Use simple yet sweet invitation wordings like, We invite you to celebrate the arrival of the King/Queen of the Jungle. Be ready with your binoculars and safari hats.

Decorations

To bring in the mood of safari, decorate the party venue in jungle style. Use table clothes with animal drawings on them.

Place indoor plants in corners and decorate them with plastic green and brown vines. Hang some stuffed animal toys, like monkeys, birds, and other animals on these indoor plants. Ask the guests to bring some as well, and then put all these stuffed toys together at the center of a table.

You can also place all the gifts presented by the guests there, and cover them with a mosquito net. Also use other safari supplies, like binoculars and compasses, and place them on tables. Decorate the walls of the party venue by hanging various jungle maps.

Favors and Games
