This WIZARD OF OZ RAINBOW THEMED 4TH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Keith and Tanya Manning of Totfudge! Such a cute party! All the display’s and ideas are too cute!
Here is what Tanya said about planning the party- “This year our daughter, Clara, asked for a Wizard of Oz birthday party. She and her sister spent the summer coming up with some really good ideas. We had to narrow down all of the great ideas the girls had and decided to focus on the iconic patterns and colors from the movie. For example: Yellow chalk on the driveway to create a yellow brick road, silver party hats with red hearts for the tin man, blue gingham napkins in honor of Dorothy’s dress, black and white striped plates to symbolize the wicked witch’s tights. We designed a new invitation just for this party and hand glittered Dorothy’s ruby red slippers. Another pattern we used was RAINBOW! We used crepe paper to create a rainbow in the hallway, served rainbow fruit, and made a rainbow surprise cake. I’ve always wanted to try a rainbow cake after seeing it on Pinterest and it was a huge hit!
The most fun part for us was creating the Munchkin Land sweet table. I chose all of the treats, mostly from Kara’s Party Ideas shop, and my husband designed some really cute labels. The kids (and grown-ups) had a ball filling up their goodie bags with treats at the end of the party.”

This adorable SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Christy Bergerson of Itsy Belle!
Christy said- “When the mommy & me playgroup I belong too wanted to do an end of summer party, all kinds of themes were considered. When a rainbow party came up in discussion and we realized we had 7 girls we knew it was perfect! A “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” theme was decided on and each little guest was assigned one Color of the rainbow to represent. Outfits could be put together in their color reflecting their personality.
What’s a party without treats?! Skittles were decided on as the perfect rainbow of sweets and I went to work creating a preschooler perfect dessert table. I was really inspired by the vintage lemonade stands I’ve seen popping up everywhere lately. Some weathered wooden crates created the perfect stand. I purchased fabric in every Color of the rainbow and cut into strips to create the fun fabric banner topping it. A vintage lemonade inspired sign declaring “Rainbows 5¢”, jars with colorful party circles and color coordinating paper fans with each little guests Name, and a candy scoop tag reading “taste the rainbow ” invited each guest to help themselves to some sweets. Plastic bags, Colorful string and thank you rainbow tags were provided for everyone to create their own sweet rainbow favors to take home. The centerpiece of the sweets stand was the fondant & ribbon covered cake, topped with an adorable rainbow pom cake topper created by Deborah of Titi’s Tutus.
The moms wanted to make sure to have a lot of photos of their adorable little rainbow, so a basket attached to balloons was the perfect “photobooth” offering rides to ” Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. Each girl got a turn in the basket and it quickly turned into a fun game of knocking the basket over with friend inside! Thankfully it was all in fun and lots of giggling took place!”

How fun is this RAINBOW DASH PONY 4TH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Megan Altman of Megan Altman Photography! I love the fanned rainbow backdrop and the chevron tags / labels!
You are going to love this RAINBOW UNICORN 7TH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Amber Gannon! I’ll admit- I adored unicorns when I was young so this party has a special place in my heart!
Amber said- “This party was thrown for my daughter, Madelyn’s, 7th birthday. She wanted a magical Unicorn Rainbow themed sleepover. No detail from the crafts, to the food, to the cake and the party favors was ignored. The girls made glittery unicorn stenciled shirts and edible unicorn horn ice cream cones as their take-home crafty party favors, which were added to the goodies from the Unicorn Piñata. The girls were so surprised to see the inside layers of the Rainbow Ruffle cake matched the festive outside layers. For the food, the mini yogurt and fruit “rainbow swirls” were a big hit with the personalized wooden spoons with the birthday girl’s initial, “M” stamped on. Also to note the unicorn sprinkle pb&j’s, rainbow popcorn, trix krispies, cucumber bites, rainbow goldfish, grilled cheese triangles, pink lemonade and every color of skittle your heart could ever wish for. We made each of the girls their own name stretchy rainbow bracelet and bright colored hair extension to add a personal touch, as well. A great time was had by all! They all wore their unicorn shirts the following Monday to school. It was a huge hit!”
