Liesl absolutely LOVES animals, so we decided that a Wild African Safari would be the perfect theme for her 5th birthday.  Her only request was “live animals”, and we found a great non-profit to give the party goers a fun and and education exotic animal show and Liesl was their special assistant.

      Another lovely party! What a beautiful selection of color scheme and theme! You mentioned that you made the decals for the walls, plates, etc. May I ask which kind of cricut you have and does it print decals that big?

      hi Yaima – thanks! I only made the decals for the plates, cups, etc – small ones. The larger ones I purchased on etsy – their shop links are above. I’m sure they have some sort of industrial size cutter!

      Emily you are so talented you should have an event planner company. I love your ideas. I have used your previous parties as inspiration for my own. Even though I don’t have your budget, I’ve been able to use your ideas in my events and I’m so glad you post these wonderful birthday parties.

      Hi Emily,
      Do you have the party printables (invites/signs) available for purchase? May I ask where did you find the birthday girl dress and the muslin bags?
      Thanks

      I second on if you will sell your party printables!!! They are perfect and I would totally buy them for my son’s upcoming 2nd birthday! Any chance you’d be willing to sell them?

      Hi Emily,
      I am so in love with every aspect that you put together with this theme.
      Are you selling your pdf file or making those cute invitations?

      Hi everyone!
      Unfortunately the invites and signage aren’t printables and are not for sale. Also the name of the Animal Show contact is Saving Wildlife International.

      Thanks!

      Hi I loved the concept you did for your daughters birthday. Great JOB! I tried looking for the “party animal goody bag” at oriental trading and couldn’t find it? Did you design it with the animals and writing yourself? Or did it come like that?

      Hi Emily,

      I know now this post was quite a few years old but I am trying to do a safari bday party for my kids.
      I love everything you did! I have been searching everywhere for those color in wooden masks that I see in your post. Can you please please share with me where you got those. I can’t find them anywhere! Thank you so much for your time.
