Zoo Decorations

It’s a great idea to start with stocking up on the party essentials. There are a large variety of zoo themed and animal print plates, cups, and napkins available. You may even find coordinating sets. Themed paper plates are not only fun, they make for easy clean up at the end of the party.

Of course, you will need more than just the essentials to make your zoo themed birthday party a hit! There are many different animal print balloons available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Make sure to stock up on different themed balloons. Balloons are a quick and easy way to transform your space into a perfectly themed party you want. They also can make for fun games for your younger party guests.

Balloons are not the only quick and easy decorations. There are tons of different backdrops available to transform any boring wall into the perfect zoo themed photo opportunity. Posters are made in all different sizes to fit almost any space that you can imagine. In addition, there are many paper cut-out decorations such as zoo animals and leaves!

Let’s not forget the streamers! Streamers in different shades of green can make for a beautiful backdrop or can be used to decorate the ceiling with vines.

Every zoo themed party needs zoo animals. There are many cardboard cut-outs of zoo animals available. Some are even life-size. These life-size replicas are the perfect way to welcome guests to the party. If you have a bunch of stuffed animals laying around, they can also be repurposed into party decorations.

Give each party guest a zoo themed mask or headband on arrival. There are tons of multi-packs available that include animals such as monkeys, lions, zebras, and elephants. The masks will allow children to have fun disguising themselves and also make for memorable photos.

Zoo Food and Drinks

No party is complete without food! A multi-tiered cake is the perfect way to encompass a variety of zoo animals and settings. Cookies can also be made to look just like zoo animals by using cut-outs. There are cut-outs available for many zoo animals such as lions, tigers, giraffes, and birds. Cupcakes with zoo animals’ toppers also make a nice addition to the dessert area. For a salty treat, you could set out “Cheetos for Cheetahs” or “Peanuts for Elephants.”

Beverages are a must! To add some fun to the beverage area, you can call it the “watering hole.” Tropical punch is a great choice for a zoo themed party. Some guests might prefer water. You can dress up your plain plastic water bottles with zoo themed wrappers. Many wrappers are even able to be customized.

Zoo Party Games

Make sure guests don’t get bored by playing party games. If you have a large open area, you can play monkey tag, which is a variation of the classic freeze tag. A safari scavenger hunt is also a great way to get people moving. Many zoo themed games can be purchased for indoor areas as well.

If you’re looking for a quiet game after all the energy starts to die down, sleeping lions might be the perfect option. For this game, everyone gets to lie on the floor and pretend to be asleep. If anyone gets caught moving, they are out!

A photo booth is also a great way to keep both young and old guests occupied. There are many different photo props for a zoo themed party such as animal ears, glasses, and even outfits! The backdrop could be a solid color or zoo themed. There are lots of options available.

Zoo Party Favors

Zoo animal themed glasses or zoo animal crayons make for a fun party favor and a great photo opportunity. For favors on a budget, you can place animal crackers in decorative zoo themed baggies.

Have your cake transformed into a circus tent. Scenes of the circus can be added around the cake. Cotton candy is a carnival classic. If you’re not up for splurging on a cotton candy machine, many stores sell cotton candy in individually wrapped packages. Cupcakes can be decorated to look like clowns or elephants. Popcorn is an easy treat that guests will love to snack on. You can also purchase red and white popcorn buckets. If you want to serve a meal, corn dogs or hot dogs are the perfect circus food!

Beverages are a must! Many carnivals serve soda. This is an easy to serve beverage that can be bought in a variety of flavors. Some guests might prefer water. You can dress up your plain plastic water bottles with circus or carnival themed wrappers. Many wrappers are even able to be customized.

Entertain your guest with party games. With a circus or carnival themed party, games are essential. Prepare a lifesize tic-tac-toe or ring toss for indoor parties. If you have a large open area, set up a bean bag toss or even rent a dunk tank. Fill a pool with rubber ducks and have kids pick a duck to try to win a prize. If you already have a basketball hoop, incorporate it into the party. Guests can collect tickets to purchase small prizes.

A photo booth is also a great way to keep both young and old guests occupied. There are hundreds of different circus backdrops available for all different sized spaces. You might also consider adding props such as clown hats, funny glasses, and bright red noses.

Pumpkin Party Inspiration

Pumpkin themed birthday parties will go well if done outdoors. Of course, it’s also great for indoors, but the added effect of the great outdoors during the golden hours of the day (specifically anywhere around 3:00 to 6:00 pm) can impact the greatness of this birthday idea as a whole.

Being a pumpkin-themed party, you can decorate the place with real pumpkins and have a pumpkin carving and decoration session for the kids which they can take them home later. You can also add in a shed prop and hay blocks which brings out the feel of the fall. To simplify the visualization, it could resemble the Midwest/Great Plains area in the fall where it is the harvest season for pumpkins!

Black fabric draped floor to ceiling behind your buffet or gift table will give a bold effect that looks fantastic. You could even hang a banner in front of it with Star Wars characters, wishing the birthday child a wonderful day. Display movie posters in frames that you can decorate, or pre-finished ones, to showcase your theme with style. Use your child’s collection of fun miniature characters to cover the tables with action-packed fighting scenes for an exciting touch at every seat! You can make some black poms to hang from the ceiling to fill the room with a galactic feel, maybe even put up some stars for a neat addition. Another fun option you have is to make your own spaceship from the movie with a cardboard box, let your inner artist out to bring it to life as a showstopping decoration for guests to enjoy.

Use personalized black and gold labels to name your food anything you want to from the movie. You can make fruit kebabs and call them “Light Sabers.” Have some rolos in a big bowl and name them “Han rolos.” Guests will enjoy fun, catchy little titles along with delicious treats. You could cut open a watermelon and use the shell to make a miniature Yoda for the table. Make a Storm Trooper from a cheese ball and surround him with cracker for a fun dip. For a cake to remember, have a recreation of the Star Wars ship made for everyone to enjoy. To decorate you can add star wars cake toppers.
