Our Rosie turned four last month and we had a very special rainbow unicorn 4th birthday party. This theme was all Rosie’s idea and I was really excited to do it because there are so many cute rainbow unicorn ideas out there! Because she has a July birthday, we always get to do a fun pool party and the rainbow unicorn details really went well with that! See below for lots of photos from the party and I included all of the sources at the very bottom.
My favorite element was the rainbow balloon arch. Balloon arches are seriously such a low cost and big impact decoration. I found the kit at Target (only $12!) and just switched the order of the colors so that they were in rainbow order. Get an electric balloon pump and your life will be so much easier. I always use fishing line to attach the balloons together and to hang the arch up. I added this unicorn balloon to the display as well. Rosie picked out the floral unicorn crowns and I thought they were so sweet. I of course love when a rose makes itself into the party decorations!
I always like to do party favors for all the kids. Rosie went to a birthday party this Summer where they all got tubes like this and I thought that was such a good idea! I found these at Target (super cheap! and I wrote each kid’s name on it in permanent marker. It was helpful for the kids to know whose tube was whose, and also helpful for us to know who left theirs behind.
We had a temporary tattoo station setup (which is always a crowd favorite!) These were some of the most beautiful temporary tattoos I have seen (ha!) It’s hard to tell in the photo but they were super metallic and just really pretty. I think it works best to have a makeup sponge and water for doing tattoos. That’s just a hot tip from someone who had done a lot of them recently! They have ones at the dollar store.
I love a dessert table and my mom always makes the best sweets for the parties. This time around she did brownie bites with the rainbow icing, little unicorn chocolates, and then cake pops.
