Decorating For a Monkey Party

2. Make simple jungle trees by filling green balloons with helium. Tie with brown or black curling ribbon and attach to a base. Guests can walk through these balloon trees to enhance the jungle feel.
3. Populate your jungle with inflatable monkeys. These can be bought by the dozen at party supply sites. Using one jumbo monkey at the entrance can wow your guests. Later, these inflatables can become party favors for the guests.
