Peter Rabbit Party Decor
You want to capture the beauty and nostalgia of our favorite bunny tale with your decorations. From a pastel palette to bright garden accents, you can create a whimsical world for your Peter Rabbit-themed celebration.
Use cute cottontail colors
Pull some inspiration from the bunny himself with light blues, tans, and creams for your party colors. Gingham, polka dots, or stripes are no-fail patterns for your bunny-based party decor.
Stretch those DIY skills with craft supplies like paper, fabric scraps, and burlap to create banners and tablecloths. You can even make a matching highchair skirt for a Peter Rabbit birthday party.

Go with a gorgeous garden
Our favorite story mostly takes place in a garden setting, which can easily be recreated in your party space. This gives you the chance to use brighter colors and lots of greenery in the decor.
Capture that vegetable garden feel with unique arrangements using lettuce, carrots, cabbages, and radishes. Use fresh veggies or make plastic creations with pails or wheelbarrows for unique base options.
Share sweet sayings
Every story has favorite moments or fun quotes we all love. Find unique and clever ways to use them in your party decor. Think wall quotes, framed table art, or even cute plates.
If you’re hosting a Peter Rabbit birthday party or baby shower, you can put these sweet sayings on the gift table or with your guest book. Then, moms-to-be can keep them as a gift for their nursery!

Peter Rabbit Party Food
Lean into the garden vibes with fun takes on various vegetable dishes for your party menu. For your desserts, leave them out of the ingredients and focus on the presentation instead.
Keep it garden fresh
Veggie trays are an easy choice for a Peter Rabbit theme. But skip the tray and find a unique way to serve them, like breaking them into individual portions in flower pots or bread cups.
You can also cook up some bite-sized appetizers and use vegetable garnishes and themed toppers. Mini sandwiches and crostinis would be perfect for a baby shower brunch or spring tea party!
Hide the sweets
Make your desserts part of the decor with clever themed creations. Dirt pudding cups are perfect for this, and you can even top them with chocolate-covered strawberries decorated to look like carrots.
Not everyone loves radishes as much as Peter Rabbit, so you may not include them in your snack spread. Instead, make some cake pops that look like radishes! Only these are way more delicious.
Peter Rabbit Party Entertainment
Your guest list will probably have a lot of little ones needing something to keep them busy and entertained. Plan crafts, games, activities, and even live entertainment.
Gather for storytime
Hire a professional storyteller who can bring the beloved Peter Rabbit story to life. Hear all your favorite characters like Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, Benjamin Bunny, and Peter himself!
For something more interactive, find a puppet show that can perform your favorite Peter Rabbit tales. If they can’t do that story specifically, perhaps they can introduce the little ones to a whole new cast of lively characters — hopefully keeping the animal or garden theme!
Cuddle with some-bunny
Who wouldn’t love to cuddle a real bunny at a Peter Rabbit party or bunny birthday party? Hire a local petting zoo to provide some fuzzy pals for your celebration.
Of course, the Peter Rabbit story has more than just rabbits in it. See if your petting zoo company has some of your other favorites, like ducks, foxes, squirrels, or hedgehogs!
