Is there anything more fun than a day at the circus? Well, how about a circus-themed party? To celebrate Anisa’s 6th birthday, her mum organised a spectacular circus-themed party for Anisa and 40 of her family and friends.

The carnival theme was inspired by Anisa’s love for the Cirque du Soleil performance she saw with her mum. Taking this theme as their inspiration, the event took on a red, black and white colour palette and an array of circus-themed décor items.

The theme was also brought to life with circus performers and carnival-inspired games—both of which provided bucket-loads of entertainment for party guests!

And the food? Joanne says, ‘It was a very simple menu loved by kids—typical carnival foods like snow cones and cotton candy were on top of the list!’
