It’s been a solid 2 years now that my daughter has been obsessed with unicorns. Not even surprised when I asked her what kind of birthday party she wanted, and unicorn was the answer. I wanted to create a low-cost magical day for her, so I needed to come up with unicorn birthday party ideas quick. Luckily, Amazon has lightning-fast shipping because…I am a bit of a procrastinator. (Whaaat? Did I just admit?) If you’re on the hunt for unicorn birthday party ideas for your kiddo, I’ve got you covered.

Unicorn Birthday Party Ideas

Invitation

My daughter guided me through making this birthday party invitation (rainbow and all), so rest assured that kids will love it! Print these, write in the info, and mail them out or deliver them. (Here are some darling unicorn envelopes.)  -OR- You can Photoshop them with the correct information added and text/email them out. There is no right way to do it, just whatever fits your style and timeline!

Food Table

When you’re thinking of unicorn birthday party ideas, remember that the details help create that magical party that your child will love! A unicorn cake topper or unicorn cupcake cup and topper is an easy way to make a big statement! My daughter also got this darling package of plates, napkins, straws, and tablecloth. I especially loved those because it make the party cleanup afterward SO quick and easy!

Party Decorations

Another way to play off the unicorn theme is to have fun with the party decor! This cute and highly-rated unicorn banner is an inexpensive way to create an on-point focal piece. I doubled some party decor with an activity by using unicorn balloons from this shiny unicorn balloon and hanging foil swirl pack. I think playing off the pink and gold theme could be really fun too with this party supply pack including paper lanterns and pom poms!

Pinata

This was a life saver! With 14 toddlers at this birthday party, I needed an activity that would help entertain them for a while. Our pinata lasted for 30 minutes and the kiddos never got tired of stepping up to bat. And after all the fun of whacking, candy showered everywhere AKA a toddler’s dream! The giggles were contagious! You could either get a pack of these best-selling mini unicorn pinatas or a regular-sized handmade unicorn pinata!

Photo Booth

We did not do a photo booth at my daughter’s party, but I am having serious regrets about that. It would have been a fun and interactive way for your child to play with their best friends all while capturing those priceless memories on camera! There are several different unicorn photography backdrops and sizes you can choose from here. (Note to self: your photography backdrop can double as a food table or gift table backdrop!) And adding some darling unicorn photo booth props will keep the kids laughing and entertained.

Party Favors

My daughter picked this pack of unicorn headbands to hand out to all her friends all with pink star bubble necklaces like this one here. You can also pass out these darling unicorn poop candies! Who couldn’t get a laugh out of that?! These unicorn stamps could easily be placed in these unicorn party favor bags for people to grab on their way out the door.

Birthday Girl Outfit

When your toddler is as into unicorns and fairies as mine is, it’s important for them to feel like the princess of the party! My daughter picked out this gorgeous mint and gold dress which she paired with this pink floral crown headband. And yes, she literally sat on my lap while I scrolled Amazon and picked them out herself. Not too shabby, right?! If your daughter is more casual, this soft unicorn dress is highly-rated!

I hope these unicorn birthday party ideas help get your creative juices flowing and that your child’s birthday is as magical as unicorns themselves! <3

Pin it for later!
