How to plan a unicorn birthday party
Planning a party can be a daunting task, especially if you want it to be special. Fret not. With a little organization and forethought it can be a breeze. Here are a few tips to get you started:
Decide on your budget and guest list
When it comes to party planning, the first step is to decide on a budget. Once you have a budget in mind, you can start to think about things like the guest list, the location, and the food and drink.
If you don’t have a clear idea of how much you’re willing to spend, it’s easy to overspend. You can have a fun party on any budget so make sure you decide on a budget that works for you and stick to it!
Choose a venue
The best place to have a party is at home. It’s easier to set up and you have the freedom to decorate as you please. Other great options are the local park or by the beach. You can rent a venue but they tend to be expensive and come with lots of rules on what you can and can’t do.
Figure out a theme
Whether you want to go all out with an elaborate decorations and cake or keep it simple with some unicorn-themed party favors, there are plenty of options to choose from. Think about what your guest of honor would love and choose a theme accordingly.
Use colorful backdrops and props to create an enchanted scene. Do some research on Pinterest or other online sources for ideas, or simply pull inspiration from your favorite unicorn cartoons. You don’t need a lot of expensive gear to create an amazing backdrop. Items like colorful sheets or large balloons can be used for next to nothing.

Take lots of photos!
Have someone help take photographs for you – this will save you time taking photos yourself! My favorite designated photographer is hubby.
