This BARBIE ICE CREAM SHOP FOURTH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Mariana Zago of Mariana Zago Party Design is absolutely adorable! What a fun twist on your regular ice cream party- add Barbie to the mix! Love it!
Mariana said this about planning the party- “When my client asked for a Barbie themed party for her 4 year old, she wanted me to do the same dessert table I had done a month ago for her best friend’s daughter. I felt that the little birthday girl deserved something completely original and custom made just for her! That’s why I had to come up with different Barbie themed alternatives. The theme she most liked was the “Barbie Ice Cream Shop”. I loved the opportunity to create a french-style shop, adding a Barbie glamourous look to it!
Our chef, Riki Carolei, and I made and decorated all the sweets making them ice cream shaped. The party favors were these cute cupcake/ice-cream jars, filled with m&ms for the kids.”

This RETRO 70′S BARBIE CAMPING 6TH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Maria Davis of Love & Sugar Kisses is absolutely darling! What a creative twist on your regular camping themed celebration! I adore the vintage barbie touches…take a look at the darling barbie camper van cookies & boxes, for example!
Maria said- “My party theme was a 70′s Vintage Barbie Camping Party! The inspiration for the party was the 1971 Barbie Camper, which I found on ebay. I wanted to evoke the spirit of the 70′s by using colorful and girly fabrics throughout the party and used bright pink, aquas green, yellow & orange as my colors. I used feathers in several of my decorations and made 70′s style feather hair clips for all the girls. I used some touches of nature like twigs for the frames, pine cones and a tree stump cake stand. But I added some Barbie sparkle to them as well!
Piggy Bank Parties created all the beautiful printable products including the amazing favor boxes which were detailed replicas of the Barbie Camper! Inside each camper were Barbie stickers & bottlecap necklaces.
We had several party activities. We began with a nature walk and each girl was given a decorated clipboard with items to look for, an embellished canteen, and backpack. After lunch we sat around our faux fire and sang campfire songs. Then we went back outside for a s’mores relay race. The girls were divided into teams and had to assemble s’mores using large pillows and graham crackers & chocolate bars made from foam board. It was a hilarious site and they had a blast!
The dessert table included cake, designer Oreos & s’mores on a stick all made by me. Beautiful cookies designed to look like the Barbie camper were made by Bambella Cookie Boutique. Delicious cake pops in the bright party colors and decorated with feathers were made by Cuter than Cake. We served camp-style hot dogs & chips for lunch along with a 70s favorite soda, Nehi! In addition to their camping supplies, each guest received a bag of trail mix & bubbles along with their camper favor box!
The pictures were taken by my amazingly talented friend Wendy of Wendy Updegraff Photography whose photos are always gorgeous!”

Any little girl would just squeal with delight at the sight of this {okay, I’ll admit…I even squealed}!
Gwynn tried to think about what makes Barbie so special to little girls and realized that it is that wonderful element of make believe. She wanted the girls at the party to be able to pretend that they really were Barbie. She created a dessert table to capture the children’s imagination just as Barbie does…& designed it as though it was actually a place in Barbie’s house.
This printable party collection is available in Gwynn’s shop here!
