Tips for Throwing an Amazing Circus-Themed Party
Create a Festive Atmosphere with Decorations
No circus-themed party is complete without decorations! To get the party started, hang a banner or festive bunting with a big top theme. You can also hang up flags and colorful paper lanterns around the room. Add a few helium balloons with different circus animals on them and hang some streamers. For extra fun, you can hang up a few circus-themed pinwheels or a circus-themed piñata.
Choose Fun Table Decorations
To really get your guests in the circus spirit, you’ll want to choose fun and festive table decorations. Start with a checkered tablecloth and colorful plates, napkins and cups. Then add some fun centerpieces like a mini ferris wheel, a carousel horse, or a clown on a unicycle. Use some of your leftover balloons to create a festive balloon arch over your food table. You can also add a few circus-themed props like a stuffed circus animal or a top hat.
Have a Fun Photo Booth
No party is complete without a fun photo booth! To create a circus-themed photo booth, hang up a big red and white striped backdrop and add some clown props like a red nose, big red shoes, and a wig. You can also add some other props like colorful umbrellas, juggling pins, and big top hats. Have a few of your guests dress up in clown costumes and have them pose with your other guests. For extra fun, you can even add a few circus animals like a lion or an elephant!
Serve Delicious Circus-Themed Treats
What’s a circus-themed party without some delicious treats? Serve up some popcorn and other circus-themed snacks like cotton candy, candy apples, and peanuts. For the main course, you can serve up mini hot dogs, hamburgers, and corn dogs. If you’re feeling creative, you can make some fun circus animal-shaped cookies, cupcakes, and cake pops. For the adults, you can serve up some circus-themed adult beverages like a candy apple martini or a caramel popcorn vodka.
Make Some Fun Circus Games
To really get your guests in the circus spirit, you can make some fun circus-themed games. You can have a fun clown-themed ring toss game or a balloon-popping game. You can also have a fun clown-themed treasure hunt or a clown-themed scavenger hunt. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even have a small petting zoo with a few baby animals like calves, sheep, and goats!
