Gather up your friends & let’s have some big top tent fun – with Carnival Party Supplies!
The Carnival Birthday Party has arrived and the clowns are acting up as they create exciting and exaggerated silly fun.
Watch as they trip over their large red shoes and blow up and twist some animal balloons for the party guests.
For the ultimate Carnival birthday party theme, there is nothing better to get started with planning than to begin with the Circus Carnival Deluxe Party Kit.
Let’s also take a look at other great items such as carnival party decor, circus carnival costumes, our favorite carnival personalized circus keepsakes and circus party games.
The entire Carnival birthday party should have a feeling of fun so your décor should reflect this. Use lots of bright 
colors with Carnival themed images.
The Three Ring Deluxe Circus Party Pack has everything you need to host the perfect Carnival party. The red, blue and yellow colors are reflected throughout – from the crepe paper to the plates & cutlery to the centerpiece and table cloth.
You can also create a hilarious photo station with the Circus Photo Prop. Have each guest get their photo taken and then send them home with a copy of the photo for a great souvenir. Use the photos you take during the day to make a special birthday keepsake album for your child.
Circus Carnival Food & Drinks
A Carnival birthday party means a menu filled with delicious finger foods and treats. Serve corn dogs, hot dogs & chicken fingers. Rent an old fashioned popcorn machine and then add the authentic Pop Corn boxes to really showcase the Carnival theme. You can also rent machines that make cotton candy & ask one of the adults attending the party to host that station.
As far as beverages go, serve ice cold lemonade or root beer (pink lemonade also works great for a girl’s party) or serve a classic Carnival punch by combining the following ingredients:
- 48 oz Red or Purple Grape juice
- 48 oz unsweetened Pineapple juice
- 3 liters of 7-up or Sprite
- 2 Oranges
- 2 Limes
- 1 Ice Ring
Place the ice ring in the punch bowl. Add the grape juice first, followed by the pineapple juice, the 7-up or Sprite in that order. It becomes your choice whether or not to stir as some people prefer to simply let the tastes bleed into each other.
Put slices of oranges and slices of lime gentle on top of the liquid so that they float there.
For the Carnival birthday cake you have plenty of options. Bake a batch of cupcakes and have each guest decorate their own. If you are a little more into controlling the details, you can still go the cupcake route, but decorate them yourself and top each one with a letter from the Happy Birthday Candle Pick Set. You can also go with the traditional cake route decorated with colors from the party and then finish it off with JoJo’s Circus Cake Topper.
Carnival Party Games & Activities
The classic Carnival games work well for this birthday party theme. Set up little gaming areas for Pin the Tail on the Donkey, a wet sponge throw and Clown Ball Toss game. Ordering the Clown Ball Toss Game will perfectly match with your Three Ring Circus party pack.
A piñata is always a big “hit” at any party and the Circus Big Top 17” piñata is no exception. Imagine the squeals of delight as your child and their friends take turns trying to split open the piñata & collect the treasures inside.
You can also set up a face painting area so each guest can have their face decorated in the Carnival party theme. Keep things easy by ordering the Clown Makeup kit which comes with everything you need (including a how to guide with photos).
Costumes are a great way to really emphasize a theme and the Carnival costumes will totally take your party to the next level. There is an incredible selection of costumes to choose from and if you find a costume you really love, you can also wear it for Halloween.
Whether you just want to dress up the birthday guest of honor or have as many people as possible
dressing the part, costumes are a great way to ensure all your guests get the maximum experience from your party.
