Many kids love unicorns, so this theme is sure to be a blast. As colorful as they may be, unicorn parties can be pretty easy to plan and decorate for.

Each child can feel magical with a unicorn hat or band. To help make the day even more vibrant, a shimmering rainbow curtain is the perfect backdrop for capturing photos of the special day. For parents with older children who like unicorns, stock up on pastel colors that tone down the brightness. 


2. The Circus 

Parents can bring the circus to their children for their birthday. Red and white decor is a must-have for a circus theme. The iconic red and white stripes should feature on all your supplies for this theme — from popcorn containers and napkins to a circus theme backdrop. 

What's a circus without some great entertainment options for the kids? Complete your collection with fun circus signs to direct partygoers to the games and entertainment. Even if they can't have real animals for their birthday, animal-themed foil balloons and an animal cake will complement the day.


3. A Day at the Spa

A spa birthday party is perfect for kids who love pampering and having fun with friends. The colors for a spa party set the right atmosphere — close your eyes and picture the ideal spa retreat. What colors stand out to you? Energetic bright pinks and blues or a refreshing ambiance with greens and white? Balloons to match the spa color theme are essential. 

Complete your spa supplies with candles, lanterns and floral arrangements to help parents create a relaxing atmosphere. Offer cozy robes and slippers that kids can wear for their manicures, facial treatments and massages. Guests can take home a themed favor box with personalized birthday favors like lip balm and nail polish. 


4. Superheroes

Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Avengers — the list of superheroes is nearly endless. Many kids have their favorite superhero and may even like to dress up like them. A birthday party is the perfect opportunity for kids to enjoy being a superhero for a day. Stock up on superhero capes, costumes and decorations to help parents plan an unforgettable day. 

Consider adding giant superhero air walkers to your inventory for parents to add to the festivities. Latex printed balloons like an array of blue and red Spiderman balloons are perfect for decorating a superhero bash. 


5. Dinosaurs

The great thing about a dinosaur theme is that there are various options. A cute, animated dinosaur setting will create a playful party for younger kids. Offer a cute dinosaur piñata for a fun activity. Older children may prefer more realistic, Jurassic World-inspired balloons and decorations. 

Stock up on various green and orange latex balloons and a balloon garland kit that parents can use to create a lively, jungle-inspired atmosphere.
