Whether you have a birthday in May or you're planning a party for someone else, you might be looking for May birthday ideas. May is SUCH a good birthday month to have since it's still technically spring, but feels like early summer, so you have lots of amazing party themes to choose from for both seasons.

For this post, I found some AMAZING May birthday party ideas that you have to recreate if you're planning a May birthday party! After you read this post, you'll have the cutest bday inspo ever.

This post is all about the cutest May birthday ideas.

1. Butter Party (*Birthday Person* Churns *Age) Theme

I've been getting so many butter parties on my feed lately, and I'm absolutely loving it. Butter parties becoming trendy felt so random, but I'm here for it. For a birthday, you could go with a "*birthday person* churns *age*" theme and it would be so clever.

2. Birthday Cafe

This is another party theme I've been getting on my feed a lot recently, and I am OBSESSED. The idea of doing a home cafe for a bday party makes my inner child so happy.

3. Garden Party

You really can't go wrong with garden parties in the spring and summer. This one feels like a fairycore themed garden party, which is such a cute idea for a theme.

4. "It's All About May" Party Theme

For this party theme, you'd basically do anything May themed, like flowers, sunset colors, etc.

5. Freshly *Age* Party Theme

This is another party theme that has been super trendy lately and would be perfect for May! I love the idea of going with a "pink lemonade" color scheme for this kind of party.

6. Sunset Soiree

With it getting darker later and later the closer we get to summer, a sunset soiree party would be perfect to kick off the conclusion of spring and the beginning of summer!

7. Pj Party

A pj party is another thing you just cannot go wrong with. There are so many different ways you could decorate a pajama party, but I love how this one went for a fancy nancy type theme.

8. Mermaids & Margs/ Mocktails

A mermaid theme is another one that would be so perfect for late spring/ early summer. I'm obsessed with the jellyfish lights they decorated with for this one!

9. Fancy Nancy

Fancy nancy parties are SO popular right now, and for good reason. They're insanely cute and look like so much fun!

10. Medieval Princess Party

Since May is right after the spring renaissance fair season, a theme like this would be perfect for people who attend fairs to have another excuse to wear their outfits! This would also just be such a cute theme in general.

11. Wonderland Party

A wonderland theme would be so perfect for late spring/ early summer! This is one of my all-time favorite party theme ideas, and there is so much potential for how you could decorate.

12. Coquette Birthday

I thought the coquette trend had died down a bit (not for me, I'm still obsessed), but I've been seeing tons of people host parties with bow decorations lately! Specifically, I've been seeing a lot of people decorate their parties with the giant bows like this one.

13. Celestial Garden Party Theme

I'm obsessed with this party theme idea! It gives me Practical Magic vibes, which are perfect for May.

14. Spotted Turning *Age* Theme

With polka dots making a huge comeback, this party theme would be the perfect excuse for everyone to wear their polka dot outfits!

15. 'Tinis & Weenies

This is another one of my personal favorite party themes of late. Maybe it's because I have a weenie dog, but I'm absolutely obsessed. You could go a few different directions with this theme. You could either do a martinis and hot dogs theme, a martinis and weenie dogs theme, or combine all of the above!
