Animal parties make for some of the best party themes, don’t you think? It’s such a versatile theme, you can even incorporate some other elements into it as well. Want to know what I’m talking about? Take a look at today’s feature, care of Camille Gonzales Photography, to see what I mean!

What we’re digging:

• What I like about Lucas’ birthday bash is how they were able to incorporate some rustic elements into the animal theme. The naked cake, the wooden crates as the table centerpieces, and even the backdrop of the dessert table were little accents that really elevated the theme from a simple safari party to something more.
• Another thing I liked was the use of balloons in this party. From the balloon arch at the entrance and the birthday boy’s name, even to the ceiling that was filled with different colored animal balloons–now, that’s what I call putting your decor to good use!
• Decorating tip: You don’t have to go all out and overdo your decor. Check out how they used printed table runners and bright drapes hanging from the ceiling to add a bit of safari flair to the room.
