Minnie Mouse Party

Finally my youngest is REALLY into something. She like Dora ok for her third party, and her second and first weren't really anything cause she wasn't into anything. But now she is turning four and she LOVES Minnie Mouse.....so let's do this!

First was the store bought Minnie for the front door and the "put the ring on Minnie" game.

The number 4 Minnie Head

The food table!! I love it! My very talented SIL made the table skirt and the Happy Birthday banner! It was so adorable!!

I made the popcorn boxes out of card stock and cut out minnie heads for the boxes.

The treat cups were heavy duty black cupcake liners with a pink bow glued on. They are filled with pink hershey kisses.

These are dipped oreos on a stick, bagged and wrapped with pink ribbon. The holder is a block of styrofoam covered in stock paper and minnie head affixed to it. Then shredded black tissue paper filled it in so you couldn't see the styrofoam. The stick were just pushed into the styrofoam.

Cupcakes from a local bakery and I made the cupcake stand out of styrofoam rounds and blocks covered with black and pink and white cardstock. 

Hanging from the ceiling were pink, white and black pom poms. On the black pom poms I added ears and a pink bow. They turned out cute! Random minnie heads and bows are everywhere. Even the TV is wearing a bow.

Found these at Target for a dollar each. I just put name tags on them. 

I drew and colored a minnie on foam board and cut out the face for the kids to take pics. It was fun and we got some cute pics. Drew a  "you look fabulous" sign (since I hear minnie say that over and over and over on my kids minnie camera)!

The best part in my opinion was the Minnie Bow-tique wall. This is just three pieces of poster board put together, computer  made sign, and trimmed in black and bows. I drew out lines of bows all over the board and had a box of crayons and colored pencils for the guests to design their own bows.

The had a blast!

Brave Party

This was a fun one....So much stuff to chose from. It felt as exciting as the Willy Wonka party to me! Here's what I did!!

The table was store bought stuff. The movie is so quotable, so I added quotes here and there. 

The blue and green pom pom hung from the ceiling. Along with willow the wisps, and targets for arrows. The targets were made with brown card stock and I just painted on the targets. The willow the wisps were made by stuffing tissue into a square of blue cellophane, tying with a string and cutting strips in the bottom. 

This is a "tapestry" I painted on a cross-stitching fabric. I just drew it on and painted it in. Above is the "fate be changed" quote from the movie. I also cut the tapestry between Merida and Elenor and sewed it back up. There are some willow the wisps up closer in this pic too. They were floating around everywhere.

For the front door I painted a pic with the "change your fate" quote from the movie and a shadow of Merida. Used the colors turquoise and purple with a gold ribbon hanger.

This was the best part that my daughter loved. I bought this cardboard stand up of Merida and Angus used for 10 bucks on ebay. Then I just use some roll out craft paper and drew a crafty carver and painted it. The willow the wisps are there to lead Merida to the witch.

Close up of the crafty corner with the witch looking out the window. 

was my daughters second favorite part. The cave of Mordu. This is just a coffee table wrapped with brown rolled paper and the inside lined with black paper. Made the mordu sign on the computer. You can't see this in the picture but inside were two glowing eyes of Mordu. I did that by poking two battery operated tea lights through the black paper and taped it to the back. The kids loved it. 

And of course since the movie talks about a little magic, we had to have a magic show. Good thing my husband is a magician...so that worked out!

Dora Party

This party was for my little girl that was turning 3! Here is what I did.....

This one was kept pretty simple. Since there was a LOT of dora stuff in the store I utilized some of that to save time. I made pom poms like I do for every party. And put up a dora backdrop to take pics in front of in the corner.

Happy birthday sign in spanish and of course Dora was on TV.

And then I just put Dora characters that I drew and colored along with dozens of "estrellas" all over the rest of the party space.
