Books are a great way to get lost in a world of fantasy and adventure. April 2nd is International Children’s Book Day, so why not use this as an excuse to throw a party? Now you have to do this so that you can also involve the kids.

Teach them why books are so important and why they should be read. Set up a reading corner in the room and assign some guests to read stories to the children. This is a great way to introduce them to books while having fun.

Rainbow Party (3 April)

Who does not like the rainbow? April showers bring May flowers and with it, colorful rainbows too. A rainbow-themed party is a great way to celebrate the arrival of spring.

Have guests wear bright colors to honor the occasion and set up an outdoor picnic or indoor setup for everyone to enjoy. Add fun activities such as making your rainbow bracelets or having a color pop photo booth session.

Poker Party (5 April)

Where are the adults? Oh you are already reading this. Planning an adult-only poker party is a great way to celebrate the coming of spring. The best part is it’s easy to set up and most people know the game’s rules.

Grab a poker set if you don’t already have one and assign people to host the game. Decide if you want to play with real money or monopoly money. I would say go with monopoly money. This way everyone will be more relaxed and have a great time.

Army Party (6 April)

Army Day was established as a nationwide observance to draw public attention to national defense and to acquaint the public with Army activities. You can call it Army, Military or Armed forces day. This is a great way to celebrate the spirit of patriotism.

Set up an obstacle course and invite your friends to compete in it. Teach your kids why we honor those who have served and sacrificed their lives for the country. This is a great way to show your appreciation for your heroes and you can also have a great time.

New Beer’s Eve (7 April)

I cannot drink beer because I’m a Muslim. That does not mean I don’t know how to celebrate it. I have a few friends who love to grab a couple of cold beers and chat over the weekend. New Beer’s Eve is celebrated on April 7th each year and marks the end of prohibition in 1933.

So, why not throw a beer-themed party and start your spring with a bang? Create an atmosphere reminiscent of a bar by setting up mini beer towers with different types of beers for your guests to enjoy. There is no better way to celebrate spring than with family and friends over a few cold beers.

Zoo Party (8 April)

Each year on April 8th millions of people visit zoos to show their love for animals and learn about the many animals that live there. Now this theme can be really simple and fun. You can take your kids to the zoo or recreate the same setting at home by hiring a local petting zoo.

I’m sure the kids will love interacting with the animals in their own backyard. Also, set up some activity stations and let the kids explore their creativity by painting the animals or making animal masks.

Easter is the most important event of the month. It is a time of celebration and joy. What better way to herald springtime than with an exceptional Easter party? It’s the perfect opportunity to gather your loved ones, marvel at the brightly colored décor, and indulge in sweet treats like chocolate eggs and fluffy marshmallow bunnies.

One of my favorite anime is Attack on Titan, filled with thrilling moments and intense battles. What better way to celebrate this special day than having an Anime Day party?

If you are not an anime fan, it’s time for you to watch some of the most popular series like Naruto, Death Note and Attack on Titan. Invite your friends, dress up in cosplay costumes and have a movie night re-watching classic anime films.

Day of Silence (17 April)

I was a nerd in high school and used to take part in the Day of Silence events to observe the power of silence. The day is usually celebrated on April 17th, and it’s a great opportunity to throw a party that honors this special event. Get your friends together for an evening with meaningful conversations and meditation practices.

Set up comfortable seating arrangements and decorate the area with soft lighting and calming aromatherapy candles. This will be an evening to remember as you appreciate silence’s power and stillness’s beauty.

Pinata Day (18 April)

Pinatas aren’t just for young kids. A personalized pinata is a great way to inject fun into an adult party. Pinata Day on April 18th is the perfect occasion. Get creative with your pinata selection; choose from classically shaped ones or something unique like a pineapple or flamingo-shaped one.

Fill them with treats and trinkets, then set them up around the party space. You and your guests can take turns opening the pinatas and collecting the goodies inside. It’s sure to be a blast for all ages.

Earth Day (22 April)

We have to protect the planet, and Earth Day is the perfect opportunity to do this. This is the perfect opportunity to bring together friends and family to celebrate Mother Nature and her wonders. Whether you want to plant some flowers, create DIY decorations using recycled materials, or enjoy some eco-friendly snacks and drinks, there are countless ways to make your Earth Day party a unique and memorable event.
