Minnie Mouse Party Details

Like I stated in the birthday party post, I went the easy route. I chose not to design an invite and have Justin create it, order it, find matching envelopes, and mail a ton of invites. Which is what I have done in the past. Exhausting. Expensive. I went on Etsy, found a package of printables I liked. Paid $25 for the package, and then printed it off. The invite I actually just imbedded in an email and emailed it. Easy and free =) The printables were less stressful when all I had to do was the cutting and punching out, and not the making. Im pretty sure I spent less money doing it this way. Here is the shop I used: http://www.etsy.com/people/CupcakeExpress


Another easy thing. I did NOT make the cupcakes or cake. All I made were the kabobs and the pb and j's, and then cut those out with a Mickey Mouse cutter. I don't think a Minnie one exists so Mickey did the job!


I bought a piece of black poster board, like .49 I think. It made two big Minnie's and one little one. 

I also got Kennedy's dress off Etsy. For the party I wish it was just black and red and white, but at Disney I liked having the yellow in there. I know it doesn't even really matter, but I just like everything to match! when I pick a color scheme I like to adhere very closely =/



The day before the party I was at Target and saw this soap. I couldn't believe how fun it was and I HAD to have it in the bathroom for our party guests!


Favors. I actually had boxes left over from her party last year and just peeled off the stickers and put the new ones on. I did run out of boxes though and used the stickers to secure favor candy in baggies.


About a week before the party I saw this little gal on Pinterest. So easy and fun to make. Its three styrofoam balls, a can of black spray paint, and a dowel. I had a pot and a little bucket and used those to put it all in. I just stuck some cupcake toppers in there to add a little more to it. Oh, and whipped up a couple bows with some left over ribbon I had. And I adore that picture of K with Minnie. Such a sweet moment =)


So there are my party details. Not that you care, but in case you did =)
