Sadie’s Unicorn Birthday Party

We had an epic unicorn birthday party for a certain soon to be 4 year old! Sadie was very adamant that she have a pink unicorn party, with a cake that had a unicorn on top and was pink on the outside and pink on the inside, and that all her bestest little friends attend. And she got her wish!

Sadie was so dang excited to get her party started!

My mom made the cutest balloon garland to hang above our window! Sadie was obsessed with it! I’ll do a tutorial soon, but to make it you need this balloon pump and this balloon strip.

Happy Birthday banner and all paper plates, cups, silverware, pink and gold tassel banner, and gold confetti balloons by Banner & Bow. Use code “Banner&Bow10” fro 10% off your order!

For food I kept it simple: puppy chow snack mix, fruit trifle, rainbow fruit and veggies, cheese & crackers, and veggie straws.

Sadie’s customers unicorn cake topper was beyond adorable! It was made by the amazing Arrow Town Designs and Sadie was so thrilled with how cute it turned out!

We served pink lemonade of course! I also ordered each girl her own personalized mason jar cup and they were a big hit!

Sadie wanted to decorate unicorn headbands, so I found these for the girls and they were SO cute! They came with small green and purple flowers on them, but I wanted them plain, so I just gently pulled them off. I kept the flowers so the girls could use them if they wished and I also picked up this pack of small felt flowers too!

And look how cute they turned out!!!!

We also played pin the horn on the unicorn, and built our own unicorns out of stickers. (these were SO cute and such a big hit with the girls!)

Sadie declared it the best day ever!

    I was fascinated with unicorns as a child. I would’ve been thrilled to celebrate with this theme. I especially love the balloons.

    OMG! What a GOR.GEOUS. SET UP!!!! What a lovely way to celebrate your little lady! She’s soooo cute too, and I love her outfit :). My daughter kind of skipped the whole unicorn phase surprisingly, so I’m hoping my son who’s a rainbow baby will take to Unicorns. And I will absolutely be coming here for some ideas! Well done, mama!!!
