries, and grapes (berries are actual Pokemon food, so this one is on theme by accident) "Potion" punch: red fruit punch or blue sports drink poured into the stadium cups You do not need a spread. Cake, a snack platter or two, and a couple of drink options is plenty. Pokemon Games and Activities This theme hands you the games. Catching, battling, and earning badges are already party mechanics. Poke Ball toss: buckets at different distances, bean bags or crumpled foil to throw. Closer bins are common Pokemon, the far one is the legendary. They will play it longer than you expect. Gym badge run: three or four quick stations around the room, each with a small challenge, and a paper badge for every one cleared. Kids chase the full set. This is the best way to structure an hour. Who's That Pokemon: print silhouettes and let kids shout out the answers. Your kid will win. That is the point. Disc launcher targets: stack some cups and let them knock the stacks down. Doubles as a favor afterward. Evolution relay: kids start crouched as a basic Pokemon and "evolve" into a bigger stance at each checkpoint. Burns energy fast. Pick two or three. You do not need a packed schedule, and the badge run alone can fill a good chunk of the party. Your Pokemon Party Planning Timeline A loose plan keeps the week-of from turning into chaos. Here is the rhythm that works. 4 Weeks Out Send the invites (a group text counts) and order your party kit so it arrives with room to spare. Lock in the spot, whether that is home, the backyard, or a park. 2 Weeks Out Grab any add-ons like extra foil balloons, hats, or glow items. Plan the menu and prep anything you can make ahead. Chase down the RSVPs. 1 Week Out Do the non-perishable grocery run (drinks, snacks, anything shelf-stable) and confirm the cake order or pickup time. Print your badges and Pokemon silhouettes now while you have the patience for it. Prep the loot bags. Day Before Pick up the fresh food (fruit, veggies, cheese, sandwich fixings) so it is actually fresh on the day. Hang the banner and the photo backdrop. Pre-pack the favor bags and set them by the door. Grab the cake if you are picking it up. Day Of Set the table about an hour before guests arrive. Have a backup indoor plan if the weather looks shaky. Cake and presents around 60 to 75 minutes in, while everyone is still happy. One More Thing Before the Party Starts Picture it for a second. A wall of Pikachu behind the cake table, kids lobbing bean bags at the far bucket and arguing about whether that one counted, paper badges taped to shirts, red punch in stadium cups. Your kid in the middle of it, explaining the rules to a friend with total authority. That is the kind of afternoon they bring up weeks later, out of nowhere, at bedtime. Shop the Full Pokemon Collection That kind of day is closer than you think, and you do not have to build it from scratch. Pick the kit that fits your crowd, add a backdrop and some glow, prep the loot bags, and you are set. Ready to pull it together? Browse the full Pokemon party supplies collection to grab everything in one shot, or check our party supplies and decorations for any extras. Now go catch a good one. Pokemon Birthday Party FAQs How many guests does a Pokemon party kit serve? Every kit (Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate) is built for 16 guests. For a smaller group you will have a few spare plates, which is never a problem. For a bigger party, grab two kits or top up with extra plates and napkins from the same collection. What comes in the Standard Pokemon kit? The Standard is tableware only: plates, napkins, a table cover, and cutlery for 16. Decorations start at the Deluxe tier, which adds the jointed banner, latex balloons, and loot bags. What are the best Pokemon decorations? The Pikachu foil cutout photo backdrop is the standout, paired with the 75-inch banner and clusters of foil and latex balloons. Stick to Poke Ball red and white with Pikachu yellow and the room comes together fast. What are good Pokemon party games? Lean on catching and collecting: a Poke Ball toss with buckets, a gym badge run with a few quick stations, Who's That Pokemon silhouettes, and a disc launcher target game. They need almost no setup and the kids already know the logic. What food should I serve at a Pokemon party? Keep it simple and rename it. Poke Ball cupcakes, yellow "Pikachu bites" of cheese and pineapple, berry bowls, and red or blue "potion" punch in the stadium cups. A snack platter and cake will carry the whole party. Can I throw a Pokemon party indoors? Yes. The badge stations, silhouette game, and disc launcher targets all work in a living room with a little furniture rearranging. Save the relay race and the long-distance ball toss for outside if you have the space, but you do not need it.

