CANDYLAND PARTY INVITATIONS
If you're feeling like your creative juices are all dried up and you can't come up with any cute little Candyland invitation ideas, then you'll want to check out our Candyland Theme Invitations section of our site for some fun and fabulous ideas. They are nothing short of SWEET and some are even yummy!
CANDYLAND PARTY COSTUMES
You can either challenge everyone to create the various Candyland characters and come in costume, or have the birthday child dress up, along with all the helpers.
If you don't require costumes, create candy crowns for everyone to wear. Cut yellow or gold card stock into thirds and use your child's head as a guide for creating the crown size. Glue hard candies, lollipops, gumdrops, jelly beans, etc. to crown.
CANDYLAND PARTY DECORATIONS
Imagine as your guests arrive, they are greeted by a wonderful world of Candyland adventure. With squeals of delight they will shout, "Goody, Goody, Gumdrops!" Here's some Candyland theme party ideas to help you deck your yard with Candyland decor.
- Put colorful balloons outside to alert guests of party location. Attach to mailbox, hang from tree, or tie to car antenna.
- Use a painter's plastic drop cloth to create a Candyland path to your front door. Cover the drop cloth with various colored squares using colored plastic tablecloths or various colored felt squares. In the alternative, you could use fun candy drops like the ones above to create your walkway.
- Line the walkway with large lollipops made from Styrofoam discs and wood dowels as sticks. Cover with colorful cellophane, tissue, or tulle netting and tie off with color-coordinated ribbons.
- If you can find an after Christmas sale, line walkway with yard stake candy canes.
- Create the Rainbow Trail with a rainbow balloon arch. If you have a wire arch cover it in various colored balloons. If not, create your arch from cut-up wire hangers.
Candyland Birthday Party Decorations - If you really want to go all out and create a magical Candyland spectacular environment, then check out the great Sugarplum kit noted above, which comes with a gingerbread house, lollipop standees, gingerbread men standees, and a Peppermint Drop Walkway. It would also serve as a great photo-op.
- Cover your front door with silver wrapping paper and then decorate it with huge pieces of candy made from cardboard and painted in bright candy colors.
Now that your yard shouts, "P-A-R-T-Y", it's time to think about the inside of your house. So, if you're looking for some Candyland theme decorations to turn the inside of your home into King Kandy's Castle, then you'll want to check out our Candyland Birthday Party Decorations for some yummy ideas.
