A magical fairy unicorn party designed for BOTH girls and boys. 🦄🌈
A tall order you say? Nonsense. Turns out boys like cool unicorns too.
Since we do a double birthday party every year, its always fun to have the boys join in too. But we usually need to balance out the girly theme. This year we toned down the typical bright unicorn colors and leaned into vintage woodland vibes to pull off an everyone-friendly theme.
Check out fun double birthday ideas HERE, including a list of even more fairy unicorn party ideas.

A Fairy-Kissed Invitation
The scent of honeysuckle and lilac drifts through the air, with a hint of magic tickling your nose. You think you see something—a pair of wings—but surely it was just a butterfly. You kneel down and notice a tiny door set into the base of a tree. How curious . . .
Then a leaf flutters onto your lap. But not just any leaf. Whether carved by unicorn horn or fairy wand, you aren’t completely sure. But the sparkling script flows across the leaf veins as if they were grown there. One thing is for certain: this invitation is for you, and it came from the creatures hiding in the enchanted meadow.
They can’t wait to meet you.
Strawberry & Cream Cake
One of my favorite finds for the party were the strawberry candles! 🍓😍🍓
We used this recipe for the cake (so yummy!), and ended up adding a layer of Smucker’s Natural Jam between layers of lightly sweetened whipped cream. Then we decorated with sprigs of chamomile picked that morning.
Look at the little candles all lit up with two cuties ready to blow them out. My heart.
Fairy and Unicorn Party Food
Another hit were the healthy carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (we used grandma’s recipe and spiked it with orange zest and fresh orange juice) and topped with edible pearls and truly magical edible butterflies! 🦋🤩🦋
Butterfly tip: Don’t put them on until right before you want to serve them, and only get the middle a teeny tiny bit wet so they will bend, but the wings won’t wilt.
We filled mini terracotta pots with blueberries that were watched over by a playful fairy.
Crispy leaves (chips), creamy moss (guacamole), and mango peach garden salsa.
Morning dew drops (yogurt covered raisins) displayed in a vintage dish.
Strawberry Poki Sticks made sweet and easy fairy wands.
I was so thrilled to find the same chocolate mushrooms I had in Japan in our local Asian market. If you can find them, they are adorable and quite tasty!
Though not pictured, we also served blackberry lavender lemonade with dry ice. The slush the dry ice turns into is sooo delicious.
Flower and herb butter with my favorite no-knead bread. I probably would have mixed the butter with seasoning before spreading it. But it turned out so beautiful! The herbs and edible flowers were all from our garden.
Butterfly pasta salad! Perfect for your favorite pasta salad flavor. We went with chicken bacon ranch.
Enchanted Forest Decorations
Above the food table we hung an diy sign of the cutest little ABC fairies.
This year’s cardboard creation was a fairy hut.
Added a diy floor table to give the kiddos somewhere to eat.
I still have our dried flower mantle hanging display up. Love bringing the garden inside.
Fairy Unicorn Party Games and Activities
Special Guest Star: Fairy
Every year we like to have a special guest star, and our sweet friend from church made the cutest fairy helper for our crafts! Plus the perfect photo op.
Rainbow Jewelry Craft
We used pipe cleaners so the younger guests could thread their rainbows easily. A great activity for arriving guests.
Nature Wands
Every fairy needs a wand! We made different shapes out of cereal boxes, then prepped them with Tack It Over & Over glue and collected flower petals from the garden for decorations.

Rainbow Hunt
Help! My name is Fluffynumpkins and an evil wizard trapped me inside a rainbow!
For our rainbow hunt the kids had to do 3 tasks to help free the unicorn.
- Collect 5 fairy friends
- Find magical rocks (and maybe make a potion)
- Defeat the bubble-breathing dragon
Then they said the magic words and the rainbow piñata burst out of the box with cloud fluff.
Storytime
Parties can be a little crazy, so we like to take a minute and do something calm.
Our storytime picks this year were:
- A Fairy Friend—super cute
- Over in the Woodland—has baby griffins for the kids to find on each page and can be sung to the tune of Over in the Meadow
- Invasion of the Unicorns—quite funny
Balloon Dance Party
And finally, one of the best ways to end a kids party is with some dance songs and balloons. Pure childhood magic.
Check out our kid dance playlist on Spotify.
If I were to do it again, I would definitely have done unicorn duels. But I think it was still a hit.
