While planning the carnival party and blogging about it, I have come across lots of really great ideas. Some I used and some I wasn’t able to incorporate. I wanted to put together some inspiration in case you were thinking of throwing a Carnival or Circus party too.
Here is an awesome file for a Ferris Wheel. It comes in lots of different formats, SVG, GSD, etc. I really wanted to work it into the party, but couldn’t really come up with a good way. Maybe a wall decoration, or perhaps you could come up with a game. The same website has a great Circus Tent too!
I have linked to Lil Luna’s Carnival Party before, but I really loved her party hats. I even bought the Charlie Bug Party Hat pattern from Blue Cricket Design to try making the hats myself.

If you brave enough to make your own cake, Coolest Birthday Cakes has a big gallery of user created cakes. Here is a cute example of a carousel cake.
Birthday In a Box has some great ideas for invitations, food, and activities.
I have saved my favorite idea for last. A few days ago I saw this awesome cupcake sleeves called Roundabouts. Check these beauties out!
You start with a regular cupcake, wrap the sleeve around, and then decorate the top. I love that gumball machine SO much. I have some great news too, Roundabouts has agreed to giveaway a set of cupcake sleeves. Stay tuned for all the giveaway details tomorrow. I can’t wait!

THANK YOU for putting all of this stuff together like this. I really think I’m going to steal this theme for my twins’ 3 yr party this fall now that I’ve seen how cute it can be. 🙂
I love it all! We are in the midst of planning my soon to be 5 year old’s carnival party! Your resources are so helpful–how fun!
