Rainbow Party

Rainbow party supplies for children's birthdays — everything you need to fill a room with colour. Bright tableware, multi-colour balloons, crepe paper streamers, rainbow bunting and party bag fillers, all in one place. If you want ideas on how to put the theme together, our rainbow party ideas guide covers decorations, table layouts and party bags in detail.

Rainbow party decorations

The most effective rainbow decoration is the simplest: crepe paper streamers in all seven colours, twisted together and hung from ceiling to floor behind the party table. Our Rainbow Party Streamers 7pk gives you all seven colours in one set — one roll of each. Layer them in colour-order for a classic rainbow arc, or mix them freely across the ceiling for a more eclectic look. Add a balloon bunch above the table using one balloon per colour and a cluster of rainbow-foil balloons for centrepiece impact.

Rainbow party tableware

Coordinate your table with rainbow-print plates, cups and napkins. Paper tableware keeps the clear-up easy — everything can be composted or recycled after the party. If you can't find exact rainbow-print tableware, mix solid-colour plates in red, orange, yellow, green and blue for a table that looks deliberately colourful rather than mismatched. A plain white tablecloth makes the colours stand out best.

Rainbow party bag fillers

Rainbow party bags work well with a mix of small colourful items: rainbow-print tattoo sheets, kaleidoscopes, groovy glasses with colour lenses, and small multi-colour sticker sheets. None of these need to be expensive — a good party bag is about putting thought into what children will actually use, not filling it to the brim. Two or three items that do something beat a bag of plastic novelties every time.

Frequently asked questions

What do you need for a rainbow party?

Tableware in rainbow colours, multi-colour streamers and balloons, rainbow bunting, and party bag fillers with a colourful theme. Start with the table and decorations, then fill the party bags with two or three well-chosen items. See our full rainbow party ideas guide for decoration and table setup tips.

What age does a rainbow theme suit?

Ages 2–8. The bright colours appeal to younger children and the theme is flexible enough for mixed-age groups. It also works well for art-and-craft parties.

What rainbow party bag fillers are good?

Kaleidoscopes, groovy glasses, rainbow tattoo sheets and small sticker packs. Choose items with real play value over cheap plastic novelties — one good item makes more of an impression than a bag full of things that break.
