I know you are a busy mom!

If you want to throw a budget friendly unicorn party for your child, but really wish someone would do some simple decorations for you, head over to my shop and snag our Unicorn Party Printable Pack  now!

You will love it!

My daughter is 6 and is absolutely obsessed with unicorns. She has unicorn clothing, jeweller, soft toys, ornaments etc. If it has a unicorn on it, she is in love.

When we were preparing for her 6th birthday party, I was absolutely certain she was going to choose a unicorn themed party.

But no, she chose Trolls! I knew she loved Trolls, but I was still pretty shocked as I thought her unicorn obsession far outweighed her Trolls obsession. Clearly I was wrong.

But, besides my daughter choosing not to have this theme, she has been ecstatic when her friends have!

To be honest, a unicorn birthday party is one of those party themes that just gives you all the warm fuzzies. So if in doubt, you really wont stray too far wrong if you pick this theme.

How Do You Throw A Unicorn Party?

Creating a unicorn themed birthday is a lot of fun and one that is going to look SO pretty.
Think pastel colors but also with a little bit of sparkle. With some simple decorations and themed food putting together a unicorn birthday party is a breeze.

Creating it on a budget is pretty easy to when you know how.

Read on to find out about these awesome unicorn party ideas that are super easy for you to undertake.

Unicorn Birthday Party Food

Struggling to think of what food to serve at a unicorn party? Struggle no more!Think pretty pastel colors, unicorn horns and a bit of glitter. You could pretty much turn any popular party food into the unicorn theme.

Here however are a few suggestions to help.

Knowing how to make marshmallow pops is crucial for kids parties.

Why?

Simple. They are quick and easy to make, they can be made according to any party theme and they always disappear!

For a unicorn birthday party you can cover them with multi colored sprinkles or stick to the color theme of the party.  Either way they will look fab and taste delicious.

This unicorn art would look super cute sitting on the party table, and once the party is over it can easily be transferred to some bedroom wall art.

There are two designs to choose from and both are equally adorable.

10. Party Backdrop

Whilst this party backdrop was initially made for my daughter’s Princess birthday party, it can literally be used for any party theme and it would look adorable at a unicorn birthday party. Choose the colors of the backdrop related to the colors in your party, and then simply follow the tutorial.

This is a stunning backdrop that will really give maximum impact to the party table.

Unicorn Party Favors or Party Activities

11. Unicorn Wall Ring

I did debate whether to list this beautiful unicorn wall ring  under decorations or activities, as it really is both!

It would be perfect to make a few prior to the party to hang around as decoration, and then incorporate making one into a party activity. The kids could all then take one home as a favor item. It makes the perfect all rounder!

12. How To Make A Unicorn Headband

Unicorn head bands are gorgeous. With this super cute trend that is happening right now, I’ve seen headbands popping up everywhere. They would be awesome as a party favor, but if you have 10 or more kids attending a party, they would get pretty expensive to buy.

This tutorial is therefore the perfect answer.

Make your own unicorn headbands and then you can hand them out to every child at the party. How adorable would it be to see all the children wearing one.

Maybe it’s also an excuse to get the girls over for a night of catch up and wine drinking, whilst also conveniently making a bunch of headbands for the party!

13. Unicorn Terracotta Pot Plants

These unicorn pot plants would be ideal as a party activity. They are simple to make, but also fun for the kids to take home and continue to enjoy.

Kids love the idea of taking care of plants as they grow, so what better way to do this than turn the pot into a magical unicorn pot.

The tutorial will show you exactly how it’s done.
