I’m a sucker for a party I’d have one every weekend if I could. I just love gathering people together. I even *gasp* love hosting. I love putting everything together. But I also love EASY. I love being able to throw something together relatively quickly and that’s not always easy with parties especially with “Pinterest Pressure”.
I’m a middle of the road type of girl. I definitely succumb to the Pinterest Pressure but I’m also happy to take the path of least resistance when need be. Which is where Just Pretend Kids Party Sets come in.
They have a variety of different themes including Safari, Ladybug, Circus, Fairytale Princess and more. They come with enough stuff for a party of 8.
- 1 – Costume for the Birthday Guest of Honor
- 8 – Invitations
- 8 – 9″ Plates
- 8 – 7″ Plates
- 16 – Napkins
- 1 – Tablecover
- 8 – 9 oz. hot/cold cups
- 8 – Matching Cutlery: forks, knives and spoons
Some kits have a little extra depending on the theme as an example the Fairytale Princess set also comes with a Tiara! If you need extra stuff or more decorations, they have that too!
When we decided to do a party for play group I thought the Safari theme would be the most fun especially since we had a “watering hole” of our own–the blow up pool with slide! There are so many great ideas out there for a Safari Party and the Just Pretend Kids Party Kits help bring it together perfectly!

We had such a great time at the Just Pretend Kids Safari Party. Everything was so easy to throw together thanks to the kit and I’m obsessed with the Lion costume that came with the kit. So plush and soft, we will absolutely be using it again for dress up play and Halloween!
I’m so excited to get started planning the next party we have! The themes are endless!
