To make the garland even more mystical, use hot glue to attach portions of an Iridescent Fringe Door Curtain to the back sides of stars from a Silver Glitter Star Garland. Affix the stars to the center of each balloon cluster using a small dab of hot glue.
Give your tabletop the rainbow treatment starting with a beautiful centerpiece.
To create a tablescape guests will adore, first paint Clear Square Vases with white paint to mimic fluffy clouds.
Spray paint bunches of fresh baby's breath in shades of pink, yellow, mint green, light blue, and lavender, then arrange each color in its own "cloud" vase.
Spray paint White Foam Flowers in the same coordinating colors hen tuck them into the vases at random for a stunning visual display.
Create a simple table runner by sprinkling silver foil star shaped confetti and painted DIY Small Unfinished Wood Star Shapes down the center of the table.
Round out the mystical feel of the tablescape by placing adorable DIY Ceramic Unicorn Banks on either end of the floral arrangement.
Setting an enchanting table is a cinch thanks to the allure of these Iridescent Unicorn-Shaped Paper Dessert Plates!
Layering the unicorn-shaped plates atop varying pastel hued plates such as Square Lavender Dinner Plates and Light Pink Square Paper Dinner Plates really makes them pop and will take your place settings to the next level.
Simple place cards can be created by first downloading and printing the watercolor rainbow template found here onto white cardstock. Next, paint Gold Star Place Card Holders in an array of pastel rainbow colors. Finally, write guests' names on the cards and affix them to the tops of the stars. Guests can then take them home and use them to hold small photos or reminders!
Serve sips in style using a combination of Premium Clear Plastic Wine Glasses and pastel stripe cups with Iridescent Paper Straws.
Finish each place setting by offering guests pastel foil rainbow napkins layered atop Iridescent Luncheon Napkins and metallic silver forks with pastel pink and lavender painted handles.
Sweets served in a rainbow of colors are a feast for the eyes that will surely delight your guests! Wrap your dessert table in a Pastel Rainbow Paper Tablecloth for a fresh and fun look.
Pastel hued macarons, a simple naked cake dressed up with a rainbow of florals, colorful sprinkle-covered cake pops and meringues tucked into a glass jar are not only pretty and coordinate perfectly with the color scheme, but they're yummy too!
Add style and charm to the dessert table by creating a sweet sign with a cheeky nod to the party's theme. The best part is that the sign can be used as nursery decor when the party is over!
To create the sign, first cover a Stained Wood Sign in a few coats of white paint. Once the paint has dried, paint a rainbow on a diagonal across the front, leaving the white paint to show around the edges. Next, cut the words out of vinyl with a cutting machine using the Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic template found here. Likewise, you could trace the letters onto the sign and fill in with a silver marker using the steps found here.
After the words have been adhered to the center of the sign, attach spray painted DIY Small Unfinished Wood Star Shapes to upper and lower corners of the sign using hot glue. And now you have a charming decor piece to first dazzle your guests, and then adorn your little bundle's nursery walls!
Complete the dessert table by sprinkling it with Silver Foil Star-Shaped Confetti and pastel rainbow painted DIY Small Unfinished Wood Star Shapes. Don't forget to place a colorful arrangement of flowers in a square vase alongside a DIY Ceramic Unicorn Bank.
Guests will love showing off their creativity while making a little magic for baby! Set up a crafting station by placing DIY Ceramic Unicorn Banks in a wooden tray. Encourage guests to decorate the banks using paint markers.
Create a pretty sign for the craft station by first tracing the phrase "Make A Little Magic For Baby" onto an acrylic sign using a white chalk marker. You can download the template with the phrase here. Give it a colorful facelift by painting a diagonal rainbow onto the back side of the sign using acrylic paint, leaving the outer edges uncovered.
Be sure to send your guests home with a little magic for themselves! Tuck small gifts into DIY Unfinished Wood Round Boxes then place them into pastel stripe gift bags. And, since you're never too old to let go of your playful side, add unicorn finger puppets and Unicorn Iridescent Headbands to each! Have everyone wear the headbands and pose in front of the rainbow balloon garland for a fun photo to commemorate the day!
