How to host a unicorn party on a budget
Are you looking to throw a unicorn party but concerned about the cost? Look no further! With a little creativity and planning, you can host the perfect celebration without breaking the bank. In this article, we'll provide you with budget-friendly tips for DIY invitations, decorations, unicorn-themed menu ideas and fun activities for an awesome unicorn party.
Make your own party decorations
Decorations can quickly become one of the most expensive parts of a party, but with a little creativity, you can save a lot of money. Before buying anything, consider making your own DIY decorations. This can include creating unicorn-themed garlands out of construction paper or printing out unicorn templates online and using them to create signs or table centerpieces. Not only will this save you money, but it allows you to customise the decorations to fit your specific party theme.
You could also print and cut out unicorn cupcake toppers, favour tags, and more. Simply attach them to ribbons or gift bags, and you have beautiful unicorn-themed décor for your party.
Remember, it's not necessary to go all out with decorations - a few well-placed items can go a long way in creating a magical atmosphere.

Create a homemade unicorn-themed menu
After you've saved money on decorations, the next step in hosting a unicorn party on a budget is planning a magical menu. Fortunately, creating a whimsical spread doesn't have to break the bank. One way to save money is by making everything from scratch. Cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts can easily be made at home, with simple decorations like edible glitter or unicorn horns made from fondant.
Another option is to focus on the colours associated with unicorns - pink, purple, and blue - and incorporate them into your food choices. You can create magical-looking drinks with pink lemonade, and serve colourful fruits like strawberries and blueberries. For a more substantial menu, consider serving sandwiches cut into unicorn shapes with cookie cutters, or adding a DIY salad bar with toppings like rainbow carrots, purple cabbage, and sliced watermelon.
Make fun party games within budget
After creating a budget-friendly menu, it's time to plan some exciting activities for your guests. One option is to set up a DIY unicorn headband station with materials like glitter, foam, and pipe cleaners. Party guests can create their own unique unicorn headbands to wear during the party and take home as a fun party favour.
Another activity within budget is to create a unicorn-themed art table, packed with printable colouring sheets with pictures of unicorns, rainbows, stars etc. and provide an array of colouring pens, pencils, crayons, and even extras such as unicorn-themed stickers and glitter!
