This fabulous VINTAGE INSPIRED MICKEY MOUSE THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTYwith FREE PARTY PRINTABLES was submitted by Julia of Postre Adiccion!
I love the vintage vibe of this Mickey Mouse party! So many darling Mickey or Minnie party ideas! A few of my favorite ideas and elements are:
The Mickey Mouse head shaped cake pops
The printable Mickey Mouse square pennant banner
The popcorn boxes filled with black and red gumballs
The above red buckets are available in my shop. I simply glued on two white circles to make them look like Mickey Mouse. The same idea could also be used at a Minnie Mouse party…just get black buckets (or pink) and glue polka dots onto the buckets.
Make these hats out of regular red party hats from my shop and black paper circles. Simply attach two black paper circles to the back of the party hat.

This is what Michelle said about planning the party- “My little fella loves Mickey Mouse and anything to do with water, especially boats. One day while visiting Paradise Pier at Disneyland’s California Adventure, it hit me! A nautical Mickey Mouse birthday party would be perfect for his 3rd birthday!
To set the tone, I started with the invitation utilizing traditional nautical elements with some Mickey Mouse inspired details in red, white, aqua and navy blue. With the nautical theme being trendy right now, it was easy to find decorative items to coordinate. I even found Seagulls to hang overhead for that extra touch. I also reused several elements from past parties in the same color palette to stay within my budget. I handcrafted most of the paper items using my Cricut. I also learned how to make paper boats and sailor knots on YouTube. I personalized sailor hats for each child and hand painted muslin favor bags with red anchors and filled them with foam boats, whistles, anchor tattoos, bubbles and fish necklaces. The dessert tables were filled with candy and cupcakes along with Mickey cake pops, marshmallow cereal treats and cookies made by my friends Jamie and Theresa.”
