Safari Party

Let's Go Exploring!
Turning five is an adventure all its own. We celebrated my daughter's fifth birthday with an exciting safari. Here's a peek at the fun we had.

Decorations included khaki tablecloths used as curtains which turned our carport into a cozy tent on the savannah. Red, orange, black, white and (so cute!) animal print balloons hung from the ceiling in big bunches like grapes. This eliminated the need for helium.

 

I set the tables with leopard print plates, zebra print water bottles, and an unexpected snake or two. 

The buffet food was so colorful, it didn't need much embellishment.
-Just some artful arranging by my talented Aunt Beth backed by some tall, reedy, orange grasses.

Chocolate cupcakes topped with white icing and plastic safari animals were easy, yummy, fun, and pretty!

Fruits, veggies, and a candy necklace.
It's all about balance.





As thank you gifts, I covered bubble solution in zebra labels and made take home cd's of the party music. These were a big hit, and are still played on every car trip we ever take.

A huge spray of long grass in a tall vase anchors the display.

Fun and games for our safari came in the form of wild animal tattoos, bubbles, a bounce house, and a slip-n-slide. 

It was a wonderfully colorful day packed with silly fun.






Thanks for stopping by.
