Woodland Winter Birthday Party: Can-Do Decorating Ideas!

We love a woodland theme for children’s parties (and who doesn’t?) because it works perfectly for both boy and girl celebrants. Plus it allows you to combine the ever-popular rustic look with kiddie elements from cutesy to crafty. And if you happen to be hosting the party in the winter, a woodland theme lets you bring the outdoors in where it’s warm and cozy!

Come and see our fun finds, from welcome sign to birthday cake to party favors—all featuring adorable forest critters to delight the party guests!

Woodland Party Decorations with the Cutest Critters

Bring in those quaint images and darling figurines of forest animals, and tada! Instant woodland party decor!

Of course, it begins with announcing your little one’s birthday theme. Choose charming party invitations (1) featuring his or her favorite woodland friends, and send them off in rustic-style kraft envelopes. Then, on party day, hang a festive birthday banner (6) at the party entrance to greet guests. The “furry” pompoms hint at animal tails, too, don’t you think?

All eyes will surely be on the party treats! So have the birthday cake (2) and a display of frosted cupcakes (5) topped with more of those cute forest creatures—whether in fondant, little plastic toys, or ceramic figurines that can be kept as collectibles.

Continue the critter accents to the party tables and chair decor (4) with fun face masks that can double as take-home favors. And speaking of favors, why not DIY some personalized woodland animal bookmarks (3) and package some sweet treats in burlap pouches with wood chip favor tags (7)!

With even the most basic party elements, just bring in those delightful forest friends and woodsy accents—and you’ll be surprised how easy it is to create a wonderful Woodland Theme!
