Have the Perfect Party: Reptile Party Decor

by Sam Sherdel


Reptile parties are a unique an engaging experience to add to any animal lover’s event. From a 5th birthday to a bachelorette party, a well curated reptile encounter can make your party an event to remember! Decorations are a must to transport your party goers beyond the reality of your backyard or venue of choice. Safari, reptile, and dinosaur themes all lend themselves to bringing along your very own reptile show encounter.


SAFARI THEME

For the animal lover, a safari theme is one of the most chosen. For this party theme consider green foliage, tropical plants, khaki cargo pants, and every type of exotic animal you can think of. By mixing natural green hues throughout your party, you can give a natural forest vibe. Balloons are a simple and inexpensive way to add color and create a beautiful backdrop for your safari event. You can find many pre-made safari themed balloon backdrops HERE.

Cakes can be custom made to resemble animal prints or animal shape either in your local cake shop or at home. One easy DIY option is to make a snake cake. CLICK HERE for a great snake cake recipe!

Because most exotic animals are not available of private events, a reptile show is the perfect entertainment option for your safari party experience. Reptile parties are available in many locations. Sam of SnakesonSam provides immersive and educational reptile show entertainment throughout Los Angeles County and surrounding areas.

 

DINOSAUR THEME

Dinosaurs are a favorite amongst all kids. Chances are your child would like a dinosaur party for one of their birthday events. Being one of the classic kid party themes, it is quite easy to find a variety of dinosaur themed decorations. These days you will find many styles ranging from elegant to cartoon-like dinos. Unlike the colorful safari theme, dinosaur parties are typically associated with hues of brown, mimicking prehistoric dinosaur environments.

For your dino party entertainment agenda it is always a great idea to supply two types of entertainment. The first type of entertainment can be enjoyed freely throughout the party. For example a dino dig site is a fun activity for adults and children to enjoy throughout the day. Later, you can have living dinosaurs stop by your event for a 1 hour reptile encounter show. Kids not can see real ancestors of dinos, but they can touch the exotic creatures!

 

REPTILE THEME

If your child is the type that catches local lizards outside your home or your adult best friend has a fascination for these amazing scaled creatures, a reptile theme is the way to go! Outside is the best location for a reptile theme party as the backdrop of trees and foliage provides much of the decor you need for this type of party. The colors work well for this theme are the same as you would choose for the safari theme party. In a reptile party you would eliminate all animal print decor with the exception of snake skin print. Lizard figurines can be used to decorate tables or for party favors.

The most memorable component of your reptile theme party is the reptile encounter show. Not only will your child’s friends be able to take home a stretchy lizard or a snake bracelet, but they will be able to “wear” a real snake as a necklace during the event!
