Zoo/Safari Party Ideas and Inspiration

Ok, gonna take a break from Winter! It's way too warm out! So since we got our quarterly zoo magazine today (yes, we are zoo members!)... I thought why not a zoo theme?

Don't forget about older, but still fresh!, Frosting for a zoo/safari theme here (link)

A fun way to approach the theme would be to use black silhouettes of the animals and pops of color in the rest of your decorations.  Source

 It would be fun to setup little animal "stations" with inexpensive zoo animals and either real or fake grass (depending on your ambition and time ;o)  Source

For the favor bags, use animal print ribbons and animal cutouts to decorate simple brown bags! Source

For desserts, orange chocolate covered marshmallows become "tiger tails"! Source and tutorial
