Can You Help: Circus Party

(party set from LePoppyDesigns on etsy my sister really likes this for inspiration)
So Lanna's 2nd birthday is coming up and we've decided on a Circus Party theme. So far we're planning on doing a back yard party with a few fun stations.

(I adore these cupcakes from the vintage circus party post on TomKatStudio's Blog she has a bunch of cute ideas there too)

Here are the ideas so far

• 'fishing' magnet in a pool type of games
• bean bag throw into a hula hoop something or other 
• craft table where kiddos can make masks and possibly noise makers that they can wear for a Circus parade
• marshmallows dipped in chocolate and sprinkles on lollipop sticks
• cotton candy

I'm trying to talk Uncle (my hubby) into wearing his tiger costume -or at least the hat part- and letting Lanna be the Tiger tamer. In fact she's already told him to be a good tiger and waved a strip of fabric at him like it's a whip so she's be game if we can talk him into it haha.

We'll definitely make decorations and other stuff stuff, I love the idea of banners, and game stations and table decorations. Do you guys have any tips? Details that may add that little specialness? Suggestions? They'll probably be little kids like 4 and under and adults.
