A great theme that spans genders and ages is a Safari party! There are so many fun things you can do - click here for some older (but still fresh!) frosting for Safari parties!

Animal cutouts make this display SO much fun! Not an artist? Buy an inexpensive projector (craft store + coupon!), print out a shape from the internet and project on cardboard or foam board, trace and cut out! Source

I LOVE when people use real plants in their parties! (especially if you already have them!). Keeping the colors neutral white, cream and brown and "leaf" green really makes this setup fantastic! The multiple layers are great too! Source

Make vines to change your living room into a jungle! Super simple and inexpensive way to really transform your space! Source and tutorial

Customize gable boxes with leaves and your child's initial! Source

For a fun dessert - wrap black ribbon around lollipop sticks insert into oreo cookies, dip in white candy melts... then for the fun! Use that icing you can get in a tube (here) and do zebra stripes! Source found via pizzazzerie
