We celebrated Cadence’s fifth birthday, with a magical unicorn party! Shades of pink, pastels, and sparkly gold created a party fit for a princess and her favorite friends!
We kept it small, with a guest list consisting of three sets of sisters—six little girls was really the perfect number for a birthday party in our home.
I took over the girls’ play room for the party and decorated with framed unicorn art I found on Etsy, a cardboard unicorn standee as our treat table backdrop, and some simple pennant and star banners.
The treat table was set with macarons, white chocolate dipped pink wafer cookies, cupcakes, rice crispy treats, unicorn chow, pink lemonade and an outstanding unicorn cake from my local bakery.
The personalized tumblers from Shindigz were a huge hit! Twist-on lids that don’t leak, with straws—so awesome! The girls could carry around their pink lemonade without me worrying about spills. Hooray!
Guests arrived to a table set with our first activity—unicorn balloons!
Then we moved on to “Pin the Horn on the Unicorn”—always a winner with this age group!
The game was followed by a light lunch—ham and cream cheese sandwiches, pink yogurt, and fruit skewers.
Once lunch was finished, we ran a few balloon relay races. Everyone had to run around the kitchen with a balloon between their knees, and then sit on the balloon until it popped. So many giggles!
Then we sat down for unicorn cookie decorating!
We continued our sugar rush, with cake!
And finally, another craft—butterfly wands!
A magical afternoon was had by all!

Beautiful!! Can you tell me where you got the blue suitcase on the table and the white cake stands and plates?
Thank you Karen! The suitcase was from a little shop years ago. Two of the cake stands I made with IKEA plates and candle holders. The cake stand holding the cake was purchased at Macy’s a few years back. The unicorn party plates were purchased from Shindigz. Hope that helps!
Hi,

beautiful ; i am doing the same theme for my daughters party
What a beautiful decoration. Looking for ideas for my 5 to be in summer daughter’s party.
Where did you buy picture/frame of pin the horn game?
Hi there, I made the picture by copying the cardboard standee, which came from Shindigz. The frame is an IKEA RIBBA frame, 24″ x 36″. Any photo of a unicorn will work for this game. I got my wall of unicorn prints from Etsy, so try checking there for a similar unicorn print. Hope that helps!

Hey Heather! I have to know about the cake? Did you order it special? Did you make it?
Hi Nikki! I did not make this cake, but I think anyone with some basic piping skills could! The horn and ears are made out of fondant, and everything else is basic flour shapes made out of buttercream. This particular cake was special ordered from The Makery in Littleton.
So so pretty! My girls would LOVE this party!
Thank you so much Courtney!! I wish we lived closer so our girls could go to each others birthday parties 😀