The red bow goes on first. Before the guests, before the cake, before you have blown up a single balloon, your kid clips on that little bow and announces that this is a Hello Kitty party now. And honestly, they are right. That is the easy part of a Hello Kitty and Friends birthday party. The theme is already a favorite, the colors basically pick themselves (pink, then more pink, with a little pastel), and the whole Sanrio crew shows up ready to make the room look sweet. My Melody, Kuromi, Keroppi, Pochacco, all of them. This guide walks through the whole thing: Hello Kitty party kits, decorations, party favors, food little kids will actually eat, and games built around bows and best friends. We will point you toward the Hello Kitty and Friends party supplies that do the heavy lifting, so you spend the afternoon watching your kid grin instead of running around the house. Hello Kitty said it best: you can never have too many friends. So let's get the party ready for all of them. Start With a Hello Kitty & Friends Party Kit Before you open six browser tabs and start dropping single items in your cart, look at the Hello Kitty and Friends party kits first. Each one serves 16 guests and bundles the matching pieces together, so the table reads as one coordinated party instead of a few that wandered in from different themes. There are three tiers. Standard The Hello Kitty and Friends party kit covers the whole table: 16 dinner plates, 16 dessert plates, luncheon napkins, a table cover, and a big pile of cutlery in hot pink, lavender, and soft pink (54 pieces, so there is backup for the fork-on-the-floor moment). It also throws in the 6-foot jointed banner and a pack of latex balloons. Best if you want the essentials handled and you are adding your own touches on top. Deluxe The Hello Kitty and Friends birthday kit is the one most parents land on. Everything in the Standard, plus honeycomb centerpiece decorations and a set of pink glow bracelets for later. If you want to shop once and move on, this is the sweet spot. It does not include loot bags, so grab a favor pack separately (more on that below). Ultimate The Hello Kitty and Friends party supplies kit goes all in. Everything in the Deluxe, plus a birthday cake pinata, a pink foil fringe photo backdrop, 24 LED cups, and 50 pink glow bracelets. Same 16 guests, just a lot more party in the box. Pick this one if you want the full setup without hunting down the extras one at a time. Hello Kitty Decorations That Set the Scene This is where your dining room turns into Hello Kitty's world, and the palette does most of the work: pink as the base, with lavender, mint, and white so it stays soft and kawaii instead of loud. The showpieces are the character balloons. The Pochacco Shaped Giant Foil Balloon floats over the cake table like the friendly white pup himself, and a Keroppi foil balloon adds a pop of green. Cluster them with your kit's latex balloons, hang the honeycomb centerpieces and swirls overhead, and run the 6-foot banner along the cake table or a doorway. For a real photo corner, the Hello Kitty backdrop earns its keep the second phones come out. For more color, browse the full balloons collection for pinks and pastels that match the look. Setting the Hello Kitty Table This is where the kit really pays off. A Hello Kitty table comes together fast with the basics from the Standard kit: dinner plates, dessert plates, napkins, and the table cover to anchor everything, so there is no piece-by-piece planning. A cute touch: the collection also has face-shaped Hello Kitty plates, cut into her actual face with the bow on top. Use them for cake and dessert so every kid gets a little Hello Kitty at their seat. Setup order: banner first, then swirls and centerpieces, then balloons last so they are not in your way. Set the table about an hour before guests show up. Hello Kitty Party Favors The send-off is half the fun, and since the Deluxe kit skips loot bags, this is one spot to add on. Start with a favor pack or a set of favor bags, then fill them with whatever fits your budget: A red bow headband or clip so every kid leaves with Hello Kitty's signature look Sanrio stickers or a little character eraser (they trade these like treasure) Glittery sticker sheets, mini bubbles, or a small dollar-store treat A friendship bracelet each kid made at the party (activity and favor in one) Pro move: pre-pack the bags the night before and stage them by the door. That is the only way anyone actually remembers to hand them out. A Little Glow for the Back Half The Deluxe and Ultimate kits both come with pink glow bracelets, and the Ultimate adds 24 LED cups. To push it further and stay on palette, the glow collection has plenty of pink, and the LED and light-up section has soft pieces for down the center of the table. Save it all for the second half. The lights coming on is its own little moment, and it buys you another twenty minutes of happy kids. Hello Kitty Food Ideas Lean into the cute and let the names do the work:  Hello Kitty face sugar cookies with a little red bow of frosting Apple slices or mini apple pies (a nod to Hello Kitty's actual favorite food) Pompompurin pudding cups, which are just little custard cups with a smile Bow-cut sandwiches, or