Wizard of Oz Themed Birthday Party

Follow the yellow brick road and take a look at this darling WIZARD OF OZ THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Juliana Mimos of Mimos Provence! Oh I simply can’t take the cuteness with this one! So many adorable ideas here! If you’re planning a Wizard of Oz party then this post is for you!

Juliana said this about planning the party- “This party was a personal achievement for me. It’s based on a story that stayed with me for life. I remember watching the movie, and Judy Garland playing Dorothy… so pretty! That image never left my mind! Some time ago Mama Ana Paula Tavares approached us to produce a feast for Clarinha. She wanted something delicate, pink and a different, striking theme. It was then that admiring the blog of my dear and talented Eggplant Pri, I saw that she had posted her beautiful doll’s entire class movie of the Wizard of Oz .. I knew what the theme would be! Along with the desires of Ana and the characters of Pri, I decided to tell this beautiful story of 112 years. The result could not be better… the beautiful decoration, full of charm, rich in detail, playful, magical and very, very happy!!

We use a wall of fabric, with many fun effects including helium balloons. The yellow bricks were portrayed in the scenario of the floor decoration. A personalized stationery with many shoes and the whole gang from the magical world gave a special touch to decor!”

Wizard of Oz Rainbow 4th Birthday Party

This WIZARD OF OZ RAINBOW THEMED 4TH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Keith and Tanya Manning of Totfudge! Such a cute party! All the display’s and ideas are too cute!

Here is what Tanya said about planning the party- “This year our daughter, Clara, asked for a Wizard of Oz birthday party. She and her sister spent the summer coming up with some really good ideas. We had to narrow down all of the great ideas the girls had and decided to focus on the iconic patterns and colors from the movie. For example: Yellow chalk on the driveway to create a yellow brick road, silver party hats with red hearts for the tin man, blue gingham napkins in honor of Dorothy’s dress, black and white striped plates to symbolize the wicked witch’s tights. We designed a new invitation just for this party and hand glittered Dorothy’s ruby red slippers. Another pattern we used was RAINBOW! We used crepe paper to create a rainbow in the hallway, served rainbow fruit, and made a rainbow surprise cake. I’ve always wanted to try a rainbow cake after seeing it on Pinterest and it was a huge hit!

The most fun part for us was creating the Munchkin Land sweet table. I chose all of the treats, mostly from Kara’s Party Ideas shop, and my husband designed some really cute labels. The kids (and grown-ups) had a ball filling up their goodie bags with treats at the end of the party.”

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Birthday Party

This adorable SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Christy Bergerson of Itsy Belle!

Christy said- “When the mommy & me playgroup I belong too wanted to do an end of summer party, all kinds of themes were considered. When a rainbow party came up in discussion and we realized we had 7 girls we knew it was perfect! A “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” theme was decided on and each little guest was assigned one Color of the rainbow to represent. Outfits could be put together in their color reflecting their personality.

What’s a party without treats?! Skittles were decided on as the perfect rainbow of sweets and I went to work creating a preschooler perfect dessert table. I was really inspired by the vintage lemonade stands I’ve seen popping up everywhere lately. Some weathered wooden crates created the perfect stand. I purchased fabric in every Color of the rainbow and cut into strips to create the fun fabric banner topping it. A vintage lemonade inspired sign declaring “Rainbows 5¢”, jars with colorful party circles and color coordinating paper fans with each little guests Name, and a candy scoop tag reading “taste the rainbow ” invited each guest to help themselves to some sweets. Plastic bags, Colorful string and thank you rainbow tags were provided for everyone to create their own sweet rainbow favors to take home. The centerpiece of the sweets stand was the fondant & ribbon covered cake, topped with an adorable rainbow pom cake topper created by Deborah of Titi’s Tutus.

The moms wanted to make sure to have a lot of photos of their adorable little rainbow, so a basket attached to balloons was the perfect “photobooth” offering rides to ” Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. Each girl got a turn in the basket and it quickly turned into a fun game of knocking the basket over with friend inside! Thankfully it was all in fun and lots of giggling took place!”
