Wild One Birthday Theme: Plan an Event for Your Favorite Party Animal

Want to throw a fun birthday party for your child who loves howling at the moon and pretending to be a brave lion? This party theme is filled with wild animals like lions, giraffes, and monkeys, as well as partygoers. You can adapt it in many ways. Kids' parties and baby showers are indeed popular uses for it, but it might also be ideal for the irrational child in all of us who refuses to grow up.

This list will help you plan a fun birthday party for a child who loves adventure. It includes easy invites, creative menu ideas, and fun decorations. The goal is to ensure that everyone has a great time at the party.

How to Plan a Wild One Birthday Theme Party

These party planning ideas will enable you to execute your event flawlessly. These celebration ideas are perfect for commemorating the wild person in your life, no matter their age, or for a first birthday party. You can find everything you need for a safari-themed party, from decorations to food to games and favors for all ages.

Go Wild With Birthday Party Decorations

Decorate for the wild one's birthday to give guests the impression that they have entered a forest. You can buy most of them online or at a local party store. If you're creative, consider making your own with construction paper or poster board.

If you're hosting a party or event, decorate the space with safari or jungle animal cutouts. You can use different animals to match the theme, not just lions, zebras, monkeys, giraffes, and tigers. (Crocodiles or dinosaurs, maybe?)

Hang a banner to welcome guests or a high chair when they arrive. Make a balloon garland to hang over the dessert table or a balloon arch to cover the entryway. You can either purchase an already-made balloon garland or attempt to make your own.

You can use any colour scheme you want. Classic birthday balloons come in green, brown, yellow, and white, but gold balloons and other shiny colours can give the occasion a glamorous touch. Additionally, balloon décor filled with confetti and vibrant balloons shaped like animals are always a good choice.

Feed the Hungry Creatures

Naturally, you'll want to match your tableware to the theme of the wild one party. Choose paper plates and cups with safari animals, animal print napkins, and straws with leaves that evoke a jungle. A sizable tablecloth can simplify cleanup and help set the mood.

Look for a table covered with images of animals such as elephants, tigers, and lions. Generous monstera leaves serve as excellent focal points.

Provide food ideas with a jungle theme to satisfy the hungry animals. Cut up carrots and celery and arrange them around a dish of dip to resemble a roaring lion. As an alternative, place a bowl of peanuts out and label it "elephant food."

With this birthday party theme, animal crackers go perfectly. For something tastier, cut a giant sub sandwich into the shape of a snake.

Dessert is a must-have for any birthday celebration. Serve cupcakes with amusing cake toppers or a birthday cake to keep with the jungle theme. Alternatively, you may pipe frosting in the shape of leaves or a "wild one" sign on top of the cake.

Activities

Consider including a bear hunt with the traditional scavenger hunt. Give rewards to the winner or hide stuffed teddy bears or other wild creatures throughout the house or yard. You could also provide each searcher with equipment like binoculars and a compass to aid in their adventure.

A bounce house or inflatable pool will keep party animals occupied if the weather permits. Make sure the activities you select are suitable for the guests' age. Arrange a cake smash picture shoot for a first birthday party to document the adorable mess. Additionally, you may provide wagon rides, bubble-blowing, and crayon drawing stations.

Animal-shaped floaties or more complex scavenger hunts are excellent ways to keep older children occupied for extended periods. If the recipient of your birthday is an adult, think about hosting an adult pool party with themed activities.

Send the Jungle Crew Home With Party Favors

Party favours will help the party animals recall their wild day after a full day of festivities. Send them home.

Stuff goldfish and animal crackers into a paper bag. Additionally, you might provide a copy of "The Jungle Book" or any other children's book with safari animals to every visitor. Another fantastic party favour idea is caps, stickers, sunglasses, and sunglasses with animal prints.
