Budget Safari Birthday Theme
Safari birthday theme parties have been growing in popularity over the last year! We’ve seen a huge rise in submissions via Tagged Tuesday and can’t help but love the uniqueness of each one. From chic set ups glimmering with gold and mint green to burlap and leopard inspired decor, there’s so many ways to approach a safari birthday theme.
We understand why keeping a budget low and on track is important for any event – it’s why we’re in the wholesale event decor industry! Our mock up for this popular theme costs less than $100 and you can mimic or make it your own the next time you take it on. Our animal print table linens include leopard and zebra in case you prefer one over the other for an animal themed birthday party.
Keep in mind we offer wholesale pricing on our linens, which means the more you purchase, the more you save. While some of the costs for sashes and napkins may seem high, you’ll generally get a price break with quantities of ten or higher.

Tips for Saving Even More Money
- If your venue can stand on its own and you want to save some of your budget when it comes to linens the first thing to cut is draping. Our draping for this mock up came to $53, which you can re-allocate to favors, games, or other decor elements Also try using 4 ft marquee letters and 4 ft marquee numbers.
- For a more subtle (and budget-friendly) safari birthday theme you can skip the emerald green spandex chair bands and leopard satin sashes and replace them with an emerald green satin sash. If you’re using draping you’ll already be picking some up, which means bonus savings for ordering 10+! This method will save you around $9.50 per 4 chairs.
- Our accent decor, such as the leaves and moss, come from local craft shops. Use these as inspiration for your jungle theme birthday outfit. Keep your eye out for local sales and coupons to get your smaller accents at a great price!
