Tutorial on How to make Minnie Mouse "Welcome to the Party" door sign Happy Birthday Banner I could not have a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party and not have a Mickey Mouse happy birthday banner to go along with it! This was super easy to make and I think the classic Disney font adds the perfect touch to the banner! Interested in making your own Mickey Mouse Banner? Follow my tutorial on How to make Minnie Mouse Happy Birthday BannerĮvery party needs a welcome sign! Thanks to my Cricut it made this project a piece of cake! The shorts actually coordinated really well and it all worked out! When I tried them on my daughter she was like "tight!" So at that point I was like okay, here I am trying to cram in making shorts the last weekend before the party, I need to just stop and have her wear something in her closet. So I started sewing some shorts, long story short I did not have much fabric to work with and I made them too small. I ended using some fabric from last years party which coordinated really well with the onesie.
I was out of luck, which is quite odd because I could have gotten a real deal on shorts being that winter clothes were starting to appear in stores. Weeks before the party, I searched for shorts to match this onesie. I actually like the other design, but once I saw this design coming together I knew it was going to tie in perfectly at the party. Last year I purchased a custom onesie from Etsy for my daughter's first birthday. It was adorable and the person was great to work with! Since I attempted many custom onesies this year (like the Valentines outfit and the First Trip to Magic Kingdom outfit and my friend's little one a new baby outfit ) I thought why not tackle the birthday outfit! I designed two different designs and then asked my blogger friends and hubby which design they liked best. These are probably more tedious than anything else. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most difficult. If you are interested in making my same design you check out my tutorial on How to make "Oh, Two-dles" Birthday Invitation but with doing a little each night it wasn't so bad. I had to assemble them myself, and yes, it took some times.
Here is another thing that you might not believe, it cost me $8.00 to make 22 invitations! I basically just paid for the custom card stock and I hit up Michaels at a perfect time, 50% off, plus an additional 25%! I purchased so much card stock I was able to make other custom decorations.
(Remember I only have about 7 months of Cricut experience!) I altered some things and came up with what I think was perfect! Everyone loved the invitations and couldn't believe that it was hand crafted. I was pressed for time and figured it was just too advanced for me to do on my Cricut. I actually had a completely different design that I wanted to go with. So lets talk about the Birthday invitation. So I chose pink and gold (just like my colors from my daughter's first birthday.) I know the kids will just love this, after all what kid does not love Mickey Mouse?Ĭolor Scheme: Instead of the traditional black and hot pink I wanted something a little different, something girly. So I did some googling and came across "Oh two-dles" theme Minnie Mouse birthday, its simply adorable and you can gear your whole party around phrases from the show. I wanted to go with something that she was "into." She loves Mickey and Minnie! In fact she use to refer to Mickey as "hot dog" for the longest time, because of the song. So when I was thinking about what theme to go with for her 2nd birthday, I thought for a while about it. We especially love hearing the hot dog song.over and over. She dances and she sings the key words in the songs. My little one will come running from anywhere in the house to hear the theme song of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse play. Theme: "Oh, Two-dles!", how I love hearing Mickey's voice at all hours of the day. You can check out all the details on her first birthday at "Little Pumpkin First Birthday." Last year I shared with you my daughter's birthday party, the theme was "Little Pumpkin." I loved it and it was perfect for an October birthday. Well, I cannot believe my little girl is 2! I never thought I would enjoy planning her birthday parties, but I just love it! Especially now since I own my very own Cricut! There is so many things that I see online that I just fall in love with but know that I could save a little money and make it on my own.
