Carnival Theme PartyCome One, Come All… To the Great Carnival Theme Party! Step right up for great kids carnival party ideas and carnival party games! The invitations are large tickets containing the carnival party or clown party theme information. These tickets—each in one of a variety of colors—even have perforated creases so the carnival tickets can be torn, leaving a stub. I recommend the Printable Party Invitation Creator that allows you to print over 300 unique printable party invitations, including theme party & birthday party invitations, birthday cards, party games, puzzles, and much more. A tent canopy is the main feature, either in the back yard or in some designated space. In the dead of winter, the carnival is indoors, within a large designated space or the basement, with tent canvas covering the ceiling and draped down the walls to resemble the inside of a tent. Inside the tent is a series of simple homemade games (see below). For something more original than streamers/balloons, try a giant “charm bracelet” containing a variety of items to color up the carnival. These items can be carnival party supplies or personal references to the birthday kid strung along, say, a clothes line encircling or right down the middle of the tent. Maybe the kids can pick prizes off as they go along. As for music, you can hire a carnival musician or a man with a performing monkey.
What would a carnival party be without real carnival food? Popcorn served in red and white popcorn containers, hot dogs, and cotton candy. You can even build a concession stand for real carnival authenticity! As for the birthday cake, perhaps you can bake a three-dimensional cake of your child’s favorite circus theme party supplies. See our kids party recipe cookbook for lots of recipe ideas.
