A birthday party is an occasion to celebrate an awesome milestone no matter what the age!

Decoration Ideas

For decorations, a sugar and spice birthday party should have a fairly easy to follow color palate. Think chocolate brown mixed with pastels of pinks and blues. Regardless of whether you’re throwing a party for a boy or girl, all these hues can be incorporated beautifully. Dark brown tablecloths with pastel blue or pink lace runners, along with accent pieces placed around the venue such as bags that say “sugar” and “spice”, or all different sorts of salt, pepper, and sugar shakers. Streamers in the same colors, along with garland cutouts of sweet baby sugar treats and twinkling fairy lights are all fantastic additions to your party décor. Don’t forget creative centerpieces, and opt for bowls or jars full of sweet smelling roses or peonies paired with cinnamon sticks for an extra scent of spice and a gorgeous, unique look.

Food Ideas

Food is super fun for a sugar and spice themed birthday party. You can create a birthday cake that is multi-tiered with half white frosting and half chocolate frosting, complete with garnishes of both white and red lilies and toppers of table shakers. Apart from the cake, it’s a great idea to have two separate food tables sanctioned off into “spice” themed and “sugar” themed foods. For the sweeter table, have the birthday cake along with cakepops, richly frosted sugar cookies and cupcakes, macaroons, and sweet candies in beautiful glass jars. For the spicier table, opt for cucumber jalapeño sandwiches or peppered deviled eggs. You don’t have to be super spicy and you can definitely have some saltier fares for guests available such as dips and chips. For beverages, you can definitely offer the normal lemonades, punches, and sodas, and also think about having a tea bar set up! Here, guests can choose from sweet to spicy teas to enjoy during the party and it goes perfectly with the theme!

Game Ideas

Games can be just about anything you desire, from classic board games to more interactive games like charades or catchphrase. You can also whip up some cute themed games such as sugar and spice bingo or sugar and spice mad libs. You can also play a game called ‘guess the spice’ game where you prepare jars of spices for the guests to look and guess!. You can even create an activity for party guests in which ingredients are provided and they make their own little jars of a sugary spice mix!

Favor Ideas

Favors are equally as fun to put together for party guests, because you can really give them an adorable assortment of goodies. Fill pink or blue bags with gourmet chocolate treats, peppered hot chocolate, and spicy nuts (assuming no one has allergies), along with all different sorts of sugars and seasonings or guests to take home and enjoy!

SpongeBob party Ideas

SpongeBob Party Invitations

They have so many great SpongeBob birthday decorations that your only challenge will be deciding on which ones to use! Here are a few ideas that will compliment any SpongeBob party theme:

Invitations

Let SpongeBob’s smiling face get your guests in the adventurous spirit with SpongeBob Invitations! You can also personalize them by gluing them to an actual sponge or cutting a starfish or pineapple from stock paper and including it inside the invitation with a special message for your guests.

Party Decor

SpongeBob Scene Setter Decoration Set is a must-have for an underwater-themed party. And what would SpongeBob say about a party without table decorations or a pinata? Barnacles, that’s what! You can also hang blue streamers from the ceiling to resemble waves and green ones for seaweed. And, of course, don’t forget to play SpongeBob music in the background!

Food & Drink

What better food to put on SpongeBob Classic Square Dinner Plates than fish sticks, SpongeBob Pirate’s Booty popcorn, goldfish crackers, and Krusty Krab Cakes (actual crab cakes or hamburgers). You can also make yellow cake cupcakes with yellow frosting and showcase them on the SpongeBob Cupcake Stand.

And most of all … have F.U.N. the SpongeBob way:

F is for friends who do stuff together
U is for you and me
N is for anywhere and anytime at all
Down here in the deep blue sea!

Avengers Birthday Party Ideas

Invite Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, the Incredible Hulk and the rest of the team to your little superhero’s celebration! Speaking of superheros … you’ll be the hero of the day with these Avengers birthday party ideas!

Invitations

Invite friends with Avengers Invitations using a phrase like “calling all superheroes!” or “Heroes Unite!” Inside each invitation, you could add Avengers Assemble Tattoos which are non-toxic and easy to apply and remove. Thank all your friends for coming with Avengers thank you card where you could include a photo of the birthday boy or girl and their heroic friends together! Guests will love having a memento from the party to remind them of the fun time they had.

Add some red, white, and blue balloons, ceiling streamers, and the Avengers Assemble Wall Decorating Kit, and your superhero will feel right at home. Have some fun bowls of kid’s favorite snacks with creative food labels such as “Super Nachos”, “Brain Power”, “Muscle Boosters”, “Memory Bites”, “Slam Burgers”, and “Captain Jelly” etc. Drinks for the superheroes would have to be a “Power punch”!

For healthier options, prepare a superpower station with a variety of colorful fruits! All superheroes need to replenish their powers, and what better way to do so than with a snack tray of fruits and vegetables with little labels that tell each hero how it strengthens them (e.g. carrots = “supervision;” blueberries = “super mind”). And we all know what a mess those Avengers can sometimes make, so the Avengers Plastic Tablecover is a must for any party!

by Strawberry Fizz

For extra fun, you can unite the whole team than by giving each guest their own Avengers Mask! If budget allows, you can create a cape station where kid’s can choose which favorite superhero they want to be for that day!

