2. Decorations:

Transform your party space into a colorful circus wonderland. Use red and white striped tablecloths, balloons, and banners reminiscent of a circus tent. Hang posters of circus acts and classic circus characters around the venue. Incorporate colorful streamers and fairy lights for added charm.

3. Games and Activities:

Plan a variety of circus-themed games and activities to keep your guests entertained. Some ideas include:

  • Every party needs an inflatable. 
  • Face painting: Set up a station for face painting with clown designs, animals, or other circus-inspired characters. Remember, no face paint in rented inflatables!
  • Ring toss: Create a ring toss game with bottles or other objects as targets.
  • Balloon darts: Inflate balloons and hang them on a board for guests to try and pop with darts.
  • Circus performances: If possible, hire performers like jugglers, magicians, or acrobats to entertain the guests.
  • Photo booth: Set up a photo booth with circus-themed props and backdrops for fun photo opportunities.
