How to Plan a Safari Themed Kid Birthday - inAra By May Pham

How to Plan a Safari Themed Kid Birthday

My best friend and I were starting our kid birthday planner business in Sai Gon. Due to the fact that I was just visiting Sai Gon for one year, our business was more about fun and do what we love together rather than profits or any other long term plans. I learned so much cool things about kid birthday planning and would like to share with my readers in this post.

Our first birthday planning event was Brian’s Safari Themed Second Birthday Party and it was something to roar about! It was cool, colorful, and cute! Let’s move on to some of the DIY decoration ideas that are so easy and cheap to make and were such a big hit at the party! Because I love my readers, I will provide lots of tips in this post and they will help you plan a FIERCE party that your child will remember for years to come!

What to serve at a jungle party? Well, we had abundance of cookies, cakepops, and cupcakes all featured animal images, serving on wooden boards or fake grass palettes. Our giraffe cookies and Brian-initialed cookies were custom wrapped in animal-print fabric.
