Peach Mint Circus Party

Event stylist Samantha Dunne of Dunne with Style put together an incredible birthday party that showcased a fun circus theme complete with a brilliant array of bright colors and inglorious décor. The theme of Peach Mint Circus truly embodied the charisma of a birthday and the circus all in one, while highlighting joyful nostalgia.

The main event theme colors of peach and mint offered a crisp feel to the party, while individual flowers made of puffed peach and mint tulle added a whimsical touch as they were placed all over the venue. The main event table that housed the birthday cake and all the most fabulous sweets was absolutely gorgeous with a wondrous backdrop of oversized white paper pinwheels, and an elaborate circus sign welcoming guests to join in on enjoying the circus theme. The birthday cake itself was breathtaking, with two large tiers served on a mint ceramic cake platter. The top tier was all-white, with a topper of a bunched assortment of the mint tulle flowers and a golden elephant figurine. The bottom tier of the cake was really something special, with an ombre design of dark peach fading up into light peach.

Surrounding the cake were magnificently detailed treats, including a miniature mint colored cake with more gold elephant figurines on top, and delightful peach-colored cupcakes presented on handcrafted peach paper pinwheels. A distressed wood mail holder added the perfect chic accent to hold sugar cookies, and peach and mint candies, along with glass milk jars with miniature windmill straws. An apothecary jar full of mint-hued cotton candy and striped boxes full of warm popcorn were clever circus-motif additions, while jars filled with large mustache cake pops brought a timeless look to the table.

The party was tied together splendidly with peach and mint shaded circus flag banners, tassel garland, and a whole shelving bureau opened and full of lines of glass jars full of bright candy.

From Samantha :

For Eloise’s 2nd birthday we wanted to take a fresh twist on a classic favourite so put a whimsical and pretty twist on the circus classic, because lets face it, when you have a 2 year old life is a bit like a circus.

Li-Ann from Ham & Pea Paperie took vintage circus animals and ‘prettied’ them up with the addition of frills and ruffles, we replaced the classic blue and red with the more feminine mint and peach and the tone was set.

Guests were greeted at the tickets booth adorned with vintage carnival tickets, ribbon wands and handmade pinwheels.

The dessert table had a carnival atmosphere with sweet treats including a pair of ombre ruffled cakes, cupcakes topped with mini macarons and cotton candy, chocolate coated oreos adorned with pinwheels. Custom designed sugar cookies to match the vintage circus animals from the backdrop and for the little gents, moustache cookies.

Guests filled up circus tent favour boxes with treats from the candy stand and went home laden with pinwheels, ribbon wands and hand painted gold circus animal figurines – over indulged just like a day at the carnival.

Lego Themed Birthday Party

This Lego Themed Birthday party was creatively designed by Joy of Mondocherry. With a rainbow of fun colors and all kinds of Lego decor, this party was a brilliant display of the excitement Legos can bring to not only children, but adults as well!

A gorgeous Happy Birthday banner was displayed with a row of fun DIY legos clipping to a ribbon with clothespins offering a unique and fun decoration that stood out beautifully.  With a giant Lego standing in the center of the table beneath it, this backdrop made the perfect centerpiece for the party area.

With bright colors incorporated into every detail, like the array of swirly straws, this venue area was a vibrant display no matter where you looked.

The party bags for the guests were created with all kinds of entertaining goodies that were sure to keep little one’s busy for awhile. Placed in colorful gift bags with Lego decor, each bag was a personal show of creativity.

Even the treats were specially designed to blend with the Lego theme spectacularly.  Lego sandwiches were made, cut into fantastic little rectangles that were simple for kids to grab and eat. Lego cupcakes almost stole the show with fantastic edible Legos topping each one. With a rainbow of wrappers, they were a vision of Lego fun.

The cakes were a perfect blend of bright color and Lego block excitement, yellow and green colors that were inviting.  Set on top of a neat Lego base, the cakes were a perfect representation of this creative theme.

