In addition, we have a great accessory in mind … and that is that in this carousel-themed party, you cannot forget to decorate with lots of colorful balloons.
One idea is to create several arrangements of small balloons combined with larger balloons to place around the carousel themed buffet table.
Be sure to use large balloons as well. You can choose them in different ways and form writing, for example, the name of the birthday boy or girl or the number of years they are celebrating.
For the more DIYers among you, you can even try making a homemade carousel horse.
Using the cardboard, copy the shape of a horse and color it white and pink. Then attach it to the center of a gold pole that you can build from old pipes or reinforced cardboard and you have the perfect decoration.
Another idea would be to create an entire carousel using only the balloons. In this case, helium balloons would be perfect! Of course, don’t forget to decorate the place with pastel and childlike tones, even for the balloons you choose.
The Table
