Pink + Black Elephant
Aztec Galaxy Pattern ($1.50 per invite): First, you’ve gotta invite your girls. How cute are these colorful elephants? Go for the black background if you’re planning an evening event and go for the right if it’s more of a Sunday Funday.
Wild at Heart
Another option for invites is to send actual plastic animals to all of your guests. We would love to receive one of these mini packages. (via Angela and Ithyle)
Gold Animal Drink Stirrers
What would a party be without drinks? Make up a batch of blood orange mimosas and stir ’em up with these festive DIY drink stirrers. (via Brit + Co.)
Animal Party Spoons
There’s definitely something borderline morbid about forks and spoons with animals atop them, but they’re sure to add a sort of cheeky, kitschy mood to your event. (via Funkytime)
Party Animal Balloons
Um, how awesome are these balloons? We want to buy them all! (via Wish Upon A Wedding)
Balloon Animals
Or go kid-style and drum up your DIY balloon animal skills. After all, Owen Wilson isn’t the only one who can wow the kiddos with balloon animals! You can even hire someone who can make balloon animals for the bride and groom. (photo via IGN)
Fancy Animal-Shaped Cheez-Its
For snacks, we recommend whipping up plate or ten of these addictive gourmet Cheez-Its. Our favorite flavor? Gruyere black pepper, for sure. (via Brit + Co.)
Anorak Kissing Animals Picnic Blankets
rabbits, birds, or stags—we can’t pick a favorite.
11. Real Men Love Cats ($23): If you’re throwing a bridal shower, get the bride-to-be a gift for her groom. Meow!
Gilded Hippo + Rhino Vases
Make quirky little arrangements or take-home favors for all your peeps by creating your own set of these silly vases. (via Brit + Co.)
Vegan Banana Bread Animal Crackers
First of all, why haven’t we ever heard of banana bread animal crackers before? Second of all, vegan? Sign us up. (via Healthful Pursuit)
14. Animal Onesies (£40): If you’re throwing a slumber party, all your girls definitely need an animal onesie. (Editor’s Note: I totally bought these for my best friend’s bachelorette and they were a huge hit!)
Colorful Flip Flops
Colorful Herd, the Spacey Cats, the Paisley Deer Head, or Chevron Elephants? Choices, choices.
