3 Steps to Hosting a Jungle Backdrop Party 

There are lots of choices available for a party with a jungle theme. For a baby's first birthday party, you can use bright colors or cute animals in soft pastel shades. For a teen's sweet sixteen, opt for more elegant party decorations and designs.

You can use a jungle theme for a graduation party. This theme celebrates the transition into the "concrete jungle" with a luau.

Regardless of the type of jungle or safari backdrop party you decide to throw, here are some ideas for décor that features animals and delicious food that you may serve.

Go Wild With Decor

Animal prints rule when it comes to party colour schemes with a jungle theme. When designing the event area, incorporate animal motifs and hues such as orange, green, and brown. Party decorations for a jungle theme can have bright colors like magenta and red. These colors are similar to the colors of hibiscus and orchids.

Here are some fantastic jungle décor ideas for your next party.

• Balloon decorations: Without party balloons, no celebration is complete—especially a birthday party with a safari theme! Keep an eye out for balloons depicting tigers, elephants, monkeys, and other feral creatures. Animal print balloons or balloons with zebra stripes are other options. Arrange them throughout the gathering space, create a homemade balloon garland, and attach a few unique latex balloons to the birthday person's chair.
• Safari animal stickers: Get some animal stickers for your kids' jungle-themed party so they may use them to make cards or stick them on each other. Lions, crocodiles, zebras, and giraffes are all excellent options. Look for animal stickers with vivid colours or shiny, metallic motifs for an even more feral mood.
• Animal print tableware: Use animal-print tablecloths and animal-themed table decorations to create the atmosphere for a supper inspired by a jungle. Use paper plates, glasses, and napkins with a safari theme for an easy design element and fast cleanup. Think about using plates with the faces of wild animals for a small child's birthday celebration. Look for more sophisticated designs of jungle animals and patterns like monstera or palm palms for an adult safari party or older children.
• Confetti: Forget about cleaning up. Confetti somehow adds an extra layer of enjoyment to a celebration. Decorate the table with animal print confetti or distribute gift bags or favour bags filled with party poppers and confetti.
• Birthday banner or backdrop: If you're throwing a baby shower or birthday celebration in the jungle, use an animal-themed backdrop to highlight the honoured guest. Use wild animal wall stickers, hang an animal print on the wall, or create a balloon arch out of brown, orange, and green balloons. On Etsy and Amazon, you can even buy sizable safari wall stickers that the soon-to-be mother or birthday child can use in the bedroom or nursery.
• Photo Booth: With a photo booth, you can preserve memories of the day and relive the excitement of your jungle-themed party. 1. Choose a theme for your backdrop. Gather photo opportunities like animal cutouts, masks, safari hats, and glasses with animal prints. Set up the backdrop and arrange the photo props for a fun and memorable experience.
• Live animals: When organizing a safari zoo party, live animals are the ultimate VIPs—though this may sound extravagant. For big gatherings, some party-organizing businesses use exotic animals like camels, while others provide horseback riding. Even better, Dave's Jungle, which provides live animal and reptile shows, provides a virtual experience. Instead, you can bring the group to a wildlife education center or zoo to see and learn about animals up close.

Get Dressed Up in Costume

Consider asking guests to dress in their craziest outfits if you're throwing an animal-themed party. Dressing up is always a good suggestion, whether you're recommending wild prints or going all out with costumes. To make dressing up simple, you can also include animal party hats.

Adult and children's animal costumes are available, with fleece versions that are perfect for celebrations in colder climates. If you want something classier, request that attendees wear their prettiest animal designs. For more sophisticated safari backdrop parties, there are many options available, ranging from zebra high heels to blouses with leopard prints.

Khakis, linen pants, and bush jackets are the must-have items for safari outfits. They are perfect for those who want to embrace the carefree safari theme.

Fun and Filling Food Ideas

The cuisine you select needs to go with the concept of your jungle party. Delicate cupcakes with mint green frosting are a terrific option if you're throwing a fanciful safari baby shower. For a festive look, remember to add cupcake toppers with animal themes, like adorable blue elephants or pink lionesses.

To satisfy the hungry wild animals while they play with their friends, you can serve a larger supper if you're organizing a child's birthday celebration. Create a unique cheese and salami dish shaped like a lion's mane, or arrange a sub sandwich in a snake pattern on the table. Grab a bag of animal noodles and zoo pasta to make a more substantial supper.

Arrange bowls of peanuts, which you may refer to as elephant nibbles, and pretzels, which you can label as jungle logs, for convenient snacking. You can serve bananas in a bowl as treats for the monkeys, and gummy snakes go well with the jungle theme.

Remember to provide a location for guests to grab water. Serve jungle juice or cocktails to an adult gathering by combining ingredients like pineapple, lime juice, and rum. Serve lemonade or other nonalcoholic beverages in glasses with a jungle motif for children's parties.

Consider making a safari birthday cake if you're throwing a birthday celebration. You can either locate a basic cupcake recipe and top it with animal crackers as cupcake toppers, or you can order a sheet cake with different jungle animals on it. Place tiny animal miniatures on top of the cupcakes and coat them in non-toxic gold paint for a fancier cake topper.
