Updated: Oct 22, 2023

Hi Blissful Babes!


To help you pick the perfect theme for your little, I've put together a list of fun and heartwarming fall birthday party themes that will leave your little ones and their friends grinning from ear to ear!



1. Football: Calling all little champs and gridiron enthusiasts!

Transform your space into a football paradise with goalpost props, turf-inspired tablecloths, and football-shaped balloons, creating the perfect ambiance for your little champ's gridiron celebration. Don't forget to add pennant banners featuring their favorite team colors, and a football-themed cake centerpiece for the ultimate touchdown in decorating!

2. Woodland Wonderland: Step into a magical world of woodland creatures and fairytales! Decorate your venue with autumn leaves, twinkling fairy lights, and adorable forest critters. Let the kids dress up as their favorite woodland creatures, like foxes, owls, or deer, and get ready for a day of whimsical adventures. You could even change up a party game favorite to "Pin the Tail on the Fox" or "Find the Hidden Fairies" to add an extra sprinkle of wonder to the celebration!


3. Harvest Festival: Celebrate the bountiful season with a Harvest Festival-themed party! Set

up a farmers' market-style stall with baskets of apples, pumpkins, and corn. Let the kids try their hands at apple bobbing and corn shucking competitions. And of course, no harvest celebration is complete without some scrumptious apple pie and freshly squeezed apple cider! We have the perfect holiday party box for this theme - visit our shop!


4. Candy Corn Carnival: What's fall without candy corn, right? For those of you that hate it, you may argue perfect lol. While it's a hot topic on whether or not you like it (poll below) - It does make a cute Fall theme. Use the iconic candy corn colors (orange, yellow, and white) to decorate the venue. Set up fun carnival games like ring toss, bean bag toss, and a mini pumpkin bowling alley. And don't forget to prepare goodie bags filled with candy corn and other sweet treats to send the kids home with smiles and sugar highs!

Do love or hate candy corn?

  • LOVE IT!

  • Yuck!!

5. Pumpkin Patch Party: Yes, the iconic symbol of fall and a theme favorite - Pumpkin Patch Party! Transform your

backyard into a pumpkin wonderland, complete with pumpkin-themed decorations and activities. Let the kids decorate mini pumpkins with paint and glitter, and set up a pumpkin race where they can roll pumpkins from one end to another (bonus points for the silliest pumpkin rolling!). It's pumpkin spice and everything nice for everyone!






6. Autumn Adventure Camp: Take the party outdoors and let the kids experience an Autumn

Adventure Camp! Set up tents in the backyard and have a camping-inspired celebration. Roast marshmallows around a campfire, go on a nature scavenger hunt, and tell spooky (but not too spooky) ghost stories under the stars. It's a surefire way to create unforgettable memories and a bond with nature!
