There are quite a few choices if you want to have a party with an animal theme. A safari or jungle theme are creative and fun (guests can dress in khakis and/or wear safari hats). An animal theme party is not only fun and exciting for kids; adults will also enjoy this amusing experience. Who wouldn't love to be transported into a world of nature most people don't get to come close to?

Play a CD of jungle sounds by the party's main entrance. Use green streamers to decorate or use large cardboard cut outs of different animals displayed around the room. The favors for the party need to be considered carefully. The best favors for adults are items that they can use on an everyday basis; think about handing out personalized pens or candles.

If you would like to have a party theme set around animals, also try a circus or Noah's ark themed party. (These themes are better for a younger child's party) Guests can be offered a range of props in order to imitate their choice of circus character. Rent popcorn or cotton candy machines, hire a clown and serve candy apples. A Noah's ark theme is also perfect if you're throwing a party for twins. Use different colored balloons to create a big rainbow balloon arch. Stuffed animal toys displayed in pairs around the room or in the center of each table would create an atmosphere perfect for anyone looking to get in out of the rain.

With whatever animal theme you choose, your party is sure to be special and memorable with each creative or unique personal touch that you put into it.
