his party is proof that you can create a stylish party in a short amount of time with the help of some printable party decorations and items from your local grocery stores and bakeries.
The vintage circus theme radiated through the dessert table with a variety of fun patterns and colors. One of my favorite parts of this party turned out to be the chevron backdrop made with wrapping paper.

Take a fun twist on the classic circus party theme with this awesome monster circus party. Each treat featured on our fantastic monster circus dessert table was inspired by a different circus act.
You will find stilt walking marshmallow pops, strongmen barbell cake pops, and a high wire act strung up across the cake.

Circus meets chic in this fabulous circus party filled with old fashioned machinery and some serious vintage vibes. Melissa’s son loved the Bozo the Clown book, so the party was inspired by different elements of the story. Sweet treats on the dessert table included a clown harlequin cake, clown cakepops, star cookies, and circus popcorn. I am also loving the creative clown nose cookie pops that guests took home as party favors.

Each and every inch of this carnival party was filled with creative homemade decorations and party touches. After being greeted by a wonderful welcome sign directing traffic, party guests made their way to the colorful space decorated with red and white polka dotted table clothes and pennant banners. I especially love the fun table centerpieces made out of tickets, peanuts, cracker jack boxes, and carnival character toys.
