Invite the little guests to make their own rainbow bead necklace or bracelet to take home as the favor.

Check your local area for horse trainers that do birthday parties. Many will dress a horse up like a unicorn and bring him to your party for an extra special surprise.

Why not offer a glam station where the little guests can have their hair highlighted with fun colors and get a glitter tattoo? Maybe even offer special unicorn horn hats instead of the traditional party hats.
