everything you'll need for a dinosaur birthday party

Recently my sweet nephew turned three and had a dinosaur birthday party. It was adorable and I was honored to get to design all the bits and pieces for it. Here’s how you can have the theme dinosaur for a birthday party.

Not surprisingly, there were already a lot of ideas out there for a dinosaur birthday party, but I put my own touch on it and personalized everything for my nephew. While planning it, I loved seeing all the fun sayings as well.

Dinosaurs are adorable for more than a birthday party too. They make a fun baby shower theme for boy girl or gender neutral. You can find all the fun things as printables.

I love these next items because they are all about the birthday boy or girl. Give them something fun to wear or keep the theme going with personalized gift bags.

My favorite way to honor the birthday boy or girl is with a personalized t-shirt. Sure they might not wear it again, but it’ll sure look cute in the photos. Plus, it will make them feel extra special.
