Mickey Mouse Birthday

So if you've read my earlier post about Make-a-Wish, then you know that G is TOTALLY into Mickey Mouse right now!  He's been asking for a Mickey Mouse party since July.  We'll it's finally here!  His birthday!  We are celebrating all out in Mickey Style this year!  He's turning 6 (can't believe he's that old) and ultimately we will be celebrating in Disney World for his actual birthday thanks to MAW!!

So here's the invite for his big party:

For the decorations, I decided to stick with the easy theme of the 3 colors, red, black and yellow.  All of the decor I found at the Dollar Tree or Walmart in the party section. I didn't spend more than $1 on anything (except the printing) and I think it turned out great!  So without further ado...

Here are some of the decorations:

The dining table

This is just made of tissue paper and cardstock for the ears.

Cute little centerpieces using Dollar Tree items!

The birthday mantle

Since it was a party for a boy, my husband wouldn't let me put up many of these pom pom balls, but this was our compromise. As long as they had Mickey Ears and were kept to a minimum. :)

The subway art that I created! Of course, his name has been blocked out.

I hung all of these streamers on our ceiling for fun! :) I definitely got a work out on this one.

The birthday banner and throne.

Complete with Mickey balloons of course!

You can find a printable of the template for this banner here.  I had to add the letters in word since I don't have a fancy cutter thing like the blogger does.  It worked out great though!

For an activity, I found this 10 ft coloring banner.  We taped it to our coffee table and set out some crayons.  The kids loved it!

He's very excited about the coloring!

The Front Door Welcome Sign...yes, that is snow in our front yard. Sadly, it's melting, but looked pretty for a little while at least.

I created this sign too for our front door! The basics of it came from this free printable!

Party hats...that the kids did not want to wear, but they were cute nonetheless.

Favors.  Each cup (from Walmart) is loaded with a set of stickers and a tattoo.

Alas, what party wouldn't be complete without food!

The spread

  This was a big hit...everyone loved the play on words.

 This was a spreadable cheese dip thing that I found a the grocery store.  So yummy.

This was my favorite...Cheese and Quackers. :)

Nothing says Mickey Mouse Party like Star Wars plates. :)  We actually have a case of these that were given to us, so they are used for EVERY party. :)

My Birthday Boy!

I can't believe he's almost 6!

Blowing out the candles.

It was a good party. I hope you enjoyed the decorations!

Toy Story Birthday Party

To Infinity and Beyond!!

My youngest is turning 3 on Friday, December 21 (I know...the end of the world).  But we had his birthday party last Saturday.  He asked for a Toy Story theme (or Buzz/Woody party) for his party, so I decided to go all out!  He dressed up in in his Woody costume and we had a Rootin', Tootin' Good Time!  Check out some of the details pictured below!

My Birthday Boy!

This is a free printable banner that you can find here on this blog.  There are a lot of other great Toy Story Printables that you might see in other photos. :)

I retouched the picture to blur his name...it didn't really look this messy. :)

I saw this Subway art on another blog and decided to make my own! So cute. This went on the gift table as you can tell by the previous picture.

 

 The Army men were joining the party via zip line. There were 3 different stations they were watching over. Gifts, Food and Kids.

 

The table where the tots ate food

 

M constantly is telling me how "Buzz holds Woody" in the last part of the movie, so I thought this would be a cute thing for him to see.  He was REALLY excited and again, kept telling me how "Buzz holds Woody!!"

I recreated the logo of the Toy Story 3 logo to incorporate M's name!  This logo was on the invitations and the thank you cards and a few other places.  I decided it would be cute to have Buzz hold a sign with the logo as well on the food table.  Kind of a "Man on Mars staking his territory."

Again, the army men...

I printed these pictures from Over the Big Moon.  You can print these for free here.

 

The food table.  Pre-food.

Oooooh, the CLAW!!

This backdrop (along will all of the backdrops) is just a Dollar Store Table cloth!  It covered over the kid's artwork and really transformed the space for the party!

The characters were cupcake toppers that I printed from the same website as above.  I made the space ships to match the movie's Pizza Planet and put their pictures on the ships.  I think it really added a great finishing touch to the backdrop.

 There are those Army men again. They were a big hit with everyone!

 

This was M's cake.  Dark Chocolate cake mix, Mint Chocolate Frosting (the new mix your own kind!), Mentos, Sour Straws, Green Gumdrops cut in half and some black food gel! They turned out great and M was so excited about them!

 

They were stationed under the CLAW of course! :)

 

The toy blocks spelled out a special birthday message.

We got these Buzz & Woody Potato Heads last year for Christmas.  There's Ham too!

 

I hope you enjoyed my little Toy Story Birthday Party!  Stay Tuned for some cute pictures of M and his friends at the party!  They all had a great time!

 

Now on to G's Mickey Mouse Themed Birthday!! :)
