I know that last year you guys loved reading about Abby’sĀ Wizard of Oz partyĀ so I figure that I will share this year’s party too!
Abby turned 5 this weekend and like so many other little girls she wanted a Frozen Party. Ā I’m not really into character parties which is good because all of the Frozen stuff is sold out anyway and spending $40 on hard to find Olaf napkins is just insanity. Ā So, we made it happen without any of the cheesy character stuff.
This year Abby wanted to be super involved in the party process and it made for a great bonding experience! Ā We spent hours at Michael’s and Hobby Lobby picking out things in every shade of blue and silver. Ā The big mesh runners were so perfect and we used them all over the place. Ā We also bought more stick on jewels than you would think possible and some super clearance winter limbs/spray. Ā We didn’t have a master plan but instead just brought home bag of stuff and just let it all fall into place.
Food/Drinks:
- Cake. Ā A basic $20 Target cake. Ā I boughtĀ Ā rock candyĀ and broke it up to make the castle. Ā We put her to Frozen Magi clip dolls on top. Easy Peasy.
- Popcorn. Ā Drizzled blue candy melt.
- ‘In Summer snack mix’. Ā Super easy with just mini marshmallows, chocolate circles, candy corn and pretzel sticks. Ā It was a great little snack for the kids.
- Snowman – Marshmallows attached with candy melt with pretzel arms.
- Marshmallow sticks. Ā Again,Ā candy melt. Ā We just dipped and then covered in sprinkles and stuck a stick in them.
- Sandwiches. Seriously. Ā Playing off the ‘you and me, we finish each others sandwiches’ line from the movie this was so easy.
- Mac and Cheese / Pigs in a Blanket
- Salad
- Juiceboxes, soda, water
- Adult beverages. Ā Beer, wine, Snow Queen Vodka,Blue Raspberry UV and Sprite in a big dispenser.
Favors
- Wands. Ā Super cheap at Hobby Lobby.
- Rock Candy in three colors.
- Necklaces that we made together. Ā We bought beads on ebay and then used twine and ribbon to make them.
- Lots of Balloons
Friends
- We can’t have a party without friends! We use birthdays as a chance to gather all of our friends together both children and adults. Ā We love to have it last into the evening and let kids play while parents chat. Ā Everyone has a great time and head home at bedtime with some tired kids!
Here is a peek at Abby’s party!
