Unicorn Party Ideas--Decorations, Treats and Games

Birthday cake and party hats – Note how this darling cake (1) simply features a glittery unicorn cutout and candle number, atop swirls of pink frosting roses. While the party hats (2) can be ordered online all prettied up and ready to use, or can be DIYed with pink and blue tissue fringe and gold glitter paper!

Delightful decorations – An instant backdrop (3) can come courtesy of giant letter balloons to spell out the celebrant’s name, age or a fun unicorn-related word. Meanwhile, the party tables (4) can simulate an enchanted world of rainbows, clouds, frills and flowers—using pastel ribbons, tissue streamers and pompoms, floral garlands for the chairs, gold painted vases of blooms, and pink and blue wrapped packages on each plate.

Unicorn-themed activities – To get the little ones truly into the theme, have a “DIY unicorn horn” activity (5) where they decorate sugar cones (that you’ve pre-dipped in melted white almond bark) with a delightful array of sprinkles, pearls, and sparkly sugar.

Outdoors, you can set up the cutest “unicorn rides” station (6) for the guests to take flight, and an adorable unicorn photo booth (7) for capturing all the sweet smiles!
