Birthday Party Theme: Circus Party
The circus is great fun for kids and grown-ups alike.
The brightly colored tents, the animals, and the trapeze
artists are especially exciting for small children.
That's why a circus birthday party is sure to be a hit
for any boy or girl.
Circus Party Invitations and Decorations
Invitations for a circus party could take many forms.
You can find invitations featuring circus animals or
clowns at your local discount or party supply store. You
could also find designs online or included with your
favorite printing software. Or, if you want to get
really creative, you could make invitations by hand.
Circus posters or tickets make excellent invitations to
a circus birthday party. For extra fun, you could dress
the honoree up as a clown or trapeze artist and take his
picture to add to the invitations. Get creative with the
wording and layout for a more authentic circus feel.
Primary colors are perfect for a circus party. Lots of
balloons in those colors are inexpensive yet realistic
circus decorations. If your child has some large stuffed
animals such as lions, tigers, bears, monkeys, or
elephants, you could set them around the house.
Circus Party Food and Favors
Popcorn is a staple at the circus, and it makes a
wonderful snack for a circus birthday party. If you
happen to have a cotton candy machine, fresh cotton
candy is good too. You could add some small fruits such
as grapes or berries or larger fruit cut into slices for
good measure.
Cake ideas for a circus party include clowns, tents, or
animals. If you're making the cake yourself, you could
use chocolate icing to resemble a dirt floor, and add
toy circus animals as toppers. Cupcakes are also great
at a circus party. You could bake them in ice cream
cones for added fun.
There are lots of favors that would work for a circus
party. Small stuffed circus animals are a fitting
choice. Animal stickers are also a favorite. For
homemade favors, you could buy a large box of animal
crackers and fill small bags with them, tying them up
with colorful ribbons.
Circus Party Games and Activities
Hiring a clown is a natural choice for a circus party,
but that could eat into your party budget. A parent
could dress up as a clown and entertain the children, or
you could forgo the clown altogether and come up with
other fun activities. There are lots of simple games you
could provide for a circus party.
A beanbag toss game is easy to make with a large piece
of cardboard. You could also create a "Pin the Nose on
the Clown" game that kids will love. Putting small,
inexpensive favors into balloons and blowing them up,
then letting the kids pop balloons and keep the prizes
they get, makes for an entertaining activity as well.
And don't forget the face paint. Kids love getting their
faces painted, even if you're not the world's greatest
artist.
Circus parties can be as much fun as the circus itself.
They're great for both boys and girls. And best of all,
a circus party will be fun for a variety of ages.
