19 Unique Hello Kitty Party Ideas (2024)

Hello Kitty birthday parties are more popular than ever since children are falling in love with this iconic Japanese cartoon character! Kawaii to the max, Hello Kitty party ideas include snack and decoration choices that immerse your children in the Sanrio world! We at Peerspace love helping people plan special events. So take a look at a few of our favorite Hello Kitty party ideas for a truly special birthday blast!

1. Throw a pink party

Start your Hello Kitty party planning by making everything pink colored! From pink room aesthetics to pink food ideas, pink (and white) should be the central theme. Fortunately, pink is one of the most popular color party ideas to go with. So it’s easy to find pink party plates, cups, napkins, and other items for a pink-themed Hello Kitty birthday party! 

2. Set up Hello Kitty wall decorations

Hello Kitty is a global phenomenon so it’s super easy to find wall decorations to match your party theme! Start off with Hello Kitty wall decals and build around them with ribbons, hanging wall art, pink curtain LED lights, and other cute touches!

Alternatively, you could even choose a pink-themed party venue, like the ones Peerspace has for children’s birthday parties. Have you seen this pink-themed retro space in downtown Los Angeles, CA? Imagine adding a few Hello Kitty elements for the perfect pink birthday party!

3. Put a bow on it

Hello Kitty wears a bow and you should, too, if you’re going to be a part of the celebration! Add bows and ribbons to the hair of your guests as well as to decorative items like punch bowl spoons and flower vases. You can also add Hello Kitty bow stickers to present boxes, wall banners, and other places!

4. Make it a Hello Kitty costume party

Let your kids really get into the spirit by making the celebration a Hello Kitty costume party! You don’t have to own a full-body suit costume, though that would sure be fun! Stick to outfits with Hello Kitty printed material on them; shirts, dresses, shoes, and other apparel are all perfect for this party idea. As are accessories like ribbons, bows, backpacks, pink sunglasses, and Hello Kitty stuffed animals!

5. Hello Kitty pink party punch

No party would be complete without some fruit punch to drink! Stick to the pink Hello Kitty theme with this fruity party punch recipe! It uses lemonade, orange juice, cranberry juice, with a bit of lemon-lime soda for a fizzy kick. Best of all, it’s quick to mix and takes just two hours to chill, making it easy to make and serve for an upcoming Hello Kitty party!

6. Hello Kitty pink popcorn

Colored popcorn is as fun to make as it is to eat! Plus there are a few different ways to make a batch. We like this recipe for pink popcorn as it uses butter and sugar for a slightly sweet take on classic popcorn. But you can easily use alternative recipes that use candy melt, marshmallows, or white chocolate drizzle (colored pink) instead! 

7. Make Hello Kitty party invitations

Start the festivities off right with Hello Kitty party invitations! You can have the birthday girl or boy color in the invitations themselves or pick up some from Etsy that are pre-made to fit the theme! These party invitations can be adjusted to include custom messages, color changes, and the name of the birthday darling.

8. Have a Hello Kitty pinata made

It’s fair to say that pinatas are fun for all ages. Who doesn’t love breaking open a decoration filled with candy, confetti, coins, or party favors? Get a custom-made Hello Kitty pinata for your next children’s birthday party! Don’t forget the blindfold and stick for each kid to take a turn with!

9. Serve a Hello Kitty birthday cake

From the pink strawberry glaze to the white vanilla spongy interior, a Hello Kitty birthday cake is equal parts cute and delicious! How you make it depends on the cake molds and your baking talents but here is a recipe to get you started! Use colored frosting, sprinkles, ribbons, candy melts, and other additions to make the perfect pink children’s birthday cake!

10. Have Hello Kitty coloring pages

Looking for Hello Kitty party ideas that are an activity rather than a snack? Print out a few coloring pages and place some crayons on the table! As digital downloads, these Hello Kitty coloring pages will be on your device instantly, ready for you to print them in as large a batch as you need for an upcoming birthday party.

11. Make Hello Kitty sugar cookies

Hello Kitty sugar cookies are as cute as they are tasty! Best of all, they don’t take a ton of baking or frosting skills to make! All you need is a batch of sugar cookie mix plus some Hello Kitty cookie cutters for the right shape. Coat them with colored frosting once they come out of the oven for instant party snacks!

12. Watch Hello Kitty episodes in a private screening room

Once you have a few batches of pink popcorn made, bring the kiddos to a room with a big screen and a movie player! Here they can enjoy their favorite episodes of Hello Kitty. Instead of a living room, think about booking a private screening room instead to make the birthday show even more special. The kids will get a cinema experience, complete with a big screen, surround sound, and theater-style seats. Plus they can make as much noise as they like without having to worry about other patrons!

Have you seen the private screening rooms Peerspace has for birthday parties and other special events? This movie theater-style screening room in Midtown Manhattan, NY, is just one of the venues we have that’s perfect for a birthday party!

13. Invite Hello Kitty to the party!

Imagine the shock and thrill your kids will experience by a real-life visit from Hello Kitty or other characters from the show! Why not have a live actor in costume visit the party for a few hours? You can easily have Hello Kitty, Santa, Bluey, and other characters visit your children’s birthday party through The Bash’s costumed character bookings!

14. Serve Hello Kitty sushi recipes

Hello Kitty is a Japanese cartoon so why not bring some of those flavors into the birthday party? Don’t just make any kind of sushi or sashimi though; not when the Sanrio world has its own adorable Hello Kitty sushi recipe you can follow! From the pink rice to the white Hello Kitty faced rice squares, these are kid-friendly sushi bites that even the pickiest of eaters are sure to adore!

15. Pink Hello Kitty cupcakes

Do you need a Hello Kitty themed party snack right away? How about some Hello Kitty cupcakes you can bake in just 20 minutes? The recipe here results in a single tray of cupcakes (6-8 servings) so plan accordingly if you have a large guest list to bake for. All these cupcakes need is pink buttercream frosting and cupcake toppers!

16. Design a pink candy bar

Candy bars are a perfect birthday party snack idea when you have a lot of kids! Not everyone will like the same things. A candy bar can be stocked with bulk candy options like pink-wrapped Hershey’s Kisses, pink gummies, and chewy pink sour balls. Place them on a decorative party tray or inside plastic jars for a quick yet beautiful candy bar!

17. Play Hello Kitty party games

Hello Kitty can be used as a theme for games that kids can learn and play during the party! Check out these Hello Kitty games designed by an expert party planner! From a Kitty Hunt to Pin the Bow on the Kitty, these games are original takes on classic party games that your kids are sure to enjoy.

18. Make pink Hello Kitty lemonade

If fruit punch isn’t what your kids like, make a few batches of pink lemonade instead! After all, it’s already the perfect color for your Hello Kitty-themed event! Pink lemonade takes just a little pink food coloring to create the right shade so if you have a recipe you’d rather use, you don’t have to hunt down pink lemons! 

19. Set up a photo booth

Kids and adults alike love opportunities to take photos solo and with friends! A photo booth with Hello Kitty-themed props, toys, and other accessories is guaranteed to be a fun time. Especially if you can use an instant printer to give the photos as party gifts right away rather than digital images. Tangible photos are so much more satisfying, plus guests can hang them up at home right away rather than have to look at a phone screen!
