Under The Big Top Carnival Birthday

Who doesn't want to go to the carnival? This festive party is a theme that never gets old - for both kids and adults alike. Brittany Harmon created this darling shindig for her sons first birthday. The carnival has an under-the-big top feel with lots of carnival-like games.
Brittany's fun ideas:

Welcome sign at the front door resembles a carnival ticket. The numbers on the side of the ticket is her sons birth date.

Carnival and circus decor.

All the yummy food you could get at the carnival. Hot dogs, peanuts, cottong candy, pickles, drinks, etc...

Cotton Candy labels with the birthday boys photo!


carnival youth elixirFun idea... Brittany's mom made a special label for the youth tonic elixir (water bottles).


Birthday carnival peanuts packaged with a personalized label.


First birthday cake to smash and eat.


Birthday cake placed on a beverage tub upside down. Triangles were painted to give it the big top feel.

Can't forget the kissing booth!


Gold fish favors with a label of the birthday boy - clever and inexpensive!!


Lollipops with adorable labels made as a thank you for coming to the carnival. Brittany has provided a couple of labels for our readers to download. If you are familiar with a photo editing program, place your photo in the middle of the label and print. If not, print out the labels and glue your photo in the middle of the label.

This is what the label looks like without the photo in the middle.

Thank you to Brittany for sharing her sons wonderful Carnival First Birthday. I'm so loving the free downloads - thanks again Brittany!!
