What I love about the Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star collection at Target (other than the colors and the fact that it includes a mini star piñata) is that the Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star collection doesn’t have any wording on the plates or napkins, so you can use the decorations for a variety of party themes.
The Twinkle Twinkle Little Star party supplies would be perfect for, baby showers, first birthdays, bridal showers, baptisms and graduation parties.
You could also incorporate the Target Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star decorations into an astronomy, Cinderella, or princess-themed party.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Party Decorations
Below I’ve listed out a few of my favorites from the Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Target collection.
Mini gold star piñata. I love these mini gold star piñatas! Fill them with goodies and hand them out as party favors or could also fill the stars with rocks, tie on balloons and use them as a centerpiece. You could even just place them on a dessert table as a fun decoration!
Star Plates. I love the look of the mini gold stars against the night’s sky. They remind me of the Griffith Observatory from La La Land, one of my favorite movies.
Star Balloons: I love balloons in all shapes, sizes and assembly styles. These balloons are perfect to be filled with helium or they can be blown up with air and strung on a balloon garland strip. Balloon arches and garlands can seem intimidating but in actuality, they could not be more simple to make!
Gold Striped paper cups: These striped cups are great not only for drinks but to place treats and snacks in. A great option would be to place dressing or peanut butter at the bottom and then fill with veggie sticks or apples slices. Having a snack ready to go in a cup makes it so easy for your guest, especially at kids parties.
