Minnie Mouse

I combined the theme with polka dots seeing that Minnie’s skirt has polka dots on it.

Megan (birthday girl) will be the only one with a pink shirt to look just like Minnie.

Made Minnie and Mickey mouse stands so that we can take a picture of each kid at the theme boards.



I made little skirts for each girl and asked the Mommy's to make sure all the kids has white shirts on.

The cake was in the shape of Mickey Mouse

I made centre pieces out of polystyrene balls and alls made small Minnie/Mickey mouse heads for the party packs.

I made these chocolate "Thank you"

I really enjoyed every moment of it and the girls loved their skirts.

Pretty in Pink - 1 year

I was really keen to throw a special party for my one year old. Everyone warned me not to, seeing as she was too young to remember the event. These warnings made me think of a theme that would last, if not in her memory, then at least in her photo album. We decided to arrange a Pretty in Pink photo shoot.

The guests (all girls) received an invite that said: "You're invited to E's Pretty in Pink Party. Come prepared to play and pose." 

We set up a "studio" corner in the lounge which we draped with pink gingham, and added assorted pink props to. Upon arrival, each little pink princess was photographed in the "studio", and not only did this picture get put in my daughter's album, but a copy was sent to the guest as a "Thank you" memory.

I chose mostly pink foods. Strawberry jelly, pink-coloured custard slices, pink and white marshmallows, strawberry-milkshake Budoir biscuits, Ghost Pops, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and vienna and gouda cheese mini kebabs.

There were a variety of toys set out for the babies to play with (mostly pink), but the highlight was a huge tub of cooked pink spaghetti that provided plenty entertainment for some curious fingers (an activity suggested to me by an occupationel therapist friend of mine).