fruit cut into bow and flower shapes Strawberry milk or pink lemonade in little cups as Sanrio sips You do not need a spread. Cake, a snack platter or two, and a couple of drinks is plenty for this age. Hello Kitty Games and Activities You do not have to invent much. Bows and best friends hand you the theme. Pin the Bow on Hello Kitty: the classic game, just on theme. Almost no setup. Design a bow headband: plain headbands, felt bows, stickers, and gems, and kids make their own to take home. Craft and favor in one. Match the friends: a simple memory game with pairs of Sanrio character cards. Good for the quieter stretch after cake. Friendship bracelet station: beads, string, and a couple of grown-up hands. It leans right into the you-can-never-have-too-many-friends idea. Pick two or three. You do not need a packed schedule, especially with the younger end of this crowd. Your Hello Kitty Party Planning Timeline A loose plan keeps the week-of from turning into chaos. Here is the rhythm that works. 4 Weeks Out Send the invites (a group text counts) and order your party kit so it arrives with room to spare. Lock in the spot, whether that is home, the backyard, or a park. 2 Weeks Out Grab any add-ons like the character foil balloons, extra bows, or glow items. Plan the menu and prep anything you can make ahead. Chase down the RSVPs. 1 Week Out Do the non-perishable grocery run (drinks, snacks, anything shelf-stable) and confirm the cake order or pickup time. Test your speaker and queue up a playlist. Prep the loot bags and gather the bow-craft supplies. Day Before Pick up the fresh food (fruit, veggies, sandwich fixings) so it is actually fresh on the day. Hang the banner, swirls, and centerpieces. Pre-pack the favor bags and set them by the door. Grab the cake if you are picking it up. Day Of Set the table about an hour before guests arrive. Have a backup indoor plan if the weather looks shaky. Cake and presents around 60 to 75 minutes in, while everyone is still happy. One Last Thing Before the Bows Come Out Picture it for a second. A big Pochacco balloon bobbing over the cake table, a dozen kids in red bow headbands crowded around a friendship bracelet station, pink lemonade in little cups, and the foil fringe backdrop catching the light every time someone runs past. Your kid right in the middle of it, Hello Kitty plate in hand, showing everyone the bracelet they made. That is the kind of afternoon they bring up weeks later, out of nowhere, at bedtime. Shop the Full Hello Kitty & Friends Collection That kind of day is closer than you think, and you do not have to build it from scratch.

Keep it on theme: pin the bow on Hello Kitty, a design-your-own bow headband craft, a Sanrio friends memory match, and a friendship bracelet station. They need almost no setup and the kids already know the characters. What food should I serve at a Hello Kitty party? Keep it simple and cute. Hello Kitty face cookies, apple slices or mini apple pies, pudding cups, bow-cut sandwiches, and strawberry milk or pink lemonade. A snack platter and cake will carry the party. Can I throw a Hello Kitty party indoors? Yes. This theme is made for inside. The bow craft, the games, and the pinata (with a little ceiling clearance) all work fine in a living room with a bit of furniture rearranging. A backyard is a bonus, not a requirement.

It usually starts with the theme song. Your kid hears those three little "meows," drops whatever they're holding, and sprints to the couch. If that sounds like your house, you already know a Gabby's Dollhouse birthday party is happening whether you planned it or not. The good news is this theme is a dream to throw a party around. The whole premise is a girl who shrinks down and hangs out in a dollhouse full of cats, which means everything can be tiny, sweet, and a little bit sparkly. You don't have to overthink it. This guide covers the whole thing: Gabby's Dollhouse party kits, decorations, party favors, food the kids will actually eat, and games pulled right from the show. We'll point you to the Gabby's Dollhouse party supplies that do the heavy lifting so you can spend less time stressing and more time watching your kid lose their mind over a cake with cat faces on it. Let's get into it. Start With a Gabby's Dollhouse Party Kit Before you start tossing single items in your cart across five tabs, look at the party kits first. Each one serves 16 guests and bundles the matching pieces together, so your table actually looks coordinated instead of like three different parties showed up. There are three tiers depending on how big you want to go. Standard The Standard kit is your table-only option. You get dinner plates, dessert plates, luncheon napkins, a Gabby's Dollhouse table cover, and a stack of pink cutlery (54 pieces, so there's backup for the inevitable fork-on-the-floor moment). Best if you're handling decor separately or keeping things small and cake-focused. Deluxe The Deluxe kit is the one most parents land on, and it's easy to see why. Everything in the Standard, plus a 7-foot fringe garland banner, loot bags, Gabby sticker sheets, and pink glow bracelets. Table, a little decor, and favors all in one box. If you want to shop once and be done, this is the sweet