Plan a Circus Themed Birthday Party!

Roll up, roll up – the circus is in town!

A circus-themed birthday party is full of fun, colour and imagination, making it a perfect choice for kids (and the young at heart). With bold patterns, cheerful characters and nostalgic carnival touches, this theme creates a magical atmosphere from the moment guests arrive.

At Little Big Party Co, we’ve got everything you need to bring the big top to life at home. Here's your guide to planning a playful and stylish circus celebration, with all the party essentials from our Circus Party Collection.

Set the Scene with Bold Decorations

Start by creating a fun and festive backdrop. Think red and white stripes, carnival bunting and playful accents in blue, yellow and gold.

Our Circus Party Paper Fans and Circus Decorative Rosettes are perfect for creating that traditional circus feel – hang them on walls, behind the cake table, or from ceilings to give instant impact.

Add in Circus Garland Banners and Colourful Balloons to create depth, colour and movement throughout your space.

Don’t forget to check out our Circus Tent Cake Topper for a themed centrepiece that ties it all together.

Dress the Circus Party Table with Style

Your circus party table is the star of the show – make it count!

Use our Circus Plates, Napkins and Cups to bring the theme to life with playful patterns and coordinating colours.

From stripes to stars, everything in our collection is designed to mix and match beautifully.

Top it all off with fun extras like Circus Tent Popcorn Boxes and a Party Food Stand, perfect for little hands and party snacks.

Fun Filled Favours & Games

Keep guests entertained with carnival style games like ring toss, bean bag throws, or a DIY ‘hook-a-duck’.

Create your own prize stand and use our Circus Party Stickers and Tickets as small favours or sweet treats.

For party bags, include things like clown noses, animal stickers or mini bubble tubs to match the circus theme.

Add the Finishing Touches

Complete your party look with Circus Cake Decorations, such as our Cake Toppers and colourful candles.

If you're feeling creative, a DIY animal or big top cake will add an extra wow factor!

Add a few helium balloons – we love this bold jumping Lion Foil Balloon or Giant Round Balloons – and you’ve got a picture perfect party ready to impress.