Planning a party can sometimes be stressful, but our favorite snowman inspires so many fun-filled party ideas, it’ll be easy to get caught-up in the festivities. Olaf would encourage you to let it go, make it your own, and snowball the following ideas into your own memorable party.

Invitations

Send out an invite to guests asking, “Would you like to build a snowman?” Then, on the inside, it could read, “Then come join the fun with Olaf and friends at _____’s birthday party! And be sure to bring warm hugs!” You could also make each invite in the shape of a snowflake or include a Felt Snowflake Sticker inside the invite.

Party Decor

With Olaf, you could throw a party with a winter decor or a summer decor since Olaf loves the sun! Definitely get the party started off right with the Disney Olaf Value Party Pack as it contains everything one needs for a party, including plates, cups, napkins, utensils – even balloons and thank- you notes! You could create a “pin the nose on Olaf” game, a “build your own snowman” table with rice crispy treats, and elevate the laughter with an Olaf 3D Pull-String Pinata. Decor can range from blue and white (e.g. lights, streamers, balloons, and snowflakes) to sun, surf, and sand decorations. Be sure to add the Olaf Baloon Bouquet – it’ll definitely give your party a lift.

Food & Drink

Bring together marshmallows, pretzel sticks, black licorice, and baby carrots and you’ve got yourself edible snowmen (no offense to Olaf, of course). Consider making “melted Olaf’s” with greek vanilla yogurt or vanilla pudding cups. You could make blue jello “ice block” jigglers, snowflake cookies, and blue icing-dipped pretzel sticks. For dessert you could have hot chocolate and s’mores, or get an Olaf-themed birthday cake!

Whatever you include in your party, the one thing that Olaf would insist on is that you make it happy and fun – with lots of warm hugs.

Alice in Wonderland Decorations

The best place to have an Alice in Wonderland themed birthday party is outdoors. Now, if you can’t make this happen, you can still put on an awesome event, however if there is the option to put together this party outside, definitely go for it! You want to give the illusion of springtime to your guests, so taking the party outdoors is a sure way to help this motif along. Décor should include streamers, polka dot balloons, and spring flowers like daisies. These should be in the bright colors of yellows, pinks, blues, greens, and purples.

Tea cups should also be in abundance within your decorations, so get creative with this. Flowers in teacup pots, teacup streamers, and of course, setting up your eating tables to replicate an actual tea party. Create signage that you can post up throughout the party that quote the actual Alice in Wonderland book like “You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.” and “It’s always tea time.” The book offers tons of quotes for you to utilize brilliantly for your Alice in Wonderland themed party.

Alice in Wonderland Party Food

The birthday cake itself should be a detailed representation of the theme. Think a giant teacup cake, or the Mad Hatter’s top hat mixed with fondant pieces of the rabbit’s pocket watch and Alice herself. This should be placed on a main event table in a center point that guests can immediately see. Other treats on the main event table should be equally detail oriented, so opt for foods like cupcakes, cake pops, and big sugar cookies.

Fondant Mad Hatter Toppers by Shawna McGreevy

Daffodil cake pops, teacup shaped and frosted cookies, and cupcakes with deliciously thick frosting and toppers of characters like the Cheshire cat and the live doorknob are especially fun. You could also do Fondant Mad Hatter topper cupcakes, there is a youtube video above on how to make this amazing cupcake toppers. Rice crispy treat bars in the shape of playing cards from the Queen of Heart’s land add another special touch. Pudding in tea cups and gummy caterpillars give the treat table an extra dollop of creativity, and colorful candies in oblong, multiple sized apothecary jars are always a must have. More savory foods such as carrots, spring green salad, and cucumber tea sandwiches are easy for guests to grab and go to enjoy the birthday festivities.

Alice in Wonderland Party Favors

Party favors are especially exciting for an Alice in Wonderland theme, as you can use all the images of the book mentioned previously to really give your guests something they’ll keep forever. Gift your favors in actual tea cups with ribbons or boxes with the Cheshire cat’s infamous smile. Gift boxes in the image of a small house with Alice’s legs and arms sticking out (just as in the book!) will put a smile on everyone’s face and the gift box itself becomes a keepsake.

Actual tea sets are a super cute favor for your birthday guests or the actual “Alice in Wonderland” book. Other especially sweet favors that tie in with the theme seamlessly are miniature bottles with a “Drink Me” label paired with treats that say “Eat Me”. Looking glasses, kaleidoscopes, and bottle cap necklaces with Alice in Wonderland images are also all quirky and memorable party favors that your guests will absolutely love.

Alice in Wonderland Party Games

You can make your Alice in Wonderland party really interactive as well with unique party games. When else can your guests have a blast learning to play croquet! Pin the smile on the Cheshire cat and “taste me” games in which you guess the beverage in the bottle are big favorites. For a game that also serves as a party favor, provide your guests with paint and white teacups and saucers and let everyone design their own teacup set!
