Carnival Themed Birthday Party Invitations: Send out carnival party invitations for your party. You can enter the basics about the carnival party or write custom invitation text like “Come one, come all, and enjoy the fun! [Name]’s birthday carnival has come!” These invitations will get your guests excited about the carnival fun!
Carnival Themed Birthday Party Decorations: For your carnival party decorations, think lots of color and lots of balloons! Your backyard is the perfect place to host a carnival party, weather permitting. For the entranceway, set up a balloon arch full of red, yellow, and blue balloons. Hang balloon bunches throughout the rest of the yard in corners and as table centerpieces. Hang up some old carnival or circus posters around trees or fences. If you don’t have any on hand, you might be able to pick some up at a flea market or you could order them online. Set up some carnival booths for food, games, birthday presents, etc.
Carnival Themed Birthday Party Food: For a carnival birthday party, what’s more appropriate than carnival food? Serve all of the kids’ favorites: popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, hot dogs, fried dough—you name it! If you want to go all out for this party, you could even look into renting a popcorn or cotton candy machine for the day. For drinks, serve lemonade and root beer. If you are feeling creative, try your hand at making a clown cake or cupcakes. The kids will love them!
Carnival Themed Birthday Party Favors: Fill up popcorn containers with carnival candy including carousel twists, animal crackers, gummy popcorn, and circus peanuts. You can also add in some fun items like red clown noses, bouncy balls, stickers, and glitter batons.
