I went to one of the most unique childrens birthday parties I had been to in a long time, and it was really fun and a great idea to pass on to all interested in kid party ideas.
The birthday boy loved Godzilla. How to have a Godzilla party? Well, the birthday boy also loved the Godzilla movie (the original of course) and wished all his friends could see it.
It just so happened that we have an old time theater, built in the first half of the 20th century in our area. It is an independent theater that can be rented by the public. By the way, may modern chain type movie theaters will rent you a theater room as well - check your closet one for rates!
So, the mom rented the theater for the afternoon and brought in a copy of the movie for all to watch as a private viewing.
Popcorn and soft drinks were furnished to all the kids, and they could of course sit anyplace they wanted as the theater was reserved just for them.
The end result? The boys loved it. The girls were terrified. And everyone had fun!
For the kid birthday cake - the birthday boy put the finishing decorating touches on it himself, with his own Godzilla figurine.
Check with your local theater about having a party there. Some offer party packages that even include a film booth tour and game tokens for the video game machines. (Some even have party room!)
