Paw-some Puppy Party

They’re cute, fluffy, make great friends, and as it turns out – a great party theme too!

Puppies have hit the party scene in a big way, from everyone’s favourite Paw Patrol characters to adopt a puppy concepts. It’s a theme that’s here to stay and is a great party theme for kids of all ages and perfect for anyone who loves their pup or begging mum and dad for one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

With so many possible variations of this theme, we’ve found some simple supplies from our LLC Vendors to help get you inspired. Just pick a puppy and run with it. Remember to CLICK on any of the below images to be taken to that business!

Puppy party invitations

A puppy party theme can be as subtle or over the top as you can like. Using characteristics we can all associate with puppies like bones or paw prints in your invitations is a great way to set the scene, leaving the puppies as the focus for the main event.

 

 

 

 

 

Puppy party decorations

A Puppy party theme suits either a neutral colour scheme similar to your pup of choice, or one with pops of colour. We love the idea of an adopt a puppy station with collar making and certificates, so use this as your focus and make it fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puppy party tableware

We have seen an example of dog bowls used as tableware for this theme, but if it’s not exactly what you had in mind, there’s plenty of puppy themed or neutral tableware to choose from too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puppy party cakes and accessories

Just like their puppies, owners love their treats! So make them puppy themed with cute paw print accessories and puppy inspired cakes and cookies.

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.

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!:
