Hot Dog! We had a party and you're all invited!
We celebrated with Minnie, but all these ideas could easily be changed to fit any theme. I fell in love with the red polka dots and minnie ears and used them on everything.
A birthday outfit is a small touch that can make anyone feel extra special. Kate cried when it was pried off to go in the wash.
What party is complete without a pinata? All I needed was a Huggies box, a roll of crepe paper, tape and glue. No messy paper-mache or waiting days for it to dry.
Mouse hands were made for the kids to wear while hitting the pinata.
Such Joy!
Of course we needed goodie bags for all the loot.

Kate's favorite part of the party was dancing to Mickey's Clubhouse songs with a floor covered in balloons.
HERE is a list of parties I link to
So many great ideas wrapped in one post! I had to smile when you described prying off the birthday outfit for washing. I've been there before! Fantastic job. Most importantly, your daughter obviously loved it.
ReplyDeleteTalk about cute! I love all the details...the goody bags are esp. adorable, love the CAKE! That last pic is sooo sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet party. I love how each aspect fit the theme. Too cute.
