Safari Party SuppliesBut you are not limited to only those items that you can buy. Many people augment kits or supplies with ideas of their own. Basic Safari kits will come with invitations, thank you postcards, dinner plates, cups, forks, spoons, napkins and a tablecloth. They will also include balloons, curling ribbon, and crepe paper rolls. This kind of kit will cost about $25. And you can get add-ons for the kit, that include more invitations, thank you postcards, dinner plates, cups, forks, spoons and napkins, if your party will be for more kids than the original kit provides for. These add-ons are around $15. Beyond the basic kit, there are other options as well, which include more items and cost more. For example a deluxe kit will include everything in the basic kit, plus more balloons, crepe paper and other items. This kit will cost about $40. Larger kits, will include all the above plus party favors. These will cost around $75. But it doesn’t stop there. You can also get kits that include wall decorations, CDs, cardboard cutouts, games, necklaces and other “jewelry,” a personalized birthday banner, and so on. These can range from $150 to $300 in cost. But while these kits are available, you can also add your own touches. Adding your own touches is often a good way to ensure a special event turns into a special memory for everyone involved. The only limit to finding ways to include the shark theme in all aspects of the party is your own imagination. A good place to start is to include the kid in the planning of the party (unless it’s a surprise). Kids will often have great ideas – some practical and others not so much – but it will get them excited and thinking about how to make it a great event. Following a list of party considerations and ideas for integrating Safari themes into a party. Start with the list of invitees, which will help you determine your overall budget and thus how much you can allocate to buy the supplies that will have a connection to the shark theme. Once you have the list, it’s time to think about creating the invitations. Safari birthday party cards come ready made and are easy to find at gift stores, card shops or online. Because there are so many places where images of safaris appear, there is no shortage of ways to find and print these images. Whether you make your own invitation cards or buy some from the store, they will need to include certain details. These details should include the occasion of the party, the date, and time, and what if any instructions you wish to provide about gift giving. You will also want to provide RSVP information. Whatever choice you make for the card itself, the invitations should let kids know through what the party will be like and should start to get them excited about attending. You can think about having them come in costume as well. And you want to think about how to decorate the space where the party will be held. The kits can help here, but you can also do your own. Create your own jungle scenes. Hang photos of wild animals like lions and tigers and elephants and giraffes. Stuffed monkeys will also contribute the to the scene. As will pith helmets and other safari hunting gear. Next , you want to think about activities for the party that relate to the theme. Many safari theme games are available for sale. And you can turn old time games, like Simon Says, into Safari Chief Says. Or, think about Pin the Tail on the Gazelle instead of Pin the Tail on the Donkey. At the party itself, think about how to integrate the theme in to all the various parts of a typical party. Some of the things to think about are plates, cups, silverware, table cloths. All of these items can be purchased with safari related themes on them. Cakes can always be made to represent the theme as well. Your local cake maker can give you ideas, but safari cakes can be made for the party. Let your imagination be your guide. Make a lion cake, or sheet cake with a safari scene on it. Or borrow from The Lion King or other safari animated movies and make a caked based on this. After the food, think about having the kids watch a movie set in the safari, or an animated movie set in the jungle or on the African plains. Party favors can be anything from small wild stuffed animals to key chains or t shirts. Anything that can be carried home by the child and used as a memento of the party will work just fine. Safari animals are amongst the most exciting and interesting in the imagination of children, so it makes sense that kids will want to be surrounded by them during their most important party events. Fortunately, there is no shortage of ideas about how to do that, and there is no shortage of suppliers of safari themed products. And don’t forget that after the party is over and the guests have gone home, the fun can continue. The ritual of filling out the thank cards is an important one for kids. Pokemon thank you cards available as part of the kits or as separate items. Either way, keeping the theme alive in the cards is a good way to extend the fun as kids write their personalized thank you cards to the attendees for sharing the fun and for any gift they might have bought. |
