Rainbow Birthday Party Supplies

A rainbow party theme has to be one of the brightest, happiest party themes for any age, wouldn’t you agree? There’s just something about so much colour that makes you smile, even on a gloomy day.

 

This is one theme you can’t go wrong with when coordinating your tableware and decorations – just think bright, bold colours and as much of it as you can find! Yes, your room may end up looking like a rainbow exploded, but that’s what we’re aiming for!

We’ve seen some gorgeous examples of rainbow party theme styling this year, and to help you save time finding all the bits and pieces you’ll need to bring it all together, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite items for you to simply click and add to cart. Your welcome!

 

So let’s get this party started – and remember to CLICK on any image to be taken to where you can purchase / order that partyware from!

 

Rainbow party invitations

Turn an ordinary day into a bright one when your guests open an invitation full of colour and the fun of a rainbow party to look forward to. Choose from preprinted or customised invitations and send them in brightly coloured envelopes filled with confetti for a n added surprise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rainbow party decorations

Remember, we’re aiming for an explosion of colour, so think bold and don’t be shy. Alternatively, a table covered in a crisp white tablecloth will ensure your colourful treats and decorations shine bright, and doubles as a fluffy white cloud!

 

 

Love the concept of setting a rainbow dessert table against the black chalkboard look to make the colours really stand out!:

Rainbow party tableware

A rainbow explodes in my head when I think of how many table setting options this theme lends itself to! From cups and plates in bold primary colours, spread across the table and littered with confetti, to striped coordinated tableware on a crisp white table cloth – let your imagination go and get creative with this one. There is no such thing as too much colour!

Batman Party Supplies

Ka-Pow! Splat! Oooff!

How cool were the pop culture Batman comics back in the day? Like all good Superhero’s, he’s morphed over time but never really gone out of style, making a Batman party a popular choice for children’s birthday parties of all ages, and an easy one to source and style for.

 

 

 

 

Whether you choose the bold and bright colours of the comics as your inspiration, or colour blocked black and white or yellow, the options are endless with this theme, as are the supplies available to pull it all together. So we’ve rounded up a few finds from our LLC vendors to give you a head start.

 

Batman Party Invitations

When I think of Batman, his iconic bat signal instantly comes to mind, as does a lot of black and the comic book speech bubbles. Of course not everyone is expected to be Batman, so you can also  extend the invitation to all Superhero’s (or Villains) with a more general superhero invite:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Batman Party Decorations

Pick your colour palette and have some fun decorating your space with plenty of punch (pardon the pun!) and props for the Superhero’s to act out their alter egos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you have a little batgirl instead?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This cool batman pinata also doubles as a great decoration:

 

 

 

Perfect for the younger ones, a pint sized Bat Mobile!

 

 

 

Tableware

To ensure Batman plays the lead role in his own show, keep the tableware to a minimum of two colours, or use coordinated plates, napkins and cups for the comic book effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cake, cookies and toppers

If you’ve predominately used block colours to decorate, cake toppers, the cake itself and custom cookies are a great way to incorporate the Batman logo into your theme, and likewise if you’ve chosen the comic approach, as it will ensure Batman is still in the spotlight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cookies make a great take home gift too when wrapped in cellophane and tied off with black ribbon or twine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Favours

Keep the excitement going well after the party with these great finds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last but not least, for our mini Batman fans – this post would not be complete without a costume! Perfect for first birthday photos, smashing into their first bite of cake. Too cute!!

 

 

Phew! With so much to choose from for this theme and so many ways of interpreting it, I hope this post has taken out some of the leg work out of it for you!

 

See you next time at the same Bat time on the same Bat channel…..(couldn’t help myself!).

 

Let’s get pampered spa party theme

I can remember some pretty fun parties as a kid, with many of my favourite themes still being reinvented these days, which brings back some memories!

But if there’s one theme that I so wish I had thought of when I was 10, it’s a pamper party theme.

Perfect for double digits but just as easily adapted for younger girls, the pamper party or spa party theme is quickly becoming popular so I’ve done a quick whip around our LLC vendors to provide you with a little inspiration!

Now of course I am all about keeping things fun and age-appropriate when it comes to this theme. I think there is a way to keep this party theme light hearted and just a bit of fun for the girls without mum’s having to stress about creating a truly adult-like spa or pamper experience.

 

 

I love this glamorous take on the theme, incorporating a fashion parade at the end!

Or why not make it a slumber party, complete with individual tents and TV trays for a DIY makeover before bed?

 

 

You can use one of the hire companies on the Directory to set up a cute setting for the girls:

 

Invitations

Dependent on the age, your invitations and colour palette can be anything from pretty pastels, to pink and gold, or black, white and hot pink for the older girls.

Give your guests a taste of what to expect with these gorgeous examples and matching printables.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decorations

Of course every great spa has a relaxing ambience and stylish decor, so prop your room with individual foot spas, hand bowls for manicures, cute chairs, towels and flowers ready for a little TLC.

Then add pops of fun with balloons, hanging decorations and table arrangements.

A printed backdrop such as this one can be used for a dessert table or a photo backdrop:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tableware

Rather than setting a table for a seated party, opt for a table filled with bite size sweets and savouries for the kids to nibble on in between treatments, styled with coordinated tableware.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sweet Treats

A party wouldn’t be a party without a few sweet treats, but best make them bite size to prevent ruining wet nail polish!

I love the idea of high tea stands stacked with finger sandwiches, macarons, strawberries dipped in chocolate, and themed cookies that double as take home treats. Oh, and cake. Always cake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How great are these chocolate moulds for manicure sets, lipsticks and hairdryers?!!

