Owl Theme

For all the wise little one’s out there, an Owl party theme is gorgeously cute and perfect for boys, girls and twins!

I love the idea of incorporating browns and natural colours and textures into this party theme, but really you can style this party with a range of colours depending on your chosen invitations.

Team this theme with birds (see our Little Birdy theme ), woodland features (see our woodland party theme) or it is perfect to stand as it’s own theme as well.

 Invitations/Printables

Love the colour scheme used in these printables for boys and girls:

 

Fairydust Stylish Stationary has loads of cute owl printable options. Here is one of them, but there are many with other colour choices:

Love the idea of combining owls with buntings as opposed to branches:

 Decorations

The pastel shades of these Alimrose buntings work well with this theme and are perfect for future themes and use in the nursery:

The natural look of this paper bunting would work in well if you are using a wood element to this theme:

A cute hoot birthday banner perfect for behind the cake:

Love these colours together in this paper garland. Perfect for an owl party in blues and browns:

You could mix them in with these cute polka dot balloons:

Tableware

For your tableware I was delighted to see that these new coloured linen options are now available from Occasion by Design in a range of colours. It makes setting the base of your table so easy to match with your colour scheme!

 

If you are using plastic tablecloths, then this sweet owl tablerunner could help bring your owl theme to life.

This tablerunner (also available with pink stripes) is great in incorporating the natural/wood look into your table:

I thought these plate options were really cute and stylish if you are looking for theme based plates:

 

You can incorporate natural textures through these items:
