Here are a few budget friendly ideas to set up a BTS carnival

Carnival decorations

Brilliant colors, decorations and carnival party pop up tents will make a great way to set the milieu. Colored paper streamers, paper lanterns or pennant banners will make excellent decorations. Better still, if you don’t have a canopy tent, just make a cloth tent by attaching a rope to two trees and putting colored sheets over it for a perfect carnival effect. Do not forget to set up a photo booth area with some cheerful backdrop and props for some great memories!

Carnival Treats

Nothing says carnival fun like treats. Set up an area for kids to eat. Use brightly colored table covers, décor items and chairs to drive up the carnival feel. Use bunches of balloons as table centerpieces. You can even put a few on the chairs or around the tables. Kids will love to take home these balloons after the party. You can personalize these balloons with your brand , mascot or message to add a personal touch. Some of the carnival treats to consider include pretzels or nuts, which will be a huge hit among kids. How about setting up a BBQ set or a French fry bar at one corner? This will surely be a crowd puller for sure.
