There are so many things you need to be mindful of to make sure everyone enjoys themselves. Most of all, you want to make sure you find epic birthday ideas you’ll love too! 

Here are some ideas for birthday party themes you might like to consider.

Japanese themed birthday 

We may not be able to travel to Japan right now, so bring Japan to your party instead! Japan is one of the best countries to visit for Australians – given its proximity – and is a diverse country with incredible cultural activities and history, entwined with a futuristic modernness that many tourists love. This year, why not have some fun and enjoy a Japanese themed birthday party that you won’t forget! 

Why not ask everyone to dress up in a Japanese theme and wear fun geisha outfits? Start the day with a kintsugi pottery class. This ancient Japanese art form is a way of repairing broken ceramics with beautiful gold lacquer. You’ll learn so much about how to repair any of your priceless ceramics and build newfound confidence in this beautiful class. 

Continue the day with a Japanese cooking class. With thousands of Japanese cooking classes to choose from, choose a fun sushi making class or a Japanese curry class. You’ll be guided by a local Japanese chef who will teach you the art of making authentic and restaurant-worthy Japanese food. Have fun with your friends and family and come together to create a couple of delicious dishes you’ll be able to eat together at the end of the class. 

Then finish the day with an ikebana floristry class and learn the art of the minimalistic approach for flower arranging, the Japanese way. In this fun and engaging class, you’ll be taught by a local expert who will teach you this beautiful art form, where to buy the best cut of flowers from, how to mix and match the flowers and how to keep them looking fresh for as long as possible. 

Whilst these are just a couple of Japanese themes for parties, this is a great way to enjoy your birthday party differently this year. What's more, you can find our Japanese art classes all over Australia, too! Looking for more rejuvenating birthday party ideas? Check out these ideas for mum!
 

Wellness themed birthday 

Fancy doing something a little differently this year? Why not opt for a super trendy wellness party theme instead! As many people are realising how important it is to look after their mental health and wellness, it’s become more apparent that people prefer to go to art classes than sit in the pub these days. 

This year, discover new ideas for birthday party themes with a wellness party. Start the day with a beautiful natural skincare workshop where you’ll learn absolutely everything there is to know about how to take better care of your skin. Learn how to literally make your own skincare products and discover fascinating facts about what ingredients you need to look out for in the future. Trust us, your skin will love you for it!

Learn from a local skincare expert and explore various ingredients and scents to create your own skincare products you can use every single day. 

For lunch, we recommend taking part in a fun vegan cooking class. Learn how to make wholefood recipes from scratch and cut out any processed foods when you get home. Your body will love this and also you’ll notice your energy levels increasing, day by day. Learn from a local vegan chef who will share recipes and advice about where to buy your food from and how to cook more mindfully. 

After lunch, take part in a relaxing yoga and meditation workshop together in a privately run class. You’ll learn how to master your downward dog and will feel totally relaxed as you learn to build your confidence when practising yoga at home, or when joining other yoga classes in the future. As birthday ideas for theme parties go, it doesn’t get much more zen than hosting a wellness-themed celebration.
