Another Mickey Mouse Theme

Well, as things heat up here in Texas (after our mass amounts of rain that flooded a lot of our state), we are going back to a birthday party of my littlest nephew. His second birthday ended up being Mickey Mouse Clubhouse inspired with more emphasis on Mickey Mouse. He calls Mickey "Hot Dog". It's funnier because that's what his older brother called him at that age too! My SIL had a lot of ideas and we got a lot of them accomplished which is always good - even more so since she works from 7pm-7am as a NICU nurse.

They had one of the cutest print off invitations with his photo and it was very colorful. I think she got them at Walmart. Or someplace like that. All of the paper goods and photos were done by More Peas, Please. Again, MPP isn't the photography side of our company - that's ALL Snap Pea Imaging & Design, but because it's family, I always take photos for family.

Let's start with the details of the party:

The banner that says "Happy Birthday" had a Toodles in the middle of the words. The Door sign with arrows "Come Inside, It's Fun Inside" personalized with the birthday boy's name on Mickey in the middle. Next, I had my contact at Disneyland find Mickey's gloves and because we couldn't make the "Handy Helper" we made the "Glove Balloon" instead. A HUGE thank you to Nik and Lesia (or Uncle Nik and Auntie Lesia as Sugar and Sweet call them!). You guys saved me once again. The head cutouts are the perfect addition to the scrapbook that my grandma made for him. Everyone signs with a little note to him so that he can read them all later. The other banners made (with the topiary) are the gloves, pants, and shoes. Those banners are my new favorite. It was awesome to see them flanking the spiral crepe paper. The food tents I cannot take credit for. We found those on Etsy from Heart & Craftsy. One thing I have learned is it takes me more time to create things like that, than to just buy them. Of course I did add the words, print and fold them...but I didn't design those. The thing that momma wanted for nephew was the cups with the white buttons on them to mimic Mickey's pants. They were actually button cut outs, not just circles.


Here's the birthday boy. He did not want to eat his cake (second year in a row) and to be honest, Sugar Pea doesn't eat cake. Only in the last year has she eaten some, but Momma Pea has to scrape off the icing (aka, eat the icing). Here's the cupcake cake, his cake, him with his grandma, and the table of food complete with most of his toys used as decorations. We are Mickey Lovers through and through. It was such a FUN time. Below are the guests that had fun too!
