Is your child in love with unicorns, fantasy, and fairytales? Then plan an enchanted birthday party your child will never forget with our Unicorn Party Ideas! Read on for general party planning tips as well as great unicorn-themed decorating, food, game, and activity suggestions.

• Choose soft colors like pale green, pink, lavender and white for the decorations.
• Use clear twinkle lights to outline the front door.
• Hang colored streamers from tree branches in the yard. They will float in the breeze and add to the magical fairy atmosphere.
• Make a banner that says “Welcome to (your child’s name) Pixie Dust Party” and hang it near the party entrance. See our coordinating Fairy Banner and let us do the work for you!
• Lay a cardboard drawbridge for the children to cross at the party entrance.
• Have fairy wings and a wand for each guest as they arrive.
• Ask older siblings or neighbors to dress as fairies and help with the party games.
• Form a canopy over the party table using pink and lavender streamers. The streamers should cascade from a bow in the middle (attached to the chandelier or the ceiling) out to the sides of the room.
• Fill the party area with huge tissue paper flowers. See our easy Tissue Paper Flower Kit, or purchase your own supplies and use our instructions for making tissue flowers. Arrange groups of flowers on tables, floors, hanging from the ceiling, or tied to chairs.
• Cut large tree, toadstool and castle shapes out of cardboard, paint them, and hang them on the walls of the party area.
• Turn on a bubble making machine to add to the fairy mood.
• Combine clear mini lights with tulle netting and drape around the party space.
• Another option for creating a canopy is to hang yards of tulle netting from the ceiling. This can be done above the food table, or in another location such as a tree branch, to create a play area for your little fairies. Attach some butterflies and flowers from the craft store, and drape the netting outwards into a circlular shape. Layer the end of the netting over chairs spread in a circle (if creating a play area), or the chairs around the food table.
• Spread flowers and glitter along the center of the main table.
• Make cardboard stars, cover in aluminum foil, and hang them from the ceiling.
• Balloons always mean “Party” to children! Tie groups of helium balloons together and anchor them in place with balloon weights. For greater impact, combine star shaped balloons in pink and silver with colorful latex balloons. Tie a balloon to the back of each chair, and tie a group of five balloons to the birthday child’s chair!
• Consider a pull-string piñata if you would rather not have small children swinging a bat. We offer a selection of traditional and pull-string pinatas, but any traditional pinata can be converted to a pull-string using our easy instructions.
• Ask an older child or adult to dress as a Fairy Queen and make balloon animals for the children. Use our easy Balloon Animals Kit which includes an instruction book, balloons, and balloon inflator. There’s no need to master the entire book! One or two basic shapes will delight young children.
• Consider using our Fairy Party Box, which comes filled with fairy themed plates, napkins, cups, a table cover, streamers, balloons, and more.
• Or see our Fairy Party Decorations for more quick and easy decorating choices!

• Prepare jam sandwiches and cut with a star-shaped cookie cutter.
• Serve vegetable dip in a hollowed out purple cabbage, or fruit dip in a hollowed out melon.
• Serve cut up fruit in clear plastic goblets.
• Prepare our fizzy Enchanted Fairy Punch. Before the party, freeze red juice in ice cube trays. Cranberry juice, pink grapefruit juice or fruit punch drinks could all work. Then on party day, serve lemon-lime soda, and let each child drop in a "magic" ice cube that will make a pink drink fit for a fairy!
• Another option is to offer pink lemonade as your Fairy Punch, and serve it in tea cups.
• Make fairy wand cookies! Simply prepare star-shaped sugar cookies and slide a wooden popsicle stick under each cookie before baking. Bake as usual, and frost as desired. Wooden craft sticks are sold at most craft stores. Try using our Sugar Cut-Out Cookies recipe, your own favorite recipe, or ready-made cookie dough from the grocery store.
• Chocolate dipped strawberries are a favorite fairy snack.
• Prepare Magic Wands from pretzel rods dipped in melted white chocolate. Before the chocolate hardens, dip in pastel sprinkles.
• Make star-shaped crispy rice cereal treats, with colored sugar sprinkled on top.
• Ask your local pizza parlor to make individual heart shaped pizzas for the guests.
• Fill a clear glass with Pixie Stix candy straws, and be sure to call them Pixie Dust! If you wish, allow the children to sprinke some over their food.
• A bowl of jelly beans can be called Fairy Gems.
• Serve drinks with shaped silly straws.
• Use a castle design for the Fairy Birthday Cake. If your child has toy fairy figures, place them on the cake plate as decorations.
• Another option for a Fairy Birthday Cake is a mini wedding-style cake with a fairy figure on top. Simply bake one 9” and one 6” round cake. Stack the smaller cake in the center of the larger one, and cover the entire cake with pink frosting. Add the fairy figure as the cake topper. If you wish, add more decorations like colored sprinkles, or frosting piped into flower shapes.
