If your child is a fan of Judith Kerr’s The Tiger Who Came to Tea, or just loves tigers, they may have asked for a tiger-themed party. The great thing about the online world is that it gives us access to party supplies on just about every theme imaginable - but what decorations should you get for a tiger event? Here are our top suggestions to make their special day totally ROARsome!

1. Balloons

No party is complete without balloons, and there are a surprising number of options for a tiger theme. Choose from standard round balloons in orange and black, options with a tiger-stripe pattern, or balloons in the shape of a tiger. 
 

2. Back drop

Kids love to pose for a photo, and creating a backdrop will give your party pictures an extra helping of fun. Hang alternate orange and black streamers in a stripe pattern up against a wall, or create a jungle effect with green fabric and artificial garlands.  
 

3. Bunting

Bunting is synonymous with celebrations, so stringing it up around your venue will certainly bring the party vibe. If you’re really committed to the tiger theme, choose bunting with a tiger print or tigers in different poses, or opt for jungle leaf bunting as a nod to tiger habitats. You could even make the bunting at home if your child is keen to be involved with the party planning. 
 

4. Soft toys

Soft toys are an easy and adorable addition to your party setup. If your child already has tiger toys, bring them along and place them around the venue. They’ll also provide some comfort if any of the kids want a cuddle with them. 
 

5 Table cloths

Whether you’re getting the kids to sit down for a packed lunch or help themselves to a party buffet, tiger themed table cloths are a must-have decoration. Go for tiger-stripe print to create a bold aesthetic or choose a cloth with pictures of tigers for a more playful theme.

6. Tableware

Plates, cups, bowls - whatever you need to serve food and drink can be acquired in a tiger theme. Online retailers offer a range of designs, allowing you to choose the option that suits the rest of your aesthetic. 

7. Cardboard cutout

If you want to bring a real wow factor to the party, why not invest in a tiger cardboard cutout? The kids can pose next to a lifelike tiger as it stalks through the venue. There are also cutouts available of the tiger in The Tiger Who Came to Tea, which are perfect for fans of the story or little ones who might find a lifelike tiger a bit scary.
