2022 is a brand new frontier. While we may not be able to go full-on indoor-ball-pit-pizza-party-parties, birthday parties are most definitely back, baby! From Encanto-themed sing-alongs to outdoor movie screenings, bring on the cupcakes, and let's get these birthday parties started. Scroll on to get some inspiration.

Encanto
Its might be the hottest birthday theme of the year, and you know, we're just going to have to talk about Bruno! Order up a backdrop of Encanto-theme right from Lofaris including banners and stand, add some additional bright balloons, and serve up an array of authentic Columbian party food and appetizers sure to be a hit with the kids. With the release of the Disney Encanto Sing-Along on March 18 the entertainment just took care of itself.

Make a Minions Moment
Just like a popular song, your favorite kids' movie character can be turned into a unique party theme. First came, Despicable Me, then came Minions — a prequel that proves small Minions stole the Pixar spotlight (and will steal your party guests' hearts).

Outdoor Movie Night
A classic party theme that everyone loves! Kids missed out on many movie premiers and even if your comfort level is still not 100% for smooshing back into theaters, there is nothing quite as charming as an outdoor movie. This one takes warmer weather and the right equipment, but the good news is lots of movies went straight to streaming so there's plenty of new hits out there to theme your party around. Or do your own version of the Academy Awards for your tweens and let them vote between two or three. Check out our best ideas for outdoor movie nights here.
