Animal Planet Party Ideas
(The following ideas are exerpted from the Ultimate Jungle Themed Event - click here to read more)

Having a difficult time creating a 'jungle feel' at your Animal Planet party? Find fun jungle or animal print fabric at a local craft or hobby store. Find a pattern with dense, jungle leaves and decorate the entrance to your party with it (both sides of the entranceway.) Some green streamers draped densely from above the door could cover the overhead area, your fabric creates the jungle "sides." Use green light bulbs in the area and shine them on the plants, streamers or fabric to add to the foliage feel.
Another idea for an inexpensive jungle, get a lot of green streamers. Try to get at least two different shades of green and maybe one brown roll, too. Hang and droop the streamers randomly and densely throughout the party area…and NOT just overhead. You can make green construction paper leaves to tape to the streamers. If you have some artificial vines and leaves, you can sprinkle these around among the streamers…so you'll have the leaves of a jungle and the streamers will "fill in" the rest of the space. Let the 'vines' you create hang to the floor, wrap around some of the furniture, even squiggle on the ground. As long as it doesn't look uniform (the way normal streamers might) it will add the great jungle colors to your event. You can also hang some in doorways as 'vines' blocking the path and your guests will have to brush aside the vines as they walk about! Use green light bulbs in the area and shine them on the plants, streamers or fabric to add to the foliage feel.
Create an indoor tree for your Animal Planet party! Get a roll of brown package paper. Unroll a piece about 15 feet long. Crinkle and twist the paper over and over again. Now you can take the twisted "trunk" and attach it to the wall with thumbtacks, poster tack or tape. Try not to make a trunk that is straight up and down. Make some smaller twisted lengths of packaging paper as offshoot branches. Use green streamers to create "leaves" for the tree. You can take small lengths and crunch them together, then tape the bunch to the wall as a few leaves. You could also have your guests cut out leaves for your tree. Use construction paper and have them cut different leaves to tape to the wall.
Find some inflatable Animal Planet animals for your table, to hang from various places, or just to prop up around the party. If you cannot find them at a party supply store, check Oriental Trading Company. (Quest does not have any professional affiliation with OTC) They typically sell the animals by the dozen - but that means you can fill a lot of space easily. They could also be great parting gifts. Swimming pool supply stores or departments of larger stores often have inflatable animal products as well.
Make paper plate snakes for your Animal Planet party! Get simple paper plates and cut them in a spiral Start from the outer edge and cut into the plate in a circular, spiral pattern (making several rotations into the plate before making your way to the center.) Once you're near the center, create a knob for the head of the snake. You can hang the snake with thread, twine or ribbon…or even wrap them around your vines and streamers.

Serve animal food at your Animal Planet party! Healthy party food can be more appealing if you tell your guests they are eating like the animals. You can serve strange foods, or just name them differently. Thin french fries can be elephant hay. Salad is salad, of course. Monkey bananas. Orangutan oranges. Zebra nuggets - for the carnivores in your group.
