Circus Birthday Invitations

Start your circus party off right with a colorful and fun invitation. Creations For You has a personalized circus birthday invitation that will get everyone's attention! Add a little gold star confetti to the envelope for an extra splash of color and sparkle!

Another great idea is to send tickets as invitations to your party! Choose from personalized ticket invitations in nine colors, or even photo ticket invitations that you customize with your photo and wording!

You can always make your own invitation. Stick with bright colors and bold fonts that scream circus! Add some fun wording:

Come one, Come all!
To the Greatest Show on Earth...
Alex's Three Ring Birthday Circus!

Join us under the Big Top on
Sunday, June 15th
at 2 o'clock

Don't clown around, RSVP to the ringmaster - 555-1234

Think of fun ways to dress the invite up. Why not slip it inside a popcorn bag? You can find them at many restaurant supply stores.

Circus Theme Decorations and Party Supplies

Start by welcoming everyone to your party with a circus banner hanging out front. Add bunches of bright latex balloons to each side of the banner. you can also line the drive or walkway with bunches of balloons, just anchor the bouquets with plastic stakes or balloon weights (beanie elephants make super cute balloon weights by the way). 

After your guests walk up the path of balloons, great them with an adult (also dressed as a clown) making the kids balloon animals. The clown can also hand out red clown noses and circus clown hats to everyone; an inexpensive touch that your guests will love! Have everyone leave a message for the guest of honor on a personalized circus themed sign in board.

Inside, another fun welcome is a lifesize clown cutout featuring the face of the birthday boy or girl with a speech bubble welcoming everyone to the show!

You can create a circus tent in your house use colorful nylon fabric hanging from the ceiling. Outside you can use a canopy with side walls. Dress it up with a homemade sign or circus banner and more balloons!

This is a circus, so remember the animals! Lion Mylar balloons mixed in with your bouquets will make everyone roar and howl with amusement! Use these circus wall decals around the party area too. Scatter lion and monkey beanies around the room.

• Corn Dogs and Hot Dogs
• Nachos
• Sub Sandwich
• French Fries
• Popcorn
• Cotton Candy
• Icees

A nice touch is to offer bottled water with personalized circus theme labels. If you have it in the budget you can rent popcorn, hot pretzel and cotton candy machines. But bags of store bought popcorn and cotton candy work fine as well! And remember to have a fun circus theme cake or cupcakes. 

A clown ball toss game stand-up is a fun game for all ages. Older kids can stand further back than the younger children to make it challenging.

Set up a pair of clown photo ops for your guests to snap souvenir pictures in. Have one of the adults snap the pictures early in the party and then print them out before everyone leaves. Let the kids take home their pictures in a simple plastic frame that you have decorated with permanent marker to read "I clowned around at Alex's Birthday Circus".

Rubber duckies can be set in a kiddie pool. Have the children pick a duck, and the number on the bottom of the duck corresponds with a small prize!

Enlist a few adults to be your circus performers. Take volunteers for a ringmaster, clowns, jugglers, lion tamers (and lions), and the bearded lady. The adults will have as much fun as the kids! Set up a number of folding chairs under your tent and let the show begin!
