- 6-foot folding table
- 10-foot adjustable backdrop stand
- 90 x 132-inch sequin tablecloth

- Green sequin tablecloth

- Wooden crates
- Irridescent shred
- Faux pink flowers
💡 Tip: Add height and dimension to your table by displaying unicorns in crates, boxes or risers of varying heights, so each one feels extra special.
Adopt Your Unicorn
This is the heart of the party, where kids meet, name, and officially adopt their very own unicorn!
What You’ll Need:
- Plush unicorns
- Unicorn adoption certificates
- Pens or markers
💡 Tip: Place a “What’s Your Unicorn Name?” sign next to your adoption station to inspire kids and help them come up with the perfect name for their new friend.
Unicorn Adoption Certificates:
Adoption certificates are a must for making the experience feel official! Create your own, or check out Inspired Party Design for ready-made templates.
💡 Tip: Dollar stores and party shops often carry generic adoption certificates if you need a quick and easy option.
Step-by-Step Unicorn Adoption Activity
Step 1: Meet the Unicorns
Display your unicorns on crates, boxes, or risers so they’re easy to see and ready for adoption.
Step 2: Choose Your Unicorn
Let kids wander the adoption station and choose the unicorn that feels just right. They always know which one belongs with them.
Step 3: Name Your Unicorn
Provide a “Find Your Unicorn Name” sign using first letters, favourite colours, or birth months — or let kids invent their own magical names.
Step 4: Make the Adoption Official
Hand out adoption certificates for kids to fill in with their unicorn’s name, their own name, and a promise to care for their new magical friend.
💡 Tip: Turn your unicorns’ home into a mini stable! Add iridescent shredded straw and a tiny fence for a whimsical, picture-perfect display.
Whimsical Unicorn Games
Keep the magic going with unicorn-themed games kids will love!
- Pass the Rainbow: Sit in a circle and pass a plush rainbow while music plays. When the music stops, the player holding it is out. The last player remaining wins a prize!
- Unicorn Treasure Hunt: Hide unicorn-themed clues around the party space, each leading to the next, until kids find the final treasure chest filled with sparkly surprises.
- Unicorn Horn Relay: Set up a relay race where kids balance a unicorn horn on their heads while racing against the clock. Fastest team wins!
💡 Tip: Set up a Unicorn Photo Booth with flower crowns, wings, and pastel props for dreamy photos.
Unicorn-Approved Treats
Once the unicorns are adopted and the games are over, it’s time for snacks that twinkle, shimmer, and taste like pure rainbow magic!
- Magical Munchies: Set up a whimsical treat table featuring Flying Flowers, Magic Meringues and Dancing Donuts — a rainbow of flavours and fun that will delight every little unicorn!
- Rainbow Cocoa Bar: Serve warm white chocolate with pastel sprinkles, fluffy marshmallows, and a dusting of edible glitter for sips that sparkle with every stir.
- Unicorn Horn Cones: Serve Ice cream cones dipped in white chocolate and decorated with sprinkles, shimmer dust, and rainbow accents — the perfect sweet treat for tiny hooves and hands!
💡 Tip: Create a “Magical Toppings Bar” where kids can add glittery sprinkles, pastel candies, edible stars, and shimmer dust to customise their treats
Magical Unicorn Party Favours
Send kids home with keepsakes that are just as enchanting as their new unicorn friends!
