Rainbow is back and it’s bigger, bolder and brighter than ever.
If you’re planning on throwing a rainbow theme party and aren’t sure where to start, then don’t panic. This colourful theme is ideal for all ages and its unisex design makes it very easy to recreate at home.
We’re here to show you just how easy it is to transform an ordinary party into a rainbow-extravaganza. Keep reading to find out our favourite ways to add a pop of colour to your next celebration.
1. Rainbow Tableware
First things first, every party needs tableware but we’re not talking about your standard slightly dull disposable plates. In fact, our rainbow themed tableware is far from dull. With bright rainbow colours, it will transform your party tables and help bring your theme to life.
If you’re struggling for rainbow party ideas for toddlers, take a look at this spectacular rainbow collection which offers matching paper plates, napkins and cups. They make a great set providing you with everything you need for your rainbow feast all at once.
Alternatively, if you don’t quite fancy the bright, bold colour scheme then our soft pastel rainbow tableware is a great option.
2. Rainbow Party Decorations
Now, of course, every part of planning a rainbow party is fun, but there is something about hanging up all the decorations that will really bring your venue to life. We recently launched a new collection ‘Over the Rainbow’ which includes plenty of bright and bold rainbow decorations, making it very easy to create your own magical rainbow party in just a matter of minutes.
So if you’re in need of some easy rainbow party ideas, we have multi-coloured tassel garlands, colourful confetti balloons and a giant rainbow balloon to give your next celebration that wow factor!
3. Decorating Your Venue
To begin decorating your venue, we recommend simply hanging your rainbow tassel garland across the doorway to welcome your guests. Or you can hang it above the food and drinks table for an impressive touch. Depending on the occasion, why not dot around our multi-coloured confetti balloons if you’re looking for rainbow party ideas for toddlers?
However, if you’re not celebrating a birthday then why not go for our giant rainbow balloon instead? Trust us, it won’t take many to transform your venue and these decorations won’t go unnoticed.
4. Rainbow Party Food Ideas
There are plenty of ways to incorporate the rainbow party theme into your food table. We’ve chosen a few of our favourites to make it super easy to achieve impressive goodies without slaving away in the kitchen hours before the party – nobody, let alone a parent has time for that!
Rainbow cupcakes or colourful sweet treats are a simple way to create that pop of colour. You can bake your own or if you’re short on time, purchase them from the supermarket and decorate them at home. We recommend decorating them with multi-coloured sprinkles, rainbow strips or rainbow drops to tie in with your theme.
Or if cupcakes aren’t your preference, why not re-create this multi-coloured macaron stack for an equally effective wow factor?
5. Colourful Popcorn
Another popular treat is the colourful rainbow popcorn. All you’ll need is popped popcorn and edible colour spray in a variety of colours to give the rainbow effect (you’ll normally be able to purchase these from a larger supermarket or a craft store such as Hobbycraft). This is the perfect little treat to serve as a snack or a little party bag accessory at your rainbow party.
However, if you’re looking for something a little healthier, then why not chop up an abundance of tasty fruit in the colours of the rainbow and serve them on a big platter as shown in the image below? You could even create a similar look with chopped veg sticks, although maybe a little more challenging to get every colour of the rainbow.
6. Rainbow Party bags
Don’t let your guests go home empty-handed. Make sure everyone gets their own little rainbow party bag filled with goodies and rainbow themed treats. Don’t worry if you’re lacking inspiration, the thing about a rainbow theme party is that there is plenty of room to get creative, as long as you choose colourful goodies you’re sticking to your theme! However, if you’re still stuck keep reading for our top party bag picks.
Here are a few of our party bag favourites:
– Bubbles
– Rainbow Drops
– A selection of rainbow sweets tied in a clear cellophane bag
– Kids activity book & colouring pencils
– Any Rainbow themed toys or accessories, perhaps a keyring or a notebook
– Last but by no means least, a slice of leftover birthday cake (a true party bag tradition and everyone’s favourite part right!?)
7. Rainbow Cake Ideas

Rainbow Candles – with a few variations to choose from it’s never been easier to incorporate a touch of colour into your cake.
