Our sweet friend, Nancy, of A to Zebra Celebrations styled this gorgeous and happy colorful carnival party for her daughter, Ashley.  We loved designing a new themed carnival invitation and printable set for the party that incorporated bright pink, yellow, green, red, orange, blue. This gorgeous Rainbow Carnival party is precious and happy in every way.

Nancy had us design a rainbow carnival invitation that was based on our popular vintage carnival printable invitation designs.

Some of our favorite elements are:
– The backdrop made out of ribbons
– The 3 section candy machine
– Toppers on the cookies

How adorable is this carousel rainbow cake below?  I love how they used all of the colors from the rainbow carnival printables and the ruffled bottom tier on the cake definitely helps make it even more girly!  You can find a similar carousel cake topper here.

The rainbow ribbon garland from A to Zebra Celebrations it so festive and pretty as a backdrop!

How perfect is this party setting? The simple balloons help add bright color above the table!

These pom pom centerpieces (Glue pom poms onto round styrofoam balls) give the rainbow carnival vibe and add such fun color and decor to the center of the table! Don’t they remind you of gumball machines!?

We love how Nancy used our printables to spruce up the water bottles on the table.  The striped party hats were perfectly color coordinated with our printables.  The patterned papers from our printable collection can also be used to make the party hats, too! I love how she added a clown nose to the tops of the party hats!

Layering various sized paper plates are a fun an inexpensive way to add a pop of color to the table, too!  The polka dot fabric runner also helps tie in the other colors from the party!

I love how Nancy gets into character for her parties… Precious costume!

Dress up simple iced animal cookies with printables or balloon decorations!

These cookie toppers are just perfect from 4 Kids Cakes!  I love how they tie in the theme and coordinate perfectly with the rainbow carnival printables.

Nancy set up a Candy Shop, which seems to be essential to a great Carnival Party!

The gumball machine makes a perfect centerpiece here to set the stage for the other cute mini gumball machines, blow pops, lollipops, gumballs, gummy bears, Charms, Giant Pixie Sticks and more!

Nancy dressed up the plate and utensil table with printables, too! We love how she mixed and matched bright colored pink, green, blue, orange and yellow paper cups, paper plates and utensils and added our 2″ Party logos to the cups to tie it all together.

She used striped straws with our party flags and they looked perfect for the carnival!  What a creative idea to put all of the party supplies sticking out of popcorn containers, too!

The party had a whole host of fabulous games for the kids to play and of course a prize table for the winners!  The carnival tickets make the carnival feel so much more authentic, too!

We love photo booths and this rainbow carnival photo booth is perfect!  The kids had so much fun with the photo booth props like the feather boas, jumbo glasses, clown noses, microphone prop, clown wig and more!

Nancy attached our printable favor tag to the party favors which included cotton candy bags, rainbow lollipops, a felt lollipop and a bracelet. So precious!

Thanks, Nancy, for sharing your adorable Rainbow Carnival Party! What a special and beautiful day!
