Mickey Mouse Birthday Brunch Party

This adorable MICKEY MOUSE BIRTHDAY BRUNCH PARTY was submitted by Ana Carolina! All the Mickey Mouse party ideas & elements are absolutely darling! If you’re planning a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party then here is the place to be!

Ana said this about planning the party- “I love shopping for party and craft supplies and I am always amazed by all the incredible parties that I see everywhere. I gave myself a little challenge for this party decoration, because I would like put a standard theme, as Mickey is, in a unique and vintage style. I did this by adding small touches of tulles, lace, scraps and fabric flower yo yos. I would like to put a personal touch in his Mickey brunch and pretty much everything was handmade by me or for a friend/family, with love.”

Elf on the Shelf North Pole Breakfast

Comment

What a darling idea! Host an ELF ON THE SHELF NORTH POLE BREAKFAST PARTY! This adorable idea was submitted by Kylie Jenkins of Made by a Princess Parties in Style.

Kylie said this about planning the party- “Do you have an Elf on the Shelf? We have two now…Icicle who watches over my son Glenn and Snowy who keeps an eye on my daughter Megan. This year we hosted a North Pole Breakfast the day after Thanksgiving to kick this Christmas season off right!

Our elves came with lots of fun stuff this year…their own North Pole, gingerbread houses (which I am sure they will hide in eventually), goodies, wish lists, Emergency Elf Dust, candy cane placecard holders, books, countdown to Christmas…boy, those elves were sure busy. Did I ever mention I’m actually a vampire and never sleep?!

I found mini lunch boxes at Dollar Tree and filled them with special elf food to share: Elf Pillows, Snowballs, and Reindeer Poop. Each packet has an original poem (won’t find them anywhere else!) on the back of the candy topper.

I anticipate a little elf handling with my 19 month old so I came up with the perfect magical solution…Emergency Elf Dust! This is another original poem you won’t find anywhere else. The tiny little vials actually held saffron. I knew I kept those cute little things for a reason!

The little North Pole in the background was made out of a solar light, styrofoam circle, & “snow” blanket from the Dollar Tree. I glued gold spray painted flat dowels to the pole and attached the sign with gold ribbon. I saw this on Apartment Therapy and knew I had to do one myself. I also bought a bunch of Santa hats last month at the Dollar Tree…super inexpensive and easy window valance!

I attempted cookie cutter pancakes but need a little more practice. Oh well, at least they tasted good! The Magical Scout Elf printables are available in my store.”

Breakfast Meet & Eat Baby Shower

This weekends party feature goes to this super clever BREAKFAST MEET & EAT BABY SHOWER submitted by Nicole Gould of Million Dollar Smile Celebrations! Love it! Instead of a “Sip & See” Nicole planned a wonderful alternative. I love all the doughnuts, cereal & “morning newspapers”. Look at the felt doughnuts on the door wreath! Everything is just so cute.

Here is what Nicole said about the party- “We’ve all heard of the Sip & See… Now introducing the Meet & Eat! Baby Grace, born on August 8th, is a tasty little one with a mommy, auntie, and grandma who love all things breakfast. Hosting a breakfast-themed party was just as delicious and fun to plan as it was to host. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day…

Inspiration – Bright Colors! Cheery Flowers! Felt! Sunday Morning Comics (My grandpa used to call the comic section in the Sunday paper the “Funnies”)! I wanted party guests to feel like they were walking into a donut shop from their favorite comic strip. Incorporating yarn, felt, and comics set a whimsical world for breakfast time….

{Continued}…

Invites – Guests received mini cereal boxes that included a clear sealed bag with an adorable slide-open invite and a funky and fun fashion ring (every cereal box needs a prize, right?)! The invite featured a real Fruit Loop acting as the “O” in the saying “Oh, isn’t she sweet?”. The bag was sneakily placed and resealed into the cereal box. A custom sticker displayed on the front of the cereal box said, “Look: Prize Inside”. Edible and interactive… guest RSVP’d eagerly to see (and taste) more!!!!

