Unicorn birthday parties seem to be all the rage right now. Just hop on to Pinterest and you can find unicorn ideas galore! We did a unicorn birthday party for our daughter recently and it turned out to be so much fun! There is no need for anything super expensive either. This is party planning on a budget for sure!

Planning Your Magical Unicorn Birthday Party
Unicorn Headbands
You can’t have a unicorn birthday party without unicorn horns! Now, I would not consider myself a “crafty mom” but I was able to make these super simple unicorn headbands with ease. Not only did they turn out super adorable, but they were super inexpensive!
Ribbon Wands
To go along with the headbands, I decided to make some magic wands. These were even easier than the headbands! They came out adorable, and the kids loved them.
Pinata
No unicorn birthday party is complete without a unicorn pinata
Cupcakes
The unicorn cupcakes were so much fun to make. They also ended up being a big hit with both the kids and the adults. They were super easy to make as well.
Cake
I am not a talented cake decorator, so I took a picture to our local Publix and had them make the cake for us. Since we had the cupcakes, we only wanted a small round cake. I was super impressed with what they did! My daughter kept saying that the unicorn looked “just like Onchao” (her favorite unicorn from the show Mia and Me on Netflix).
TableScape
We wanted to do a cute table set up for the party. Luckily, we were able to find most of what we needed at the Dollar Tree! We loaded up on confetti, table cloths, and a gold table skirt
I spread the unicorn horns out on the table, along with the wands so that the kids could take one as they pleased. We also did a second table which housed the giant container of pink lemonade accompanied by these adorable unicorn straws that we found at Target. The straws did not fit well into my mason jar, so I stuffed it full with tulle and it worked like a charm!
Lastly, we put out our cake! We have a really fun tiered cake stand that my father in law had made us for our wedding. This cake stand gets used for every single party we have. You can find really great cake stands on Amazon as well that are rather inexpensive.
Unicorn Birthday Success
Needless to say, our unicorn birthday party was a success! Kids were running around with horns and magic wands, and eating cupcakes that stained their faces blue! I had so much fun planning this party, but there is nothing better than the look of pure joy and excitement on your child’s face because she got exactly the awesome and magical party that she deserves.
Super cute! I always admire moms who can throw an awesome theme party. What a great memory for a kid.
Thank you. It was fun to do, a little stressful too though. It was my first theme party for her so I didn’t know what to expect
That is such a fun party theme for little girls. I betcha that my niece would absolutely love this.
I just adore everything about this themed party! Unicorns are so trendy now (and cute) and I love the way you did the cupcakes, headbands and have a fab pinata! I wish I was invited to this event!
Such a cute idea for a birthday party theme!!! You have some really great unicorn 🦄 ideas.
Thank you 🙂
Fingers crossed I can talk my daughter into this theme for her birthday! Such cute ideas! I would have never thought of this!
I love fun creative birthday parties! I feel like I haven’t been able to step up to the plate with my boys. I’ll need to do something big in February!
This was the first year I did a party like this for my daughter lol
What a fun birthday party idea. I love how it all turned out and the cake is darling.
Thank you 🙂 Publix does amazing cakes.
This is such a cute party idea, and I love all the details that you’ve added. Everything turned out so great!
Thank you 🙂 this was the first year I did a themed party for her, so I wasn’t sure how it would turn out
I am really digging the unicorn theme and who dosen’t want to pretend that they are a magical unicorn? Hee hee. Love the sound of the cake too x
For real! I think the adults love it just as much as the kids
Everything looked amazing! I love all the decorations and the setup! You did an awesome job with all of these!

I think it’s awesome that you were able to DIY so much of this party – your daughter will remember that for years to come. It all turned out so cute too, especially the cupcakes!
I love the theme and everything turned out so cute. Love the cupcake idea!
You did an amazing job with the party. We just celebrated my 5 year old’s birthday and I made a confetti cake for it. It was fun.
I am going to file this away as I have a unicorn obsessed daughter. You did a great job mama!
These are really impressive ideas. I have a niece birthday day this Sunday and this will definitely make me the best uncle ever. It also looks affordable and easy to do. Thanks for sharing
This Unicorn party turned out so cute! I love the headbands so much, a gift that can be used for months to come rather than purchasing all the little toys that get thrown out. Loved the cake!

There is something special about unicorns for young girls. This is an adorable party for young kids and you did a great job.
This looks like one super fun party. The food looks amazing. Good job!!
Those unicorn cupcakes look awesome. I am sure my daughter would love that. Although this year she wants a Harry Potter party as she is turning 11. So that is fraught with it’s own difficulties.
Oh man I want a harry potter party for me!
I absolutely LOVE the unicorn cupcakes! I think I might have to make them for my niece on her next bday! She loves all things cute and adorable! (She’s 4) lol
Hope this theme party will be best surprise for the kid. And the kind of organizing is really good.
Such cute ideas! They are very unique as well. I will share them with my sister as her daughter is turning one next month.
My niece would adore having an unicorn party. i should do something like this for her birthday in June. You done a fantastic job. xx

This is so much fun! My daughter is also very much in love with unicorns and it would be nice to go with this theme for her birthday! I love everything!
Wow. This is so amazing!Thanks for sharing. I love organizing my baby’s party too.
That looks like so much fun. My grand daughter loves unicorns, I’ll have to have a unicorn birthday party for her.
Ok so first of all, can we take a moment and talk about how adorable these unicorn cupcakes look?! I’m totally craving cupcakes and a cute headband now.
