To set the stage for both refreshment table versions, bamboo fencing is used as a backdrop. We love the jungle feel it immediately establishes. To add interest, a caveman-themed banner in bright shades of orange and green is strung across the backdrop.

Tropical plants and foliage are displayed in color-coordinated pots. They add so much to the prehistoric jungle vibe. Wooden dinosaur models serve as perfect props. Guests love party favors so orange treat bags are neatly arranged atop the table. That sweet caveman shows up again on printable caveman tags.

Take 1: The dessert table. This version of the refreshment table is filled with tantalizing treats. A tiered stand boasts yummy-looking cupcakes. Mini stools elevate jars full of candy. Sugary green drinks are served in glass bottles, made party-ready with orange polka-dotted straws. White trays are lined up with amazing confections, ready for ravenous partygoers to chomp.

Take 2:  The healthy refreshment station. A few things are swapped out to give partygoers nutritious snack options. Muffins replace cupcakes on the tiered stand. Bright green buckets full of oranges take the place of the candy jars on the stools. Bottles of juice, dressed up in coordinating caveman labels, are swapped for the sugary beverages.

Dinosaur-shaped, mini sandwiches and trays of veggies and dip replace the more decadent desserts. We love seeing this party theme celebrated in two equally awesome ways. Which would you go for–healthy snacks or sweet treats? What a fabulously creative idea for celebrating a dinosaur-loving little girl or boy’s birthday. Prehistoric dinosaur parties rock!
