Hooray! It’s a Mickey Mouse Theme Party

Ever since Daniel returned from his friend Martha’s Minnie party, he was stuck upon the idea of hosting a Mickey Mouse celebration for his young brother Charlie’s 1^st birthday. I never wanted this overly commercial theme but since Daniel and all other kids we know love the Mickey Minnie couple, I accepted my son’s request. I cannot share the pictures with you as my camera’s memory card got corrupt but here are the details of how I hosted a party on the Mickey Mouse theme.

• I kept the invitations simple. I bought some blank invitation cards and printed my son Charlie’s picture with a Mickey Mouse on one half part of it. On the other half, I wrote my invitation message ‘Hey ya everybody! The cute little mouseketeer Charlie is turning one. Please join us to celebrate this occasion’. The party details followed the message.
• My brother bought a Mickey Mouse air walker that we used for front door decoration as well as for photo prop. He also shared with me some Mickey Mouse Party Ideas that really helped me to plan my party.
• Since I was completely involved in taking care of Charlie, his dad did the decoration. It was simple but attractive. We used a lot of Mickey Mouse Mylar balloons along with solid balloons of red, black, blue and yellow colors. For the party table, I bought a plain yellow colored plastic over and pasted 2 large sized Mickey stickers on the front corners. I also used a readymade themed happy birthday banner for party table decoration.
  
  
  
• The Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Party Supplies that I bought from an online store really helped me to create the party atmosphere we wanted.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The food was simple; pizza, burger, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, chocolate drink, and of course, the yummy cupcakes.
• Since we had invited kids between 1 and 4 years, we used candies, cookies, and bounce balls.

Charlie was not very interested in the celebration but enjoyed seeing so many people in his house. Daniel had more fun than he had on his own birthday and I was delighted to see him so much involved in his brother’s party.
