Rustic Woodland Party Supplies

A Woodland kids party theme is like a Burberry trench coat in my book – a timeless classic. It’s one of a few themes that can transcend through generations and be updated with the smallest of tweaks, making it a favourite of ours here at Life’s Little Celebrations!

One of the more popular adaptations of this kids party theme we’re seeing across our favourite Instagram accounts is a focus on the rustic and natural elements of an enchanted wood. Bringing the outside in with wooden features, green moss and pops of vibrant red toadstools – it’s an adaptable theme for any kids party, and we’ve found some perfect woodland party supplies from our LLC Vendors to help bring it all together.

The cutest of animals can be incorporated for this kids party woodland theme…from foxes and deers…to bears and raccoons….it’s a great chance to have a bit of fun with some of the partyware and woodland party supplies that is available for this theme at the moment!

Woodland Party Invitations

Cute woodland animals, fairies, toadstools and foliage make a great starting point for your invitations and setting a woodland scene. We love the use of watercolours and hand drawn illustrations for a touch of whimsy.

Woodland Party Decorations

Decorating for a Woodland party theme is all about bringing the outside in (or highlighting nature’s best if hosting outside!). Think lots of greenery with moss and foliage, and wooden accents for a rustic setting amongst the trees.

In our latest issue of Celebrating Little One’s magazine (which you can view HERE) I was delighted to showcase a gorgeous and unique Life’s Little Celebrations collaboration shoot styled by Opulenticity Party and Buffet Styling Perth.

Incorporating a rustic woodland look (and even a pony!) while still keeping the Christmas feel with whites and golds!

The Magic of a Fairy Party Theme

When it comes to little girl’s party themes, it’s fair to say that you’ll throw at least one fairy theme in your child’s early years!

Not only is it a popular theme choice for little girls, there are so many variations available including an enchanted woodland, Tinkerbell, princess fairy and whimsical, you’ll have no trouble pulling it all together and creating magic for her special day. The hardest part will be knowing when to stop!

To help get the imagination rolling, I’ve curated a selection of items from our talented LLC Directory vendors and you’ll find plenty of inspiration over on our Pinterst page as well.

 

Fairy party invitations and printables

Set those wings fluttering with gorgeous coordinated stationary, printables and themed backdrops to help create a magic setting for the fairies to celebrate the occasion.

Fairy Party Decorations

The options are endless for decorating your fairy theme setting, and you can find just about anything you can think of these days to help bring your vision to life. Think lots of pastels, tulle, pom poms and glitter for a modern or princess fairy theme, or spotted mushroom, hessian, woodland creatures, grass and sliced wood cuttings for serving platters if choosing a Tinkerbell or woodland style party.