 

 

 

Love this fun pamper party cake!:

 

Party Favours

Let the guests take home something special in these favour bags

 

 

 

What do you send your pampered little guests home with to top it all off? Nothing less than a personal mirror of course!

 

This is also a super sweet party favour idea:

 

 

Of course for those who don’t have the room at home or the time to organise it, many venues and roaming entertainment providers are now offering pamper parties as part of their theme repertoire, making them a great options for larger groups too.

 

 

 

 

Perhaps I need to relive my childhood and plan one of these myself…especially being pregnant at the moment I think I’m due for some pampering!

I hope you’ve found some great inspiration for your child’s spa pampering party.

 

Modern Safari party theme

A jungle or safari theme has always been a popular choice for baby showers or first birthdays, but lately we’re seeing a digression from the traditional colour palette of bright colours and cute characters to a more sophisticated and modern interpretation, which I’m just loving!

Keeping to a monochrome theme, it’s easy to build on your theme with highlights of gold or tropical fauna for a big impact just like these beautifully styled occasions by some of our talented LLC vendors.

Remember to CLICK onto any of the images below to find more details or where to purchase/order the items!:

 

 

Modern Jungle Safari – styled by Opulenticity Party & Buffet Styling

 

 

 

 

 

This is one theme that can be so easily achieved with what is readily available, and to help you I’ve pulled together a few of my favourite items from some of our LLC vendors to get you started.

 

Invitations

A great place to start when setting your theme! Choose a black and white colour palette with touches of gold, or turn those accents into show stopping starting blocks like this gorgeous Inka print and sunrise invitation from Loulou Pie Creative. These colours can then be picked up throughout your tableware and decorations for an impressive effect.

 

 

 

Although I am showcasing the whole dessert table setup for these gorgeous safari parties below I want to particularly highlight the gorgeous backdrop designs which would also be available for use as an invitation and other party stationery:

 

 

 

 

Table setting

For a monochrome look use black and white as your base for the majority of your tableware, then add highlights of gold, blush pink or tropical fauna using some of these finds.

 

 

Black chevron plate – Love The Occasion

 

 

Napkins – The Little Event Company

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This tablecloth is perfect if you want to go with a rustic look:

 

 

 

 

Decorations

If you want to go for a monochrome look then stick to the rule of using only black and white for the majority of your decorations and choose a few stand out items such as jumbo confetti balloons, cake toppers or the use of tropical foliage to bring it all together, or simply stick to all black and white if you wish!

You could also stick to a basic colour scheme of mainly white, or rustic brown and then use gold highlights in the decorations or desserts. Safari animals spray painted gold are an easy DIY to help give the dessert table a fun and modern look!

These items are perfect to decorate a safari cake and make it a stand out!:

 

 

 

 

You can see how the above acrylic embellishments were used on this stunning cake in a party by The Pumpkin Carriage

 

 

For your room decorations, a few items to really fit the Safari style is all you need. You can then mix them in with more neutral items such as honeycomb decorations or plain coloured balloons:

You can literally let your imagination run ‘wild’ with this theme, and the beauty of keeping it to a minimal monochrome palette wth luxe touches is that you don’t need to be a stylist to pull it off either!

 

 

What’s trending in party themes

Just like the world of fashion – party theme trends seem to come and go, but there’ll always be your classics.

If you love styling, events and party planning then I’m sure you enjoy seeing the latest party decor which is available!

Making it easy to keep up with the trends and find everything you require to execute the theme of your choice is LLC vendor, Ruby Rabbit Partyware. Owner Alex has her finger on the pulse when it comes to sourcing new supplies, so who better to ask a few questions on what we should be looking out for than the party Queen herself!

 

T: What are some of the most popular colour schemes you are noticing for boys and girls parties at the moment ?

A: Trending this season for boys’ parties is the ‘Little Camper’ theme with the use of teepees, monochrome colour choices and a touch of green cactus fun! Outdoor fun with lots of space for energetic little boys to run wild! Unicorns and rainbows continues to be our most popular girls’ birthday party theme followed closely by Alice in Wonderland.

These themes are whimsical and timeless keeping both Mum and birthday girl happy with being able to add a personal touch when it comes to styling the party. These themes suit a broad range of ages from first birthdays up to around eight year olds.

 

 

 

 

T: What unique decorating ideas and theme ideas would you suggest for a baby shower? 

A: I’m loving the green palm leaf with luxe gold for something a little different, or for a softer touch with baby pink.

I’m a sucker for palms and have a ridiculous amount of cushion covers in my home in just that! Yes, I may have a cushion obsession, a rather large one my hubby would say!

 

 

 

 

T: What are your top picks for spring / summer party trends ? Any particular themes or looks? 

A: The party shop is busy with lots of fun bold colourful orders heading out the door as we move into Spring. Plus we can’t get enough of those green palm leaf and gold pineapple party pieces!

 

 

 

 

 

T: What are some of the well loved kids themes you have noticed from your most popular  customer buys? 

A: It seems that pale pink and gold isn’t fading, especially for little girls’ 1^st birthdays.

Unicorns and rainbows are a close second and then super cool monochrome for the boys, plus colourful confetti spot orders are always strong and work perfectly for both girls and boys.

The ever popular donuts theme has faded away this year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

T: Are there any must have items you would suggest for mums planning their first kids party? 

A: Balloons and a fun cake topper! Balloons are such simple happy party decorations, and cake toppers can add that little special something to your cake. Both are definite must haves!

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for these tips Alex!
