Cat Themed Birthday Party Ideas

Purr-fect DIY Cat Themed Birthday Party Ideas for Kids!

Do you have a cat obsessed kiddo who has a birthday coming up?

Same, same. My daughter LOVES cats. She gives more kisses to our cat than anyone else in the house and gets overly excited to meet any and every cat she can.

For her birthday that just passed I knew I had to throw an awesome cat themed birthday party for her, and today I’m here to share all the deets and ideas!

Oh, and please note, I’m using DIY here to mean you don’t have a party planner handling things. There’s a mix of complete DIY projects and some already designed supplies you can buy too!

Cat Themed Birthday Party Supplies

First up in throwing our PURRFECT cat themed birthday party for kids is… SUPPLIES! Think plates, cups, napkins and other party essentials.

Cat Themed Birthday Party Tableware

This kit is a DFY (done for you) party in a box. It comes with a banner, table cloth, centerpiece, party planning checklist, cake cutter, and plates, napkins & cups for 16 people!

You can also do just a set of plates & napkins like this one. This works perfectly with doing some DIY decor.

Another complete Aloha Sugar party supplies kit but in a unique “caticorn” theme. How fun!

DIY cat tableware ideas:

  • draw cat faces on cups like these pictured above (eyes, nose, whiskers)
  • add construction paper ears to plain round paper plates
  • glue cat printables onto paper straws

Cat Themed Birthday Party Invitations

Balloons are obviously a fun addition to any party! This set is cute but really you can find a balloon set in absolutely any color scheme.

Cat birthday cake

This is the cake I made for my daughter. It was a lot easier than it looks so if you are up for the challenge I highly recommend trying out a DIY option. It’s just a little time-consuming – especially if you are new to baking cakes. This was only the fourth cake I’ve ever made! I imagine as I make more they won’t take quite as long.

This cake was made using:
