While you’re checking those out, be on the lookout for some of the fabulous Peerspace listings we’ve sprinkled in for tips on where to host your celebration. As the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, Peerspace makes it easy to discover and book unique spaces that bring your personal events to life fabulously. And that includes themed kid’s parties, as you’re about to see. Let’s get to it!

1. Pretty invites go a long way

Sending out the right invites can make a themed party even better by preparing your guests on what to expect. You’ll want to ensure your unicorn party has the right invites so everybody is on the same page.

We love these editable unicorn birthday invites from DigitalPixelPH on Etsy that come with a matching thank you tag. You can print the invites and send them out, or simply edit and email them if you don’t have a printer or want to save paper.

2. Serve up a rainbow treat

Unicorns are synonymous with all things sweet and beautiful, so you’ll want to make sure your party treats demonstrate that. One great idea we’ve found is these adorable sugar cone unicorn horns from Hostess with the Mostess! Your guests won’t know whether they want to gobble these down immediately or run around holding them up and pretending they’re unicorns.

4. Get everybody involved with a unicorn crafting project

Your party should involve some structured activities. Including some unicorn crafting projects gives everyone a fun, personal item to take home and remember the event by. We suggest this rainbow unicorn crafting kit where yarn is used to create the beautiful mane. Adults may need to help with the tying, but we’re sure this will keep everybody engaged.

And if you need a kid-perfect setting for your arts and crafts project, then check out this bright and colorful maker art studio. It’s a San Francisco, CA venue complete with furniture and tools that you can use during your rental.

5. Play pin the horn on the unicorn for a fresh spin on a classic party game

Pin the Tail on the Donkey is a classic birthday game so let’s update it for a unicorn party. This fun pin the horn on the unicorn game from Amazon is a fun alternative that can be set up nearly anywhere. And unlike a donkey, your child will love to see this on their wall long after their birthday party is over!

6. Host your party in a rainbow-themed room

One thing you’ll need for any of these unicorn birthday party ideas is a venue that can match the theme. That’s where Peerspace has you covered.

You have access to great rainbow rooms all over the country like this rainbow vault gathering space in Lakewood, CO. This spacious home is perfect for your whole party and gives space for dancing, crafts, and cake.

Check out this rave review from a Peerspace user who booked their own party in this rainbow-filled home: “The most magical space I have ever been in! Words can’t even begin to describe the beauty and awe of this place. I immediately felt held in a way I can’t describe, like being in a sparkly cosmic womb. Every where you look there is magic, every object has been meticulously curated to fit the theme, and it’s done in a very elegant and sophisticated manner. Bailey [the host] was really easy and wonderful to work with.”

7. Pose with a giant balloon unicorn

If you don’t want an actual horse at your party, then a balloon may be your best alternative. We can’t get enough of this 46–inch tall unicorn jumbo foil balloon from WStudioBoutique on Etsy. The best part is, it will stay inflated long after the party is done so your child can enjoy it for more than just a few hours.

8. Find the fastest unicorn with a fun inflatable race

Looking for unicorn birthday party ideas that’ll showcase the speed of the magical creature? Then these cute inflatable ride-on “hop n’ go” unicorns from HearthSong would make for a fun activity at your child’s party. Don’t forget a fun unicorn-themed prize for the winner!

9. String up unicorn garland for added pizzaz

Garlands are a birthday decoration staple. Instead of getting the classic “happy birthday” one, take another opportunity to put some unicorns up. There are really cute options out there, like this rainbow and unicorn garland from Pretty Felting on Etsy. You can also light up the room with these 10 unicorn LED string night lights.

Adorable decor like this needs the perfect event venue to make it extra memorable. One of our favorite suggestions is this bright clean event space with high ceilings in Dundalk, MD. It’s a 1,500-square-foot all-white studio that provides you with tables, chairs, a kitchenette, a Bluetooth speaker, a bar for setting up food and gifts, two smart TVs, and more. Imagine how cute it would look when you add your unicorn decor!

“The event space was great,” confirms a Peerspace reviewer. “It was clean and better than expected when I visited in person. I had a great experience and Willis, the host, was very gracious, helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this space and will be a return customer for any future events.”

10. Go on an adventure and plan a unicorn scavenger hunt

Kids can’t get enough of scavenger hunts. For a fun activity that will get everybody engaged this free printable unicorn treasure hunt game from Growing Play is a great option. You can put out fun party favors for guests to take home if they find them, or just have a blast feeling they’re on a unicorn adventure!
