This Party Calls For A Theme: It’s All Rainbows and Unicorns

When thinking about what to write about for this month’s Collectively Creative — The Lucky Edition, my mind immediately started to think of rainbows and unicorns.  Both are quite lucky.  And what could be more fun than having a rainbow and unicorn themed party?  Having this party as an adult!  What I’m about to share is not focused on having a kids theme party with these elements.  Adults need whimsy and fun just as much as kids do!  Regardless of age, we all deserve a little luck that can be brought by a party surrounded by rainbows and unicorns!

As you’ll notice, there are some festive ways to decorate with a rainbow theme without going too junior.  The idea is to take one or two elements and use in a couple select areas to give a colorful but classic feel.

I love this floral arrangement with the head of lettuce.  Flowers are a wonderful way to bring “pops of rainbow color” to your event.

Invitations can be as simple as using different colored paper.  Bunches and Bits takes things a step further with these creative invitations made from paint chips!

Creating a rainbow theme can easily be achieved utilizing the foods served as well.  This is a perfect party to break out the fresh veggies and fruits!

Creating a rainbow with fruit is not only festive but very tasty!

And after all the healthy salad and fruit, your guests will certainly deserve one of these desserts:

Encourage your guests to wear their favorite color.  And if your guests are in the spirit and want to get their ‘unicorn’ on, offer them one of these party hats:
