Sara Cate's Pony-tastic Party!

For my daughter's 3rd birthday party, she chose a My Little Pony theme. I decided to simplify the color scheme with pinks and purples... colors that are ubiquitous in Ponyville. We did a big food table/candy buffet with color coordinated food. I even chose the fruit to match! Candy-covered oreos, ham-and-cheese pinwheels, and Pinkie Pie-rate Booty rounded out the snacks. The candy buffet featured gumballs, candy sticks, taffy, M&Ms, rock candy and lollipops to match.

Decorations were a custom "Happy Birthday" banner, which matched all the other graphics for the party. I also decorated with pink and purple tissue paper pom poms. Custom floral arrangements were made with silk flowers, chenille stem swirls, lollipops, and floral picks that I made with the same graphic designs.

Kids could participate in 4 activities: Decorate your own pony, coloring corner, Rarity's hoof decorating parlor, and friendship bracelets.
