This amazing WICKED {THE MUSICAL} SIXTH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Melanie of Melanie Monroe Photography. What a fun and creative way to capture the spirit of the musical and celebrate the birthday of twin girls!
Here are some of the elements I love most in this Wicked themed party:
The painted cardboard life size castle
The pink “Glinda” cupcakes and black / green “Elphaba” cupcakes
The witch broom pens in the favor pails
The “Emerald City Dress-Up Boutique” overflowing with green apparel for the guests to wear
and MORE!
This is what Melanie said about planning the party- “My twin girls turned six a few weeks ago and I can’t believe how time flies! This year they wanted a “Wicked” (the musical) birthday party and I was happy to comply. This party was so much fun to plan! I started a pinterest board for the party MONTHS ago and got lots of great ideas. During Halloween time, I was able to get some great witch decorations and I was able to snag some fun green items for the “Emerald City Dress Up Boutique” when all the St. Patrick’s Day items came out right after Christmas. This was a karaoke party, so we had some great singing and dancing going on, as well as the “Flying Monkey Zipline” and the “Madame Morrible Tornado Ride.” We had lots of green snacks and drinks (even green ice cubes in the punch!) as well as Glinda and Elphaba cupcakes with witch hats and princess crowns. For favors we gave out a small “Anti-witch water bucket” filled with pink and green lollipops, pink Glinda bubbles, green Emerald City sunglasses, and a Defying Gravity broomstick pen. Thank you to all the friends and family that joined us to make my girls’ 6th birthday extra special! We had a wicked good time!”

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!”

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.”
