🌈 7th Birthday Party Ideas
The best party themes and ideas for 7 year olds.
School-age kids have strong opinions about their party themes and want more interactive, challenging activities. This is a great age for science experiments, art stations, and skill-based games. Friend groups are established, so the guest list matters more. Consider letting your child help plan — it builds excitement and life skills.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How much should a birthday party cost?
Home parties: $100-$200. Venue parties: $200-$500. The most memorable parties often cost less — a backyard scavenger hunt with homemade decorations can beat an expensive venue experience.
When should I send out invitations?
Send invitations 3-4 weeks before the party. Include RSVP deadline (1 week before), start AND end times, drop-off/pickup instructions, and any allergy or dietary information requests.
