When did theme parties start?

When I was a kid I had never heard of or been to a theme birthday party (okay except sleepover or a pool party). Then I met my husband a few years ago and his sons were talking about what kind of party they want, so now every year they decide a theme. When did people start having theme parties for kids? Is this new to anyone else?

Re: When did theme parties start?

  • I never had any themes to my birthday parties.  Unless being awesome counts as a theme.

  • I had a Simpson themed party when I was 8... Bart Simpson even showed up (my mom's friend's kid who was a few years older than I was dressed up in the costume.)
