Invitations

Evites actually make it super easy by offering Taylor Swift-inspired invitations. It doesn’t matter if your birthday gal or guy is “feeling 22” or 8. The invitation can be designed to suit the guest of honor’s age. Of course, any Taylor Swift birthday has to have style. So, be sure to invite guests to dress from their top Taylor era. From sequins and denim to plaids and shades to pink and boots, there are so many ways for partygoers to show off their favorite Taylor style.

Decorations

Hang up a Happy Birth-Tay banner or string up a Hi, It’s Me, Hi, I’m the Birthday Girl (or boy), It’s Me sign to set the mood. Amazon has both, along with other Taylor-inspired birthday swag. You can also create your own Happy Birth-Tay banner with other fun takes on Taylor’s lyrics or your kiddo’s best-loved songs. To go along with your homemade banner, color coordinate party plates, napkins, cups, and table coverings along with Taylor’s Eras album cover or go a little wild with her favorite color, purple. Don’t forget the balloons to match.

Friendship bracelets

Bracelet making and trading has been a huge part of the Eras tour for Swifties. Guests can, of course, wear friendship bracelets to trade at the party. Even better is to keep the friendship vibe going by creating their own bracelets as a party activity. Kids of all ages, even teens, enjoy making friendship bracelets. It’s not just a camp thing anymore.

Set up different stations with various types of bracelet-making materials. Be sure to have samples available and even someone to demonstrate how to make specific bracelet designs because not all the guests will be proficient at bracelet making. Younger kids should have adult or teen helpers on hand. The friendship bracelets can serve as party favors. Another fun favor would be to send each guest home with the materials to make another bracelet.

The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) watch party

Once the bracelet making is complete or while everyone is making them, tune into Taylor’s concert movie on Disney Plus. You can also make watching The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) the main attraction with a big screen showing outside if weather permits. Have plenty of movie snacks on hand for guests to enjoy and encourage singing along.

A Taylor sing-along

Speaking of singing along. Who doesn’t belt out their favorite Taylor songs in the car or well, anywhere? Make a Taylor-themed birthday party complete with a Swifty sing-along or karaoke.

Lucky 13

Taylor’s birthday is December 13, which is why it’s her special number. Incorporate Taylor’s lucky number by having 13-themed cupcakes.

Kitties

Another fun fact about Taylor is that she’s a proud cat mom. Her three cats, Olivia Benson, Meredith Grey, and Benjamin Button, are named after Taylor’s favorite television and movie characters. If you don’t want to host a Taylor-themed birthday celebration at home, consider doing it at a cat cafe. Cat cafes have become pretty popular across the nation and often host events like birthday parties. Having a Taylor Swift birthday party surrounded by adorable kitties is definitely something to meow about.

Don’t let there be “one thing missing” at your kiddo’s birthday party. If your child, tween, or even teen has a birthday coming up and is a Swifty, think Taylor. It will be a very happy birth-Tay with a Taylor Swift-themed party. With our simple guide, putting together a Taylor Swift birthday party will be a snap.
