Cartoons are the center of a child’s universe. Growing up, they seek entertainment and fun from watching their favorite cartoon characters and learning about adventure, friendships, and so much more from those shows. One such extremely popular and loved character is Popeye. If you plan a birthday party for your little one, and they happen to be fans of the cartoon show Popeye the Sailor Man, nothing gets better than a Popeye-themed birthday party!
Popeye the Sailor Man
Created by Elzie Crisler Segar, Popeye is a fictional character that was first featured in the daily King Features comic strip. The character was later adapted to TV cartoons and even theatre. Books, video games and live action films, Popeye’s character grew onto gathering love from audiences young and old.

Décor
Well for the starters, red, white and blue are your go to colours for this theme. You can drape the ceiling and the walls with balloons of these colours. Or you can alternate between streamers of red and blue, with white balloons interspersed.
You can use a ‘Welcome Aboard’ sign at the main entrance of the party venue to set the mood for a sailor themed party. Someone dressed as Popeye at the entrance or at the party, might be really loved by the children. Some of the party essentials that would light up the nautical element in your Popeye themed birthday party are- ship lanterns, fish nets, anchor signs, small inflatable fishes or cutouts of fishes, etc. Toy ships or ship miniatures would add to the charm of the theme.
A few phrases in sailor jargon can also be written or printed and hung/ taped to the walls or decoration areas.

Food
You must be familiar with the phrase – “I’m strong to the finish, ’cause I eats me Spinach”. Popeye’s most popular dialogue, that also includes Popeye’s most favourite thing in the entire world- Spinach. Spinach themed food or items served in cans could bring the cartoon world of Popeye to reality. One of the eatables (preferably crackers or cake pops) could be shaped as tiny fishes.
The birthday cake should totally be sailor themed or specifically have the characters from the show Popeye the Sailor Man, or at least include the colours red, blue and yellow.

Sailor Caps
Another important element of a Popeye themed party that you absolutely cannot miss out on, are white sailor caps. You can either have a costume theme, where children can dress and show up as characters from the world of Popeye or they can be dressed in any casuals of their choice and simply add a sailor cap.
