Calling all L.O.L. Surprise™ Doll lovers! If you have a child (like mine) that is obsessed with these adorable dolls, their little sisters and even their pets, this party will not disappoint. L.O.L Surprise Dolls are cute, collectible and make for a darling party theme. From an L.O.L Bow Crafting Station to yummy No Bake Chocolate Surprise Treats, your little guests will have a blast at this colorful and fun L.O.L Surprise Dolls party!
My daughter has been pleading for a L.O.L Surprise doll party for some time now and it is one party I've been looking forward to putting together! Why? Well my daughter and her friends go crazy over these tiny, and ever so sassy little toys with the cute faces and even cuter outfits. I have to admit, I am pretty obsessed with them too. They beg to be displayed and make the perfect table centerpieces.
The Table
Line up a selection of L.O.L dolls down the middle of the table on their own stands. These DIY LOL Surprise Doll Display Stands are the perfect size and can be used to display the dolls in your child's room after the party. Learn how to make your own Doll Stands HERE.
The Place Settings
Use a Light Pink Square Paper Dinner Plate as a simple charger for the L.O.L. Surprise Paper Dinner Plates. These plates are adorable paired with an L.O.L Surprise Beverage Napkin and Premium Metallic Gold Cutlery.
At each setting place an L.O.L. Surprise Tumbler with Candy and a pair of L.O.L. Surprise Pinhole Glasses for your party guests. The girls absolutely loved these items! After eating the gummies inside the tumblers, they filled them up with their favorite juice to sip on throughout the party.
The Dessert & Snack Station
Tip: Pick up L.O.L display stands and boxes from local toy stores. These make great decorations for your dessert table! Either place them inside an acrylic stand or place weights (e.g. books) inside to make them strong enough to hold your cake stand.
You can also use your child's L.O.L dolls and the doll packaging as quick and easy cake toppers. Just add gum paste to the bottom of the toys or packaging to make sure they are food safe.
Light Blue Fringe Paper Streamers and Light Pink Fringe Paper Streamers make a high impact, low cost backdrop. Better yet, they tie in perfectly with the colors of the L.O.L packaging. Add the L.O.L. Surprise Happy Birthday Jointed Banner across the center of the backdrop to complete the look.
Tip: Tape the streamer to the top of the wall then twist the streamer and tape to the floor to retain the twist in the streamer.
I used a bar cart to display snacks and favors. Again, packaging and dolls make great decor as do these DIY LOL Surprise Doll Display Stands. Place extra straws (or favors) in an L.O.L. Surprise Plastic Favor Cup that guests can take home after the party.
L.O.L little sisters and pets make a great favor and can be displayed on a White Ceramic Cake Stand.
For a sweet treat serve up No-Bake Chocolate Surprise Ball Treats on a White Scalloped Charger.These tasty treats have a surprise caramel ball inside that the kids are sure to love. Find out how to make the No-Bake Surprise Ball Treats HERE.
Popcorn is always a crowd pleaser at kids' parties. Mini Striped Candy Pink & White Popcorn Boxes fit with the L.O.L packaging perfectly! Add extra L.O.L Surprise Paper Dessert Plates to serve cake and decorate with the mini L.O.L. Surprise Decor Kit stand-ups.
Party Craft Activities
A lot of the L.O.L dolls wear large floppy bows, so obviously this trend is incredibly popular with my daughter and her friends. This LOL Bow Crafting Station was a hit at the party and kept all of the guests busy. Decorate your craft station with the remaining streamers and the L.O.L. Surprise Decor Kit.
Add L.O.L. Surprise Mylar Balloons tied with Bright Pink Single Faced Satin Ribbon.
Have fun with hashtags on letter board signage. If you don't have L.O.L packaging boxes you can use a White with Gold Glitter Lid Card Box to set your letter board on so it has some added height on the table. Cut up an L.O.L. Surprise Plastic Tablecloth to cover the box lid.

Use a Clear Donut Serving Stand to hold L.O.L Surprise Goody Bags. Guests can use these to take home their bows and other goodies.
#SwapMe
The L.O.L Surprise dolls have released several "series" since they came out such as Glitter, Bling, Makeover and the latest, Hairspray. Trading L.O.L. Surprise dolls is now one of the hottest activities with the kids. They all came to the party with checklists and had their dolls ready to trade.
Create a backdrop using your child's trading cards, yes there are trading cards too! The kids love discussing which ones they have and those they just have to have..."so adorable"!
Use a small table and lay a Pink/White Striped Plastic Tablecloth Roll on top. Add a chair on each side to facilitate trading. A Black Letter Board Kit works perfect as signage for the trading station. The L.O.L. Surprise Decor Kit is all you need to decorate.
Now let's set the table up to trade! A Clear Treat Stand with Holes works perfectly to display the dolls for the two traders. To avoid any confusion or mistaken pick-ups I gave each guest Clear Cylinder Boxes for their dolls and stickers with their names on them. They labeled the boxes and were then able to place their dolls inside, swapping the dolls out when they traded.
Accessory trading is also big. Use a Long White Platter to display wigs, bags and glasses. I used Mini Clear Appetizer Plastic Bowls to hold shoes and mugs.
The trading station was a huge hit and there was a constant line-up to be next at the trading table. It was so fun to watch the mini negotiations take place!
