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.
Rainbow party – Paper Face Party
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!
