Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were – Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.

If there’s any other rabbit that can outdo the Easter bunny in popularity, it’s Peter Rabbit. The cheeky bunny in a blue peacoat and his friends are stealing the lime light these Easter school holidays with a film that I personally cannot wait to see, recreating the children’s classic story by Beatrix Potter.
The Beatrix Potter characters come alive in an action animated comedy directed and co-written by Will Gluck, based on the mischievous Peter Rabbit (voiced by James Corden) and his feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson). This much loved bunny party theme will last well after the Easter bunny goes back to his burrow for another year.
A Peter Rabbit theme is perfect for baby showers, first birthdays and christenings as you can take as little or as much of the classic story as inspiration as you like. Think shades of his pretty blue peacoat, natural earthy tones and textures, vegetables and of course Peter himself! Here’s our wrap up of finds from our LLC Vendors to help inspire and shop from for your upcoming Peter Rabbit party.
Peter Rabbit party invitations
There are so many ways of presenting this party theme, with as little or as much reference to the characters as you like. But Peter is just so cute, he’d have to make an appearance somewhere, surely!

Peter Rabbit party decorations
Peter’s playground is Mr McGregor’s vegetable patch, so take inspiration from the colours and textures of the garden and have a little fun with your decorations by incorporating elements of the story (and garden!) into your theme.

Peter Rabbit party hire items
It’s the little details that help bring a theme together, so hiring items you don’t readily have on hand (or want to keep!) is a great way to achieve the look you’re after. From extra tables and chairs, play equipment and cake platters, we’ve found some great items that will do the trick.

Peter Rabbit party tableware
Whilst it’s easy enough to find branded Peter Rabbit tableware and accessories, it’s always nice to pair them up with other coordinating items in keeping with your theme. Take colour cues from the veggie patch, Peter’s peacoat and add a touch of gold for something pretty.

At last, Peter Rabbit made his way back to the cozy burrow where he lived with his family. He was a very tired bunny indeed!
Peter Rabbit is such a classic story which I’m sure was part of all our childhood’s – so it’s wonderful to see it well loved even today and used as a birthday party theme especially for 1st birthday’s as well as baby showers or to base an Easter party around.
