50+ BEST How to Train Your Dragon Party Ideas

What's Inside: The best DIY How to Train Your Dragon party ideas to make your kids birthday OVER THE TOP! Everything you need from HYYTD cakes to dragon party games to free Toothless printables and more.

The number one party theme for 2019 is How to Train Your Dragon! Okay, I made that up … but based on the number of kids I see wearing Toothless hoodies at my son's elementary school, I just know your kids are gonna be asking for a How to Train Your Dragon birthday party. I've rounded up the absolute best DIY party ideas to help you throw a killer HTTYD celebration for your little dragon trainer.

Why a Basic Dragon Party Isn't Gonna Fly

Your kids know that a basic dragon or that old guy Puff are NOT the same the dragons from HTTYD.  Kids know all about Gronckle, Toothless, and Light Fury so you need to bring your A-game to this party planning process.

  1. Your ideas are totally awesome. I will use a lot of them. I love making the items myself (with help from the grandkids). Much more fun than buying a “Party-in-a-Box” – style nonsense. There’s so much enjoyment in the planning and constructing: even the “Party-kid” can participate. Makes for a much more personal experience for everyone.

    Thank you so much for your hard work. I’m sure you enjoy it too. Your dedication and love shine through. Best wishes, Helen
