Backyard Carnival Decorating
Plan an easy backyard carnival with an assortment of stations where fun games can be played and good food can be eaten. We have a variety of colorful decorations to give you ideas that can be used to decorate plain tables that you may already have. There’s no need to construct booths from scratch.
Simply take a folding table, drape with a colorful plastic table cover, and attach some metallic fringed table skirting to hide the table legs. Then tie a bunch of
colorful latex balloons to metallic balloon weights and place on either end of the table. You can set up simple, pre-packaged games behind each stand, like: a Duck Fishing Game, a Clown Ring Toss Game, a Bowling Game, or even a sign up for a Potato Sack race. If you want ideas for creative, homemade games; stack empty soda cans, take a bunch of colorful bean bags, and see who can knock over the most.
Don’t stop decorating with just the game booths; an
Outdoor Carnival Decorating Kit comes with almost everything you’ll need to decorate any surrounding trees or create sections for special events. We even carry the multi-color pennant banners, so you can be sure to have enough to decorate your entire carnival. Don’t forget use your carnival decorations to spice up your food stands, too.

And who wouldn't want to take home a special photo memory of this fabulous day! Set up an assortment of our inexpensive carnival photo props and take a picture of each guest standing behind the prop of their choice. Its fun and a great way to end your party with a unique party favor.
