Choosing the unicorn birthday party theme

Magic, glitter, and lots of fun – that's what a unicorn birthday party brings to a child's celebration. The colourful theme is easy to realise, from the invitations through the decorations to the games and snacks. Everything is allowed to be colourful, playful, and a bit magical. And HARIBO provides the sweet rainbow moments!

DIY unicorn invitations, step by step

Before the big unicorn party starts, matching invitations are needed – and handmade ones are the nicest. Thanks to our free craft template that's really simple: in no time you'll have sweet invitation cards for your unicorn birthday party that are sure to build excitement. Whether the unicorn birthday party invitations stay plain or get elaborate decoration is your call – and the crafting fun starts right here:

  1. Print template: Download the PDF template and send it to the printer – slightly thicker paper works best.
  2. Cut out: Cut the unicorn out along the printed lines.
  3. Colour & decorate: Now for the colour: dress up the unicorns with felt-tip pens, glitter glue, or stickers however you like – all the same, or rather a unique piece each?
  4. Enter invitation text: The back is for name, date, time, and location – so nobody misses the start of the unicorn party.
  5. Fold or tie: Fold the card down the middle or finish it off with a bow – and your DIY unicorn invitation is ready.

Unicorn party food & sweets

Five colourful candy rainbow skewers loaded with HARIBO gummy sweets including sour sugar-coated hearts, rolled candy spirals and fruity gummy pieces, served on pastel blue and green speckled plates. Next to them is a green bowl filled with more assorted sweet treats. The table is decorated with pastel tassel garlands and cloud-shaped napkins on a coral pink background.

Rainbow skewers

For this colourful unicorn party food, thread different HARIBO varieties onto small wooden skewers – Sour Streamers, Peaches, Sour Sodas, Berry Clouds, and Watermelon, for example! The result is a sweet rainbow to snack on, and it takes hardly any effort.

On a pastel party table, pink paper cups overflow with colorful unicorn popcorn in pastel colors, HARIBO Goldbears Wild Berry, and mini marshmallows—a sweet snack station and take‑home treat for a unicorn birthday party.

Unicorn popcorn in pastel colours

Pour white chocolate over popcorn, tint the whole thing in pastel shades, and finish with HARIBO Goldbears Wild Berry on top. Sweet, simple, and exactly the kind of unicorn party snacks that suit the unicorn party theme.

Rainbow cake

These little cakes not only look magical, they're also very easy to bake. Shape small semicircles from quark-oil dough, brush them with icing, and arrange HARIBO Goldbears on top as rainbows. Small marshmallows form the “clouds” – perfect for your unicorn party food!

Unicorn party snacks platter

Take a pretty plate and fill it with a playful, colourful selection of HARIBO treats – Goldbears Wild Berry, Berries, Sour Streamers, Peaches, or Mini Rainbow Frogs all work well. That gives you a bright assortment of unicorn party snacks, and there's a favourite in there for everyone!

Go to the recipe

Cupcakes with pink and turquoise swirled frosting in pastel-colored cases, topped with HARIBO Goldbears and rainbow sprinkles, presented on a speckled cake stand and matching plate. Alongside are small bowls filled with more gummy bears, glasses with drinks and rainbow-colored fringed gift bags against a lilac background.

Rainbow cupcakes

Give the cupcakes a layer of icing and a handful of sprinkles first. HARIBO Goldbears Wild Berry sweets then sit beautifully on top – they add colour and hit the unicorn theme birthday party vibes exactly.

A sweet finale for the unicorn birthday party

When the unicorn party draws to a close, a bit of magic goes home with everyone: small unicorn birthday party favours round the day off nicely and stay in the guests' memory. Homemade or quickly put together – some glitter, imagination, and a few sweet extras are all it takes.


Our idea for loving unicorn party favours:

  • Small unicorn gift bags or boxes
  • A few HARIBO treats such as HARIBO Happy Cherries or Goldbears
  • Glitter stickers or mini craft sets
  • Unicorn buttons, stamps, or erasers
  • A short thank you card with a unicorn motif

Tip: Craft the bags together with the children – or get them ready in advance and set them out on the party table. That makes the goodbye almost as sweet as the party itself!
