Party Recap
My daughter, Lily, loves Doc McStuffin's! She asked to have it at the park so that's what we did. I did all the decor, crafts, & food myself. I focused mainly on pink & purple. I was lucky to find a lot of cute hearts that tied into the party since it was close to Valentine's day.
Party Highlights
-
Best Moment
The best moment was all the kids playing the check up game! They were all bandaging up their toys and LOVING it! They were all so cute!
-
Funniest Moment
My daughter ran away from her cake because she was embarrassed that everyone was looking at her!
-
Most Touching Moment
Was when my daughter immediately put on the Stompeez that her Nana bought for her! She was so happy with the gift!
-
Best Dressed
My little one, of course! She was in a handmade dress from BBCB Boutique (on Etsy & Ebay). We love the dress!
-
Desserts
Cake!

Party Favors
I made Doc McStuffin's doctor bag for each child. Inside I made a big book of boo-boo's (I bought tiny composition books at Walmart, covered them with purple felt, and added a sparkly pink heart. Sparkly paper was found at hobby lobby) There was also a pack of tissues, band-aids, handmade hospital bracelet (with each child's name on it), a hospital bracelet for their toy, and a doctor rubber ducky (found on oriental trading)
-
Activities / Games
We played "Time for your check-up" and we had a coloring activity. We also had balls, jump ropes, and a playground for the kids to play on.
-
Budget
Budget?? haha I tried to keep track at the beginning but I soon fell off the wagon. I think we spent somewhere near $900-$1,000 for this party. That is including the outfit, all the crafts, decorations, activities, etc.
-
What People Ate
We had a lot of sweet treats! There was cake, cupcakes, wafer sticks, band-aid cookies (sugar wafers w/ chocolate hearts), apples, chocolate kisses, chips, cheez-it party mix, gumballs, strawberries, grapes, chocolate pretzels.
-
What People Drank
Juicy juice for the kids. We got the fruit punch & grape flavor to keep with the color theme. For the adults we had pink & purple gatorade, and strawberry & grape soda. We also had water.

Love the party! I was thinking about making gable boxes similar to these? Where did you order your boxes? I see them on Oriental Trading, but wasn't sure about the size.

Did you buy them with the pink glitter on them or did you do it yourself?

Hi Carla, I bought this dress from a boutique that sells on Ebay. I believe it was called Blue Birds Boutique.

I bought the purple boxes from orientaltrading.com and then I bought pink glitter paper from Hobby Lobby. I think it was around $1.00 per sheet. I traced the top of the box and then I used that as my template to cut out the glitter tops. I used hot glue to attach them to the gable boxes. The band aids are made from tan foam sheets (also purchased at Hobby Lobby) and I cut hearts out of the leftover pink glitter paper. Everything is hot glued to the gable boxes. Good luck with your parties!! :)

I bought the tiny pink boxes and the pink/purple snack cups from www.orientaltrading.com. They have tons of party supplies for great prices! I also bought the table runner (white/pink polka dot) from there. I bought the glass jar from the dollar store. The ribbon on the boxes is from walmart ($.50 per roll) and I found the purple hearts in the dollar section at Target. Good luck with your party!

Handmade wrapping paper made by wrapping the gift in white wrapping paper and then printing large characters & a quote. This was a hit!

I bought a personalized printable from etsy then I printed them on cardstock, cut them out, glued a tooth pick to them. :)

Thank you, Renee!! I used melting chocolate and M&M's on the pretzels. You can buy the colored chocolate at pretty much any craft store. I put the melting chocolate on top of the pretzels (grid type pretzels) and then I put them in the oven for 2 minutes on 350 degrees. Take them out and while the melting chocolate disk is still soft place a M&M on top. Let them cool and then you can store them in a big ziplock bag until you are ready to display them. Beware...these are SOOO yummy and super addictive! My guests were in love with them!
