Choose a color scheme and send invitations

Think pretty pastel colors or bold and bright colors. Start your party off on the right foot with invitations that get everyone excited about the event. You can either make your own or purchase some pre-made ones. If you decide to make your own, you can use construction paper and ice cream themed stickers to decorate them. Be sure to include all the important party details like the date, time, and location on the invitations.

Decorate your space

As for decorations, you can keep it simple with some streamers and balloons in your party colors. Or, if you want to go all out, you can transform your home into an ice cream parlor! Hang pictures of ice cream cones and sundaes on the walls. For an added touch, try using ice cream containers or cones as vases for your floral arrangements. Have an ice cream sundae bar set up with all the toppings. And don’t forget to play some fun ice cream themed music in the background. Having a decorated space for your Ice Cream Themed Birthday Party will really set the theme for the whole party.

Set up an ice cream toppings bar 

No matter what other activities you have planned, the star of the show at your ice cream birthday party is going to be the ice cream bar. To set it up, you’ll need a variety of ice cream flavors, toppings, syrups, and sprinkles. You can also provide some non-traditional toppings like crushed cookies or candy bars. Let guests build their own sundaes or create a signature flavor for everyone to enjoy. And for the adults, you can create an adults only build-your-own spiked milkshake bar.

Ice-cream Birthday Party

It is best to pre-scoop your ice cream before your guests arrive. Place scoops of ice cream onto a lined baking tray and place in the freezer. This way, when guests are ready to build their sundaes, all you have to do is hand them a scoop and they can add their own toppings.

Food

If you want to get really creative, try making some ice cream themed snacks. Try to balance out the sweetness of the ice cream with some savory and healthy options. Serve up some grilled chicken, crackers with cheese and some fruit. Find creative ways to serve your food such as serving the fruit inside an ice cream cone.

Fruit Ice cream treats

Even cupcakes can be made to look like an ice cream. Get some white frosting and add in some colorful sprinkles. Serve them on a platter with some scoops of ice cream to create a fun and festive dessert.

Provide waffle bowls for your guests to add fruit and ice cream to. This is a healthy and fun way to enjoy the party.

The Birthday Cake

No birthday party is complete without cake! But instead of serving plain old birthday cake, try serving an ice cream cake instead. Ice cream cakes are easy to make (you can even buy them premade at most grocery stores) and they’re always a hit with both kids and adults alike. Or decorate a vanilla cake with ice cream cones and serve your cake with a scoop of each person’s favorite ice cream flavor and watch as they devour it in no time flat!

This is a classic game that kids will love playing. To set up the game, you will need a large poster board or piece of construction paper with a picture of an ice cream sundae. Blindfold each child, spin them around a few times, and then see if they can “pin the cherry on the sundae”. The child who gets closest to the correct spot wins a prize!