Food – Guests filled their plates and bowls with a variety of breakfast treats and eats. A donut shop, including a K-Cup ‘U Brew’ station displayed the brightest and yummiest Dunkin Donut specialties (Yes, they do custom orders). A cereal buffet indulged guests in their favorite childhood cereal and included several flavors of milk and crazy toppings like sprinkles, sugar, chocolate chips, and marshmallow confetti. N’Counter, Grace’s mommy’s favorite breakfast spot, provided the most delicious bran and blueberry muffins. A whopping 12 inch, fresh-baked donut displayed Grace’s banner, hand-glittered by The Purple Pug, and set the centerpiece for the display. For the health conscious, fresh fruit and healthy breakfast bars filled up glass bowls on shelves.

Drinks – Mommy’s allowed to have a mimosa so why not make it one to remember. Jell-O cubes were placed in flutes for a bright and fun twist on the classic cocktail served in flutes with beaded stems. Add juice and bubbly, then sip & see. A couple of guests were baking little buns of their own so a “Milk Mixin’ Station” allowed guests to drop a Got Milk? flavor straw into a refreshing cup of the Moo-Juice. Speaking of juice, guests could choose from “Fresh Squeezed” mini carafe bottles or “You Squeeze” orange sippers. Insert, squeeze, and sip (a Purple Pug inspiration)!

Décor – With the help of a few strong men, a few rolls of wrapping paper, and some rented tables and linens, my living room and home office transformed into a fanciful and fantastic breakfast hot-spot. Then, Dez from Papercandee, did the rest. She created the most enchanting printable collection perfect for the party. From the tiniest donut flags to the donut-shaped banners; it all incorporated the colors, theme, and the most adorable little sunshine. I set the tables with mini centerpieces (tiny cereal boxes, small fabric flower blooms, and felt donuts) and arranged transparent Louis Ghost acrylic chairs around the tables to off-set the rather bright décor around the room. Paper pinwheels, empty cereal boxes, comics, felt garland, fruit loops on yarn and paper poms set the backdrops and hanging décor. My favorite details were the donut-shape balloons and ‘almost good enough to eat’ flower arrangements. I placed six gerber daisies in empty Dunkin Donut boxes to look like tasty treats. I stacked a few closed boxes, and then left the one with the flowers open for a sneak peek of the flowers inside.

Favors – Cereal flavored lip glosses that I found at Target were placed into hand glittered boxes (Purple Pug). Guests also filled ‘to go’ boxes for the kiddos at home taking cereal box prizes, donut holes, cereal bars, apples, you name it. But the oohhs and aahhs really came from the personalized spoons that were beaded for every guest by Grace’s grandma (thanks again Puple Pug for so many awesome ideas).”

Organic Garden ‘You Pick’ Eco Friendly Party

My next winning party feature goes to this super unique ORGANIC ‘YOU PICK’ PARTY submitted by Elle Belle Creative. And that it is…CREATIVE! Stacey discovered a local hydroponic u-pick farm, First Fruits. Her daughter loved picking produce there so Stacey thought it would be the perfect place to have an end of school year celebration {including breakfast}. She knew it would be a great experience for the little ones, and something the parents would enjoy as well.

Eco Friendly invites ordered from Rethink Ink.

Green square plates were purchased at Ikea. Vinyl name decals purchased fromLime Tree Gifts. Paper straws from Isa Kay Boutique.

Darling gardening aprons were made for each guest. Notice the cute little name tags with miniature clothespins purchased from here.

Doilies {purchased from here} made up the table runner.

Overturned plant pots were used for seating…

The breakfast menu included orange juice, blueberries, muffins, applesauce, fresh berries with whipped cream, pudding “plants”, bagels and coffee.

The little ones made strawberry shortcake at the party and went home with their buckets of ‘pickings’, a strawberry huller {purchased here}, their gardening apron, an envelope with the adorable gnome paper crafts inside and mason jars filled with fruit dip. Felt strawberries purchased from Mud and Twig.
