If you have a little one who is obsessed with Jurassic Park movies, every roaring dino, and all things prehistoric, a dinosaur birthday party theme is the perfect way to celebrate. From jungle décor to dino-themed games and treats, you can create a party that feels like stepping back in time (no T-Rex chase required). We’re here to help dig up some fresh ideas for the most dino-riffic party of the year.

Themed Dinosaur Birthday Invitations

If you want the adventure to begin the moment your guests open their dinosaur birthday invitations, you’ll want to choose an invite that sets the scene. You can choose more classic dinosaur-specific imagery or choose something more general – think tropical or earthy –  and use fun wording to create the theme. Invitations are not only the way you share specific event details and gather RSVPs, but also a good way to get people excited for what’s to come. 

Dinosaur Decorations

Make your dinosaur themed party stand out with statement making decor. This doesn’t require a lot of work or money, just think about placement (entryways and main hang out areas are key) and larger pieces for an eye-catching effect. 

Both an activity and a decor piece, you can create a “dino dig site” with a sandbox or kiddie pool filled with sand where you can bury prehistoric relics and dinosaur bones for the kids to uncover. Balloons are iconic and effortless when it comes to setting the scene for a good theme party, so we love these dino-shaped balloons. For tablescapes, think fossil prints, moss, and toy dinosaurs to create a fun and thematic vibe. 

Prehistoric Party Activities Kids Will Love

The key to a killer birthday party? Keep all the kiddos entertained with themed activities. Whether you decide to host a dino egg hunt with eggs with small dinosaur toys or stickers inside, or a fossil art station complete with clay and dino toy figures, offering options for the kids to get involved and have a keepsake to take home is a great idea for keeping the energy up and the kids involved. 

Dino-Riffic Food and Drinks

What’s a dinosaur birthday without fun snacks? There are so many fun and creative food options to bring into the theme, whether it’s dino track cupcakes, Jurassic Punch with floating gummy dinosaurs, or dino-bone breadsticks, this theme invites you to get creative (and honestly the labels will do most of the work for you).
Don’t Forget the Favors

Send your guests home with something roar-some to remember the evening. Mini dinosaur toys are an obvious and fabulous favorite, but you can also consider any crafts made during the party, snacks or treats from the snack bar, or go above and beyond with dinosaur plushes or stuffed animals. 

Bringing It All Together

A dinosaur birthday is all about sparking imaginations and leaning into their passion – whether they’re digging up fossils, hatching dino eggs, or stomping around as their favorite prehistoric creature. With creative dinosaur birthday invitations, playful activities, and fun themed food, you’ll host a party full of memories that will never go extinct.
