Birthday party themes for 6-year-olds truly reflect their unique personalities. Ask them what they want on their special day, and you can't go wrong! Some popular sixth birthday party themes to consider include: "It's sweet to be six" (ice cream or candy party), "In my sixth era" (Taylor Swift party), "Skating into six" (roller skating or ice skating party), "Sixth inning" (baseball party), Jump party, Slumber party, Video games, and Superheroes.

On the Invitation for your child's sixth birthday party, make sure to include: your child's name; the event date, time and location; RSVP information; the party's theme (if you have one); and any other special information your guests might want to know.

Once you have that, all that's left is to add a personal touch. You can keep your message short and sweet and say, "[Kid's name] is turning 6!" or make it more playful to suit your party theme.

Still stuck on what to write? We've got you covered with inspo and examples in this handy blog: Birthday party invitation message ideas.

First, ask your almost-6-year-old what they want to do — they'll love and want to be involved with some of the party planning, like the theme, guest list, activities and even decor. Hosting the birthday party at a venue like Chuck E. Cheese, Bricks 4 Kidz, Ultimate Ninjas or your local park are good options as the guest list is now likely to be more about your kid's friends vs. adults, so keeping them engaged and having fun is especially important.

Include some activities that encourage and enhance socialization, like a friendship bracelet-making station or team-based sports and games. Sleepovers and slumber parties also start around this age, so if your child prefers a smaller party with their closest friends, this could be the perfect occasion to host their very first pajama party.

Anyone your child wishes to invite! Drop-offs (AKA, only the kids stay for the party, not their parents) are common at this age for birthday parties, so if you're comfortable with this, let the parents of your kid's guests know they don't have to stay. While most of the guest list will consist of their friends, you should also consider inviting close family members and friends.

Once you've decided who you want to invite, you can easily and quickly add your guest list by uploading your contacts, using your Evite address list or adding new guests one by one. You can then send your Invitations to your 6th birthday party seamlessly via email or text. Then, you can track all your RSVPs from any device on Evite.

The best etiquette for sixth birthdays is to send your paperless invitations about 4–6 weeks before the event. That gives your guests time to organize their schedules and it gives you plenty of heads up in terms of RSVPs.

With Evite, of course! Evite lets you monitor your guest list and RSVPs anytime, anywhere. As soon as someone RSVPs to your sixth birthday invite, you'll get notified instantly via email or SMS text depending on your communication preferences. Plus, you can visit your My Events page on Evite to see the live updates on who's in, who's out and who hasn't responded yet.

We'll also remind your guests about the party a few days before the event, as well as remind those who haven't responded yet to RSVP before the big day.
