Wow! You covered it all when it comes to a unicorn-themed party. There are tons of great ideas here. I’m excited to try boxx my party. That’s a great resource and very easy to use.
The food looks fantastic; I can’t wait to make some of those recipes. But I wish there was something more nutritious for kids’ birthdays, but maybe it should be more about limiting their overall sugar intake.
Thanks for all the great information, and I will be checking your blog for more great ideas for party planning.
So glad you enjoyed the unicorn themed party 🙂 Great idea bout including more nutritious meals for kids’ parties!
