I like to do theme parties because its easier for me to gather up the items I need. Iv'e decided to go with a circus theme! The bright colors are really appealing to me and I think little kids like them too!
So, I've been looking on the Internet and have started buying some of the items. Some don't have anything to do with circus or carnival but I got such a good deal I decided I would store it away for the next birthday boy!
I have alot more to find and get but here is what I'm planning...
Find a vintage fabric or tablecloth:
Love these:
From the Fabric Finder
Here are some good examples of fun invitation for this theme:
from TLC by Tara
or make my own. I'm thinking about doing some circus magnets and putting it on the invitation!
Party Games: I'm thinking really fun carnival games or even classic games like pin the tail on the donkey!
Duck Game from Great Deals for You 06
shooting range available at Target
From Pottery Barn Kids
Food: Carnival food is so simple and Cheap! Popcorn, cotton candy and hot dogs! Along with some soda pop, water and lemon aid!

Accessories and goodies:
