Easy and Fun Ideas for an Ice Skating-themed Pre-Teen Birthday Party

Invitation and Decorations

Imagine the squeals of delight when guests receive a pretty Ice Skating Party invitation (1) like this one, all pretty in pink and blue. Then, when they arrive at the party venue, have the scene decked out in the same color combo – from the daintiest details on the tablescapes (2) to the tissue paper tassel garlands (3) draped on the walls and overhead.

Food and Sweet Treats

For a darling birthday cake (4), order (or make!) one topped with a pair of ice skates, and adorned with pink stars, bows, and a scalloped border. Match this with snowy-frosted cupcakes with personalized ice-skating toppers (5) – adorable as party favors, too.

To keep serving easy, prepare bite-size food items like these mini croques monsieur sandwiches (6) on wooden skewers. These would be yummy dipped in cups of hot home-made soup! Then, have vintage-style milk mugs holding snowflake lollipops (7) for each guest to fill with her choice of hot cocoa or warm milk.

Ice Skating Favor Ideas

Send each little lady home with a DIY bundle of party favors. Simply fill pink goody bags via Amazon with an assortment of wintertime essentials, like a pair of mittens or gloves, a muffler, lip balm, a packet of hot chocolate mix, and a cute DIY frame to hold a snapshot taken with the birthday girl!

Fun-on-the-Ice Party Activities

If the festivities will take place indoors, consider craft-related activities young girls will enjoy, like “Decorate Your Skates” (8) or dress up a winter muffler or pair of mittens.

But if you’ll be holding the celebration at an ice skating rink, here are some pretty cool party games the youngsters can do on the ice:

“Freeze Skate” / “Skate Chain” / “Pin the Skate on the Skater”
(see the details at The Spruce)

“Frisbee Curling”
(see the details at Care.com)

No nearby public skating rink you can go to? We found a tutorial on House and Home for making your own backyard skating rink! Great idea for the whole family, even beyond the party itself.