spot. Ultimate The Ultimate kit goes all in. Everything in the Deluxe, plus glitter paper headbands, a cat-face paper fan decoration set, and 24 LED cups for when the afternoon starts winding down. Pick this one if you want the full decorated dollhouse look without hunting down the extras piece by piece. Gabby's Dollhouse Decorations That Pull the Room Together This is where the party stops looking like a normal Tuesday and starts looking like the dollhouse. The Gabby palette is soft and easy to work with: pinks, purples, and teal, with white to keep it from going too sweet. Stick to those colors and the whole room reads "on theme" without much effort. The hero piece here is the Gabby's Dollhouse paper fan decorations. They're cat-face fans in those bright pastel colors, and a row of three above the cake table does more visual work than almost anything else you can hang. The 7-foot fringe garland banner runs along the table edge or across a doorway for an instant backdrop. For the birthday kid and a few lucky friends, the Gabby's Dollhouse glitter paper headbands are a cute touch and double as a built-in photo prop. Cat ears on every head, basically zero effort. If you want more color and fullness, a few balloons in pink and purple fill out the corners nicely. Browse the full balloons collection for sizes and shades that match the Gabby look. Setting the Gabby's Dollhouse Table This is where the kit really earns its spot. A Gabby table comes together fast with the basics: 9-inch dinner plates, 7-inch dessert plates, luncheon napkins, and the rectangular table cover to anchor it all. Those all live in the Standard kit, so you can skip the piece-by-piece planning. For drinks, the Gabby's Dollhouse 16oz stadium cup is sturdy, reusable, and looks great in photos. Kids can take theirs home as a bonus favor. One fun, nearly-free trick: grab a couple of cheap (brand new) pet bowls, fill them with fish crackers, and label it "Gabby's Kitchen." Preschoolers think this is the funniest thing in the world.  Quick setup order: hang the banner first, fans next, and any balloons last so they're not in your way. Set the table about an hour before guests show up Gabby's Dollhouse Party Favors The send-off is half the fun. Gabby's Dollhouse loot bags are the easy base layer. Fill them with whatever fits your budget: Gabby's Dollhouse sticker sheets (always a hit with this age group)  A glitter paper headband so every kid leaves as their own little cat A small treat or two from the dollar store Blowouts or a tiny toy Pro move: pre-pack the bags the night before and stage them by the door. That's the only way anyone actually remembers to hand them out. Glow and Light-Up Extras If your party stretches toward evening, this is where it gets fun. The Deluxe and Ultimate kits already include pink glow bracelets, but you can add more glow energy with purple glow necklaces and bracelets or some purple LED ice cubes in the drink dispenser. Hand the glow stuff out right after cake, when the energy usually dips. It resets the whole room. Gabby's Dollhouse Food Ideas Lean into the cats and let the names do the work: " Pandy Paws sandwiches" cut with a cat-shaped cookie cutter (Pandy is the panda-cat, so raisin eyes if you're feeling ambitious) "Cakey cupcakes" with pink and purple frosting, named after Cakey Cat, who bakes in basically every episode Rainbow fruit cups with strawberries, grapes, and blueberries  Pink milk in little cups for the full dollhouse café feel  You don't need a spread. Cake, one or two snack platters, and a couple of drink options is plenty. Gabby's Dollhouse Games and Activities You don't have to invent anything. The show hands you the games. Cupcake decorating with Cakey: set out plain cupcakes, frosting, and sprinkles and let kids make their own. It's an activity and a treat in one, and it's literally what Cakey Cat does on the show. Cat craft station with CatRat: paper, markers, stickers, and ribbon. Kids make a kitty craft to take home. CatRat is the crafty one, so this is right on theme. Pandy Paws hunt: hide little cat toys around the space and let the kids find them. Ten minutes, huge payoff.  Meow Meow freeze dance: play the theme song, freeze when it stops. The song is iconic and burns energy fast. Pick two or three. You don't need a packed schedule, especially with the younger end of this crowd.

Chase down the RSVPs. 1 Week Out Buy the fresh food. Test your speaker and queue up the Gabby playlist. Prep the loot bags. Day Before Hang the banner, fans, and swirls (anything that doesn't need last-minute air). Pre-pack the favor bags and set them by the door. Bake or pick up the cake. Day Of Set the table about an hour before guests arrive. Have a backup indoor plan if the weather looks shaky. Cake and presents around 60 to 75 minutes in, while everyone's still happy. One Last Thing Before You Go Picture it for a second. A row of cat-face fans over the cake table, a dozen kids in glitter ears decorating cupcakes with way too many sprinkles, pink milk in little cups, and the theme song going for the fourth time because nobody will let you turn it off. Your kid in the middle of it all, grinning. That's the kind of afternoon they bring up months later, out of nowhere, at bedtime.
