Party Inspiration: Giraffe First Birthday Party

 

The Giraffe Theme is popular for baby showers, but would also make a darling theme for a first birthday party. It’s a gender neutral theme with the predominant colours being orange & yellow. If you’re planning a Giraffe party, invite your guests with this invitation from Tiny Prints . Hang Sunset Orange poms poms, over the party table. Decorate with a coordinating birthday banner, which you can make yourself, or buy on Etsy. Make, or buy giraffe shaped cookies & decorate them with your theme colours. Decorate cupcakes with orange & yellow frosting & top them with these cute giraffe cupcake toppers from Etsy. Serve lemonade, & display in a pretty pitcher with lots of lemon slices. Create a mini candy bar around your theme colours. Prepare a fruit bowl / platter so that your little guests can munch on some healthy treats as well. Why not carve giraffe shaped sandwiches like this one from Funky Lunch, and give each guest a giraffe favour box to fill with take home candy? Gather a few rings, & a stuffed giraffe, & let your guests enjoy a game of giraffe ring toss.

Squiggle some spots on yellow giraffe shaped baloons & use these as party favours & / or,  make or buy little stuffed giraffes, like this Dwell Studio version, & attach giraffe thank you tags for guests to take home.
