Party Decor Help PIP

[bunnymendelbaum]

So we are having a dance party for DD1's 3rd birthday in 2 weeks. Here is the invitation I did last night:

The plan is to darken the dining room and move all the furniture out.

Get one of these lights:


I got these for the doors:

I want to line the floor with 2 layers of balloons (so thinner than this):


Got 100 glow bracelets:


So cake?
These mirror balls? Or just get the invitation printed on a grocery store cake?


Anything else you can think of that will make it fun?

I want that birthday party! Mind if I save this idea for Rubes? She'd love it.

I like the mirror cakes! Those are cute and cool. You could probably even save your self some time and just silver sprinkle and entire cake to cut. The grocery store cake idea is fun too, but I feel like when people do that it gets to be too much colored frosting fast, kwim?

Could you make a little DJ station and maybe have the kids take turns picking a song to dance too?

I like what you have. I'd just keep it simple anyways. Seems to work better with kids.

So fun! I like the mirror balls or sprinkle cake, and I agree with Dairy about the color frosting.

Has anyone done cake pops? Are they hard?
I just saw the mirror ball things but as cake pops.

[lb2006]

I've made cake balls - which are EASY. I'm sure it's just as easy to stick the 'sticks' in them to make them pops I say go for it!

[boiler717]

Cake pops are very easy

Just put some frosting or melted chocolate/vanilla on the end of your pop stick and stick them in the cake balls!

I have no suggestions other then you should invite me. I want to dance in a room full of balloons!

Awesome thanks!

OMG. I'm a theme party whore and I LOVE IT ALL!!

Maybe a round cake with record on top and stars all over the side?
Or is that too retro? My 4-year-old wouldn't even know what a record is LMAO.

[bunnymendelbaum]

She actually does know what a record is! Ha! My DH has some he plays for her.

He wants me to get the invitation image printed on an ice cream cake and stick the cake pops in it. I think that is what we will do.

I'd love to make her a cake, but I'm trying to limit the things I have to do. DH will be busy making the playlist. Those take him forever! I've tasked him with finding a censored version of that Thrift Shop song.
