How to Plan the Perfect Wicked-Themed Birthday Party for Kids (Ages 5–9) with Elphaba and Glinda from Jersey City Party Characters

Calling all good witches and mischief-makers! If your child is obsessed with Wicked, there's no better way to celebrate their big day than with a Wicked-themed birthday party — complete with Elphaba and Glinda entertainers from Jersey City Party Characters! Perfect for kids ages 5–9, this party theme is full of sparkle, sass, and spellbinding fun.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to planning the ultimate Wicked birthday bash:

1. Choose Your Venue

A Wicked party works well in many spaces — your living room, backyard, party venue, or even a local park. Make sure there’s enough room for dancing, games, and a magical grand entrance from Elphaba and Glinda!

2. Send Out Wicked Invitations

Set the tone early with themed invites. Use green, black, pink, and glitter accents. Mention that special guests from Oz — Elphaba and Glinda — will be attending! For extra excitement, include dress-up suggestions like "Wear your most magical outfit!" or "Come dressed for a day at Shiz!"

3. Book Elphaba and Glinda from Jersey City Party Characters

This is where the real magic begins! Our Elphaba and Glinda performers:

• Sing live songs from Wicked like "Popular" and "Defying Gravity"

• Lead interactive games and themed activities

• Host glittery makeovers and magical make-believe

• Paint faces, tell stories from Oz, and pose for photos with all the guests

They are professionally trained entertainers who know how to engage kids ages 5–9 and keep them enchanted from start to finish.

4. Decorate in Wicked Style

Use bold and playful decorations in emerald green, black, silver, and bubblegum pink. Think:

• Glittery stars and witch hats

• Bubble balloons for Glinda’s “bubble travel”

• Emerald City backdrops or DIY clock tower cutouts

• Tableware with swirl patterns, magic wands, and potion bottles

Add signage like “Welcome to Shiz University” or “No Flying Monkeys Allowed!”

5. Plan Wicked Games & Crafts

While Elphaba and Glinda will lead structured activities, you can also plan themed stations:

• Wand-making station with ribbons, glitter, and stars

• Potion mix-up table with colorful drinks and labels

• "Good Witch vs. Bad Witch" trivia or scavenger hunts

• Wicked karaoke with a mini mic setup!

6. Serve Wicked Treats

Get creative with themed snacks and sweets:

• Green punch aka “Elphaba Elixir”

• Pink cupcakes topped with tiaras for Glinda

• “Flying Monkey” cookies or candy broomsticks

• A cake shaped like the Emerald City or a glittery spellbook

Don’t forget fun labels like “Spellbound Snacks” or “Good Witch Goodies.”

7. Make the Birthday Child the Star of Oz

Our performers always make the birthday child feel special — singing to them, doing a birthday coronation, and leading a group photo session. You can even set up a “Walk the Yellow Brick Carpet” moment before cake time!

8. Send Guests Home with Magical Favors

End the day with themed goodie bags filled with:

• Mini glitter wands

• Wicked stickers or temporary tattoos

• Emerald-colored slime or sparkly lip balm

• A photo print with Elphaba and Glinda

Final Tip: Book Early!

Our Elphaba and Glinda performers are in high demand, especially for weekend parties. Book with Jersey City Party Characters early to secure your preferred time slot and make your child’s Wicked birthday absolutely thrillifying!
