Tribal Inspired Party Theme Ideas

boho luxe party theme

Dream A Little Dream Events Perth

 

If there’s one thing I admire the most about this industry, it’s the creativity of taking a bespoke theme so unrelated to the industry, and turning it into something magical that spreads like wildfire.

A great example is the luxe boho theme that has taken over my Instagram feed. Just add unicorns and suddenly it’s a children’s party! I have seen so many magical versions of this theme, ranging from pastels, feathers and unicorns for a pretty and feminine feel, to a more tribal vibe for boys – and I love them all!

So where do you start if you want to give this a go yourself? As always, we’ve sourced some great finds from our LLC Vendors from the Directory to make it easy for you to shop and plan for your kids party! Simply CLICK on any image in the blog post to be taken to where you can source/order the item!

 

Boho Party Theme Invitations

To set the bohemian vibe, start with the magical elements of dreamcatchers, feathers, unicorns and tee pees, and choose a colour palette of pastels for a more whimsical influence, or rustic, earthy tones for a more tribal feel.

This is one theme you can really let your imagination go wild with. If you’ve chosen more of a tribal vibe, why not set up camp, Pocohontas and The Lost Boys style? Prefer pastels and feathers? Introduce cushions, lots of macrame, draped fabrics and lace for a bohemian retreat.

Boho Theme Prop Hire

A tee pee isn’t something most of us have lying around the house, but if you can borrow or hire one and accessorise it with cushions and throws, it really helps bring this theme together.

How about making it a slumber party with guests having their own individual tee pee? I love this idea for older girls.

American Indian 1st Birthday Celebration

An American Indian theme has become so popular this last year and I love this gorgeous party we are showcasing today as the colours are bright and vibrant and the theme has really come to life through the props and styling from Sydney based Sweet Heavenly Events Hire!

 

As Mary from Sweet Heavenly Events explains: “Vicky came to us and told us what she had in mind for her daughter Valentina’s Birthday.  We jumped at the chance of styling something unique and amazing. We got to work with our crazy and talented bunch of vendors to design something gorgeous. Using our Marble timber stands and our copper table ware it was a true masterpiece.”

Enjoy the incredible images and details and you will find all the vendor credits at the end of this post with many vendors you can find on our Directory!:

Little Indian party supplies

There has been a recent trend in kids party themes based around a Little Indian theme – or similar – with an aztec/tribal feel, teepee’s, dream catchers etc.

It’s one of those unique themes that as far as colour schemes go – anything goes! However I’ve included lots of partyware to go with a rustic colour palette as that can mix in with any other colours you’ve chosen for this theme. I’ve also attached a few chevron items which would work in with the arrow shape.

The vendors in the Handmade decor category on the Directory are perfect to use for a theme like this where you can’t find items in regular party stores. You can find people to create a custom cake topper for you, cupcake toppers, garlands – anything really! Printables are also fabulous to use for this theme as you can purchase your printable decorations all in one spot.

 

Printables & Invitations

Since most of these printables are custom designed, if you need a different colour scheme they can easily be changed for you and many are available in “boy” and “girl” printable sets:

 

Dream catcher invitation – Giggles and Grace Designs

 

Little Indian/Aztec invitation (matching items available) – Edge House Design

Decorations

A gorgeous feather garland is perfect for this theme, and these are available in various colours at the tip!:

A gorgeous idea is using a wall decal such as this one as a backdrop for a dessert table –  that you can then use in your child’s room:

Another dessert table backdrop idea is a stag head such as this one:

Feathers are a great decorating accessory for this theme. You can use them to attach to favour bags or candy jars, or the kids can use them to make their own headress:
