Know a rainbow or unicorn obsessed kid?  It seems every little girl goes though a unicorn loving stage and who doesn’t love a good rainbow?  So I wanted to share some fun party ideas to incorporate the theme throughout your event.  On Instagram, I had detailed how I used dollar store items to create an affordable, custom-look with a little DIY.  So check that out if you haven’t already.  And see below for some inspirational images and let me know what your favorite parts of the party were.  All party partners are linked below so if you’re in the SoCal area, you’ll want to make sure to follow and bookmark these amazing vendors.  They were truly spectacular in service and a great addition to ensuring memories were made.

RENTALS

To fully transform our backyard into a venue, it was important to add in some themed rental pieces.  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeRenting these pieces really takes the ordinary into the extraordinary and helps transport you into a different scene!  Luckily, we were able to partner with Isabella’s Special Occasions.  They are based in San Diego and had such a cute collection of party rental backdrops, props and figurines like the rainbow and unicorns you see here.unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party theme

Additionally, they will custom paint these items to match your party colors which was an incredible offering and something that really elevated the party and made exploring the space full of surprises!

Entertainment at the party came in 3 forms.  Besides the pretend tea party sets, fidget toys and Jenga that were scattered in stations throughout the backyard, guests could bounce around with plush unicorns in Sky High Jumper’s beautiful white bouncy castle.  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeunicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeIsn’t this such a sight?  The modern take on the usual, eye sore of a kids’ bouncy house was much appreciated and such a fresh take on kiddie entertainment!  The team was so wonderful in answering my many questions about install and safety issues.  And they arrived promptly on time to handle the setup as promised, making sure to disinfect everything too.  They were very professional, reliable and priced at the most competitive prices around town being a new start up business.  I’d highly recommend them to anyone in the LA area!!  The bouncy house will wow all of your guests, most of whom have never seen an all white one like this before.  You won’t regret it.  It’s simply SUCH a fun focal point at the party.

We dressed it up with rainbow colored balloons as another way to carry the party theme through.  I have no idea how this was attached and created so quickly, but with the professional help of Tara from South Bay Balloon Bar, that was one worry, I could take off my already full plate.  I am so glad I decided to offload this task (cuz yes, I did consider trying to blow up all these balloons myself and then learning how to create and attach the garland).  But I’ve learned from past trial and error that sometimes these things are best left to the professionals!!

Inside, you’ll see that Rainbowcorn plushies, (which were sent to us from Zuru toys) greeted the happy guests. What a perfect tie-in to a rainbow unicorn themed party huh? unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeThey were playfully thrown around inside the bouncy house and really added to the atmosphere and theme. My daughter loves these!  Check this link because some of them are scented, some of them parrot what you say and they all come in the most adorable packaging you’ve ever seen.  It makes for a great gift!

Entertainment also came in the form of painting unicorns and all things rainbow.  Thanks to our party partner, My Signature Timber, we had custom paint kits for all the little party people.  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeMy daughter chose all her favorite wooden cutout designs from their vast selection (which included fun shapes like unicorn heads, rainbows and all her favorite desserts).  And then we showed them our party colors and they packed our shipment with all the coordinating paints, brushes and paint dishes that we would need.  It was amazing!  So convenient and SO cute.  Everything was delivered straight to my door and the painted crafts made for excellent favors! Each girl took home their paint kit and finished product. What a fun favor, right?  My Signature Timber also makes cute wooden signs which you can see on their Instagram page here.

We also entertained the girls with a live unicorn who surprised all the guests at the end of the party with its presence.  Its mane was rainbow colored and it too came with its own paint set (all non-toxic, and easily washable of course).  And the girls couldn’t believe their eyes (or luck).  Cuz who in this world gets to play with a unicorn AND paint it- right??! unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeAfterwards, the birthday girl got to ride the unicorn around the cul de sac and leave all the neighbors wondering whether they were hallucinating when spotting this wildly painted unicorn outside their window. unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeunicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeunicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party theme

The 2nd (back-to-back) party we hosted had another rainbow themed activity to entertain the guests.  Yes, I hosted 2 birthday parties in one day cuz of covid and wanting to keep the groups extra small..  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeBijou Indochine, sent us these super cute jewelry making kits which were so perfect for these creative cuties aged 7-10.  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeEach set came with such an extraordinary set of colorful beads and all the tools and materials needed to make customized bracelets and necklaces.  This really got their creative juices flowing and allowed for the birthday girl to not have to repeat the prior paint project from her earlier party.  Bijou Indochine has such pretty jewelry to purchase for adults too.  (This was a side offering they pivoted towards during the pandemic).  So check out their website for these party sets as well as more sophisticated designs and jewelry making kits for adults too!

7 Of The Best NYC Rainbow Street Art Spots of 2020

If you know me, you know I love street art! The splash of unexpected color on city streets brightens my day and I love spotting unique art all around the city.  I summarized heart art in my blog post here on where to get your Valentine’s themed street art pics.  And with June being pride month, I thought I’d share some of my favorite NYC rainbow and love street art around Manhattan!  I’ve made sure to only include spots that I’ve visited recently so that you can be assured the art is both actually there and not ruined by the protesters grafitti-ing our beloved streets.

Juliet and I love spotting rainbows!!  And we thought you’d enjoy chasing rainbows too!  It makes for a fun lockdown summer activity to explore the streets of NY while on the hunt for cool street art. Enjoy and let me know what your favorites are!

Midtown:

1). Louis Vuitton at 57th st. and 5th Ave

2).  Flagship store 609 5th Ave.

Chinatown:

3.   I Choose Love by Hektad at 121 Mott Street at Hester Street

4.  Be Mine by Jason Naylor 149 Hester (and Bowery)

Lower East Side/ East Village:

5.  Juicy Lucy Juice at 85 Avenue A

6.  99 Suffolk St. Hearts

 

Union Square:

7. Look up Jason Naylor nyc for more incredible rainbow colored art like Live Life Colorfully by Jason Naylor at 6th Ave and 16th st. (I’m just not sure what hasn’t been ruined during the protests and am only including art I’ve visited this past week).  Here is his collab with Coach in Soho.

If you are looking for more heart rainbow art – check out JGoldCrown.  I didn’t add his various heart mural walls here because I haven’t been there since the protests.  And I’m not sure what is still in good condition around the city…

But you can click through my prior Valentine’s themed post which summarizes all the best heart art around the city as a starting point for more nyc rainbow street art!!

 

I’d love to hear what your favorites were from this list and have you share additional finds from your adventures around the city! Please leave a comment below and make sure to follow me on instagram for daily inspo and fab finds!
