Idea

Party Highlights

  • Desserts

    My mom made mickey shaped cookies.I made the Oreos with mini oreos to look like Mickey and we had strawberry cake.

  • Party Favors

    I decorated a gable box with Mickey ears n pants w/ buttons. It had a personalized Hershey bar, a large lollipop, marker, pens, kazoo, blowout, and lots of candy.

  • Activities / Games

    We had a balloon artist, a face painter, a Ferris Wheel, and Mickey Mouse!

  • Budget

    Budget!?!? LOl!

  • What People Ate

    I didn't want to cook or prepare anything the day of the party so we had Taco catering which worked out perfect. They had 5 different kinds of meat. Everyone said they enjoyed it very much.

  • What People Drank

    We had Water,Pepsi,Sprite,Coke,and Punch.

  • Best Moment

    The best moment was just seeing Mason enjoy himself. He rode the Ferris wheel a few times and loved it. He let them paint his nose n get whiskers. The only bad moment or time he cried was when he saw the Mickey character and I can't blame my baby he was kinda of scary! LOL!

  • Funniest Moment

    The funniest moment was Mason's face after he got his nose, whiskers, n ears. He had the biggest smile... It was too cute!

  • Best Dressed

    Mason! My husband was a good sport n wore the same shirt as Mason. :)

    Entertainment

    The Ferris Wheel was a big hit! Although it's meant for 8 and under it was still great. My 10yr and her friends were a bit too tall.http://Jammin-jumpers.com

    Hi Martha, It was a prop from my old job they were getting rid of. I brought it home knowing I would find use for it. So every time I use it I spray paint it the color I want. Thank you!

    Where did you get the card board cut outs of the characters that are set up in the yard? Also, what did you use to decorate the punch bowel?

  • Veronica  P

    Veronica P wrote:

    Hi Kristen, I bought the cardboard cutouts online. I just searched who had them the cheapest and would order from there. For the punch dispenser I used cardboard and just cut out circles n wrapped them with black wrapping paper and did the same with the top of the lid used black wrapping paper.
