Minnie Mouse First Birthday Party

Minnie Mouse First Birthday Party

We simply adore a classic girly party, and nothing says timeless and feminine like the one and only Minnie Mouse! We knew we wanted our party to be a modern and sweet tribute to this iconic character that is beloved by all, young and old. Drawing inspiration from Minnie's favorite polka dots and pink bows, we added chic and contemporary elements with silhouette detailing, adorable sweets and treats and modern marquee signage. This sweet and sassy party is perfect for kids (and adults) of all ages and you can create the look at home with our fun tips, tricks and some darling party supplies!

The Table:

We chose a pink and black color palette for a more modern and softer approach as compared to the classic Minnie Mouse red. We of course brought in plenty of polka dots to keep some traditional elements of Minnie's appearance.

Our table was draped with a light pink table cloth and a table runner was created by trimming a 16" wide portion of a polka dot paper roll that we used for our backdrop. These colors together set the tone for the entire event.

The Place Settings:

We wanted to steer clear of any cartoon inspired imagery and stuck with a more contemporary look for our place setting using Minnie Mouse inspired silhouettes throughout the decor, including our DIY Minnie Mouse Party Plates.

We made our custom Minnie Mouse plates to achieve the perfect look. We created this adorable plate by layering different sized plates, creating adorable ears and of course, adding Minnie's classic satin bow! Pink dinner plates were layered with black dessert plates to achieve this look. Ears were created using black scrapbook paper and we tied a classic Minnie Mouse bow using some pink satin ribbon.

The Minnie plates rested upon a black and white polka dot napkin to really pop again the pink tablecloth. These plates are so easy and inexpensive to create and your guests will be wowed with these chic plates.

Pink and Black Minnie Mouse Birthday Party Ideas and Minnie Mouse Cupcakes

We wanted to add a little something special to each place setting, so we whipped up some darling Minnie Mouse cupcakes by adding a heaping swirl of icing to our boxed cupcakes, 2 petite Oreo ears, a simple pink fondant bow and some gorgeous sparking sprinkles from our friends at Bakery Bling. Lastly, we dressed up cupcakes up with a gorgeous laser cut pink cupcake wrapper.

Don't forget to include color coordinating utensils at each place setting! We kept our cutlery simple by layering our light pink utensil with our matching paper products.

The Drinks:

Each place setting also had adorable glass milk bottles brimming with ice-cold milk, which paired perfectly with our sweets!

We wanted to add some themed detailing to our glass milk bottles so we layered black and white polka dot ribbon atop of a thicker pink satin ribbon. We then used hole punches to create our very own Minnie Mouse silhouettes and secured them to the front with a dot of hot glue. Lastly, a black and white polka dot straw completed the look!

The Favors:

The Backdrop:

We layered our wall in black and white polka dot paper to set the scene. We wanted to carry the floral elements to our sweets buffet, so we create a Minnie Mouse silhouette out of pink roses from a pomander ball and added a polka dot bow which we designed out of a spare polka dot napkin. The silhouette was then framed out in a white frame cutout.

The Dessert Buffet:
