These are a few easy ways you can decorate the front and entrance of your home for a circus party.

What You’ll Need

balloons
streamers
tickets
cardboard clown

Instructions

1. Tie balloons in primary colors to the mailbox. Also decorate the mailbox with streamers in primary colors or colors that compliment your other decorations.

2. If you have someone in your family who will help by dressing up as a ringmaster, they can give the party guests a ticket when they arrive that will let them enter the circus party.

3. At the front of your house, have a cardboard cut-out of a clown with the face missing so you can take a picture of each guest behind the cut-out. If you have a Polaroid® camera place the developed pictures on a table so the kids can look at them.

4. Don't forget to decorate the front door. The decoration can be as simple as stapling two red and white-striped curtains to door frame. When the kids are ready to enter, part the curtains - it's just like entering a circus tent!
