What colours work for boys’ parties?
Keep to two or three colours. Reliable combinations are navy and green (safari, space), yellow and black (construction), blue and red (superheroes) and green and brown (dinosaurs, jungle).
What decorations do I need?
Every boys’ theme needs the same five items: a balloon garland, a backdrop or cutouts, a banner, matching tableware and a cake topper. The theme changes the colours and cutouts, not the structure — so you can reuse the garland and tableware setup for the next party.
How much does a boys’ party cost?
Budget $80–200 for decorations and tableware for 15 children, or $5–13 per child. Themed cutouts and a garland are the main costs; plain tableware in the theme colours keeps the price down.
