R's 1st Birthday Bash - Mickey Mouse Style!

Because of my kid's crazy love obsession with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and because H informed me that R NEEDED a Minnie Mouse party, we decided to go with it! I thought it would be cute and fun! I started thinking about what I wanted to do (and of course got some ideas from pinterest), but had to quickly throw the party together a few days beforehand once I realized my side of the family was going to be out of town for a few weeks (and the Sunday they would be back would be Superbowl Sunday...and we didn't want to compete with that!) So I got online and found the invitation I wanted to recreate...and then, came across this AMAZING, super generous, kind lady who had a free template and free Disney font: FREE Minnie Mouse Invite Template & Disney Font

The finished invite! The ribbons are smaller than I would have liked but it's what I had on hand (so free!) I know it's hard to see but the Disney font is adorable! And we went with "pink Minnie" to make Mickey Mouse Clubhouse a little more girly! :) These invites were almost all hand-delivered because really, how DO you mail stuff like this?!

The birthday outfit!

Mickey and Minnie cupcakes! Pink icing for Minnies and white icing for the Mickeys.
Tip: do NOT put the Oreos on the cupcakes the night before or they will be soggy the next day.

Decorations: Each table had a different theme. There was a coloring table (with a bucket of crayons and MMC-themed pages), a dress-up/ Minnie's Bowtique table (with my sister painting nails, plastic jewelry and boas), and a play-dough table (with homemade pink sparkly play-dough and a ton of cookie cutters)!


My brother made a giant Mickey Mouse head cutout to play "Pin the bow on Minnie"! We printed out a bunch of bows, let each kid color and decorate their bow, and then, played! We let the little ones walk up and put it on, but the older kids had to use a blindfold!
