Recently, Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone produced a fabulous Jungle Safari Birthday party for a special little boy.
The party was held at the Detroit Zoological Society where guests enjoyed various zoo excursions and fun rides before celebrating in our Safari themed Tent for lunch, entertainment and birthday wishes.
With only one month to plan for over 125 guests and a very large empty tent to design, we pulled out all stops to create a magical jungle escape for the birthday boy and his guests to enjoy.
Our design inspiration came from the Zoo life itself; tropical floral and green foliage, different and unique animals, rustic outdoor elements and an imagination of going on a wild safari trip.
The invitation suite was designed by couture invitation designer Celeste Simpson of Impress Me Designs.
Guests were called to the party with a beautiful Passport Invitation, inviting them to embark on the birthday boy’s safari excursion.
With their zoo excursions complete, guests arrived to the Tent for a delectable lunch and were greeted by various entertainment acts as well as life size Giraffes, Elephants and Water feature vignettes. Safari Hats placed at each setting were given to further enhance the jungle safari festivities.
A candy store inspired candy buffet for guests to indulge in was designed by our Metro Luxe Events Executive Chef Daniel, for guests to fill their bags to take home as a memento of the day’s events.
The delicious Cake was designed using the animal print theme throughout, featuring life like edible bamboo shoots and glitter dusted fondant leafs, grass and rock boulders to accent.
To end this magical safari journey, guests joined a magician in singing and wishing the birthday boy happy birthday. Candles were blown out, with all his wishes sealed and the safari trip was complete.
Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone believes that the event stationary should all compliment and become a full stationery suite. Using the safari themed elements from the passport invitation, we created a fun Thank You card to send to guests for gratitude in joining this wild celebration!
