The Party Theme Quiz matches you with your ideal birthday party theme in 8 questions. Answer prompts about the birthday person's personality, preferred party vibe (casual vs. formal), indoor vs. outdoor preference, budget range, guest count, age group, color preferences, and entertainment style. The quiz scores your answers against 100 party themes in the Party Genius database and returns your top 3 matches with compatibility percentages. Each result includes a theme description, suggested color palette, 3 decoration ideas, 2 activity suggestions, and a link to the full theme page with complete planning resources. The quiz handles all ages — from 1st birthday (safari, farm, rainbow) to 70th celebrations (garden party, afternoon tea, platinum gala). It also accounts for practical constraints: if you select "small apartment" it filters out themes requiring large spaces, and if you select "under $200" it prioritizes DIY-friendly themes. Most users complete the quiz in 2 minutes and discover themes they hadn't considered.

Can't decide on a theme? Ask your kid one question: "What do you want to be at your party?" Not "what theme do you want" — that overwhelms them. The answer is usually their current obsession, and that's your theme. Don't overthink it.
