As the kids turned two and three only one day apart, a perfect twin boy/girl party was a necessity. What better than a traditional red and black Mickey and Minnie party?
Then main goal of this party was an amazing treat table and sticking to a tight budget! By doing as much as I could myself, I was able to keep the cost down and throw a nice party!
OVERVIEW
PLAYERS
The two cutest kids around...Bubbi and Boo!
and mommy and daddy
(and of course 80 more of our closest friends and family...yes I'm insane).
TREAT TABLE
 |
| Mickey Mouse Cake |
 |
| Minnie Mouse Cake |
I made the cakes myself...even made my own marshmallow fondant from this amazingly easy and yummy recipe!
I had originally planned on making Mickey and Minnie cupcake pics with these cute cutouts I ordered from Jacquelines Paper. I then changed the cupcakes to chocolate frosting and mini Oreo's for ears. Did I waste the cutouts!? No way! I put them on top of the cake pops to add some flare.
I covered tootsie pops with cut squares of black tissue paper and add some red bling I bought from Michael's. Then I cut some Styrofoam to fit the Mickey basket (amazingly lucky Goodwill find) and shoved the pops in. I tossed some mini marshmallows on top and...wala!
I had an old gold three tiered plate holder so I spray painted it black and bought some cheap plates at the Dollar Tree. I bought some amazingly cute red, white and black mickey sprinkles to add to the chocolate dipped Mickey crispie treats and huge marshmallows.
DECORATIONS (and misc details)
These super cute red and black Minnie clips from Pinkadot Tots were the favors for all the little girls to take home!
Bubbi and Boo looked their best in custom Mickey and Minnie styled shirts from Ollie B Boutique.
I wanted a cute pinata, but I'm too cheap to buy an expensive pinata then spend another $20 to fill the darn thing. Some research and I found a very easy to follow Mickey/Minnie pinata with directions on At Second Street blog.
