The little man turns four this November, and as early as the first week of September, the preparations for his birthday celebration began. That's the way it has been ever since his first birthday.
 |
| First Birthday, Justice League. |
After his Justice League birthday party in 2009, I made it a point to have a themed birthday party every year.  |
| Second Birthday, Ben 10. |
Even if his second and third birthday were just simple celebrations at home, with his godparents as guests.
 |
| Third Birthday, Phineas and Ferb. |
For his fourth birthday, we're going to celebrate it at school, with Mickey Mouse as the party theme. I actually made the little man choose between Mickey Mouse and Toy Story, as these are the two available boys' party themes at McDonald's. (Yes, you guessed it right. We'll be having a McCelebration come November!)
Good thing he chose the former, as I wouldn't have that much of a problem when it comes to party ideas.
Spoonful.com is teeming with Mickey Mouse crafts and recipes, and the site has been a great help for the party preparations.

These
Mickey silhouette cake pops are just too cute to go unnoticed. They're a tad fussy to make, but I can just imagine the gleeful faces of the little man's classmates when they see this.

These
Minnie Mouse inspired favor bags make great souvenirs, too. Stuff them with candies and little toys and they're good to go. McDonald's party package for themed celebrations come complete with lootbags and party favors, though. That way, my arts-and-crafts skills (or the lack of it) need not be challenged, lol.
As for the birthday cake, I'm still undecided if I should just go for the traditional one (complete with cake toppers and lettering) or have something similar to
my Super Junior birthday cupcakes instead.

Either way, I'm sure the little man will have no complaints about it. He's happy for as long as he has a candle to blow, haha.
And gifts, of course. :)

MHO is for school--cupcakes are much EZier--maybe have cake for the McCelebration =)
ReplyDeleteIt will be fun!!
I'm sure he will love it. We don't do much fancy stuff for birthdays. A cake and one or two presents and my kids are happy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!
I love themed parties too! For Jacob's first birthday, we had a polka dots aqua blue and lime green party. You can check it here if you like: http://www.mommyroxi.com/2012/05/jacobs-1st-birthday-party.html
ReplyDeleteNow that he likes some cartoon characters, I'm thinking of having a Backyardigans party for his 2nd birthday. That is if my husband allows me to throw him one! :D
Happy 4th birthday to your little man. Love the theme for the birthday this year- Mickey Mouse. One of my favourite characters.

I had school celebrations for my kids when they were younger too... they were fun! I love those Mickey-themed party stuff... cake pops sound yummy, better than lollipops!
