The christening of our son Benjamin was styled in a circus party extravaganza. The following post showcases some circus themed party ideas that can be adapted for a party of your own.

Get a three tiered cake with fun circus animals, brights stars and surround with circus balls. Stick to red, blue and white colours for maximum impact.
DIY Name Sign
Make a sign with your child's name on it with dollar store clown letters glued onto some decorative white fencing.

Photo-booth
(the one pictured was purchased from Spotlight) Hang a large polka dotted sheets of fabric on the wall for guests to use as a backdrop for photos. Keep assorted accessories, wigs and glasses handy to make things interesting. You can easily make your own by sticking cardboard shapes of smiles (like the one featured) or moustaches on balloon sticks, you can also find lots of printable designs online to stick on.
