Those yummy round pillows of dough make my heart sing. They would be the perfect party theme. So donut you want a doughnut party?

First things first. Is it spelled doughnut or donut? Doughnut is the original and most common spelling. Yet, donut is also acceptable but much less common. For this post let’s stick with donut…..I’m kinda wild like that!

Donut Grow Up Balloons

Nothing is more festive for a party than balloons. These “donut grow up” balloons would be perfect for any donut themed birthday. Even better, you can grab them from Amazon. Easy peasy!

Donut Backdrop

Every donut deserves its own bakery vibe! A bakery backdrop makes the perfect focal point for your party. Use it behind your treat table or as a fun photo booth background. While the original backdrop I loved is no longer available, I found another adorable bakery-themed backdrop that will make your party pop.

Donut Piñata

Donut Craft

My 7 year old went to a donut themed birthday party recently. She came home with this donut craft. It is SO simple and my daughter was SO in love with the donut she created. We talked multiple times about the number of sprinkles she chose to put on it and she also wrote on the back of her donut. The donut pictured below is done on cardboard but the one my daughter brought home was just made with card stock. Such an easy craft to throw together for a party but SO fun for the party goers to design.

Donut Wall

One fun way to display your donuts for your party is with a donut wall. This wall from Target (the one is no longer available, but I did find this double pack donut wall at Amazon) comes in a 2 pack so it can hold 18 donuts. Don’t limit yourself though. If you have skills you want to pull out then you go right ahead and build your own donut wall. It’s an extra fun way to carry on with your donut theme.