Throughout the venue area small details added to the big picture to put together a smooth and action packed party. Displays of Legos in lovely glass vases that had adorable little flag banners are just one example of the expansive decor at this lovely event.

Throwing a basketball birthday party is a slam dunk for any fan of the game! This fun and energetic theme works for kids, teens, or even adults who love basketball.

Basketball Birthday Party Invitations

Start with basketball-themed invitations to set the tone for your party. You can design them to look like basketball tickets or jerseys. Include phrases like:

  • “Dribble on Over for [Name]’s Birthday Bash!”
  • “It’s Game Time! Join Us for [Name]’s Basketball Party!”

Make sure to include all the important details: time, date, location, and RSVP information. For an eco-friendly option, create digital invitations using free tools like Canva. Add basketball graphics, courts, or even a hoop to the design for extra flair.

Basketball Birthday Party Decorations

Transform the party space into a basketball court! Use orange and black as the primary colors, with white accents for lines and markings. Hang banners that say “Happy Birthday” or “Let’s Hoop!” in basketball-style fonts. Decorate the walls with basketball posters, hoop cutouts, and pictures of the birthday person’s favorite teams or players.

You can set up a faux basketball court area with taped lines on the floor or use a mini hoop for decoration. Use jerseys in frames to bring your venue a personal look. Add balloons shaped like basketballs, and include streamers in orange and black. Tablecloths, plates, and napkins with basketball designs are a great way to tie the theme together.

Basketball Birthday Party Centerpieces

Centerpieces are an easy way to keep the basketball theme alive on your tables. Fill clear vases with mini basketballs or orange and black candies. Another idea is to use small basketball hoops or basketball-shaped buckets filled with foam fingers, whistles, or pom-poms.

You can also create a sporty vibe with trophies as centerpieces. Personalize them with the birthday person’s name or use them as part of a party game later. If the party is for a child, add plush basketballs or mini figures of basketball players to the display for extra fun.

Basketball Party Food & Drinks

The food and drinks are where you can get really creative with the basketball theme. Some ideas include:

  • Basketball Pizzas: Top mini pizzas with pepperoni in the shape of basketball lines.
  • Slam Dunk Snacks: Serve popcorn, pretzels, and chips in basketball-themed bowls.
  • Basketball Cupcakes: Decorate cupcakes with orange frosting and black lines to mimic basketballs.
  • Court Cookies: Use cookie cutters to create basketball or jersey-shaped cookies and decorate with icing.
  • Team Drinks: Offer orange soda, sports drinks, or fruit punch served in basketball-themed cups.

Set up a concession stand with a sign saying, “Snacks for the Starting Lineup.” Guests will love the interactive touch! Don’t forget the birthday cake! A cake shaped like a court or field with little balls on it is sure to draw attention and taste delicious.

Basketball Party Games and Activities

A basketball-themed party wouldn’t be complete without some exciting games and activities:

  • Mini Basketball Shootout: Set up a small hoop and let guests compete to score the most points in a timed game.
  • Dribble Relay Race: Create a course where guests must dribble basketballs around cones to reach the finish line.
  • Basketball Trivia: Test guests’ knowledge of basketball facts, teams, and players.
  • DIY Jersey Station: Provide plain T-shirts and fabric markers for guests to design their own jerseys.
  • Photo Booth: Set up a photo area with props like foam fingers, basketballs, and team banners.

For younger kids, you can include games like “Pin the Ball on the Hoop” or a basketball-themed piñata filled with candy and small toys.

Basketball Party Party Bag

Send your guests home with fun party bags to remember the event. Use small drawstring bags that look like gym sacks or orange gift bags with basketball designs. Fill them with basketball-themed goodies like:

  • Mini basketballs or stress balls.
  • Whistles, keychains, or wristbands with team logos.
  • Temporary tattoos or stickers.
  • Personalized with name basketballs
  • Sports Water bottles
  • Chocolate coins wrapped in orange foil to resemble basketballs.
  • A thank-you note that says, “Thanks for making [Name]’s party a slam dunk!”

If your party guests are older, consider including a small sports water bottle or a voucher for a local basketball game.
