All three of our kids have birthdays in the same month. It makes for a busy, and fun time! I begin planning and searching for theme ideas well before the month of their birthdays...and this year was no different. With our little one due just a day after Kaden's birthday, we weren't sure if we'd be in the hospital or not. So, we decided to celebrate Kaelyn and Kaden's birthday together at the beginning of the month with one big party with family and friends.
Since we were celebrating their birthdays together, I wanted to find a theme that would be good for both a boy and a girl, went well together and something they would both love. As I thought about it, Mickey and Minnie came to mind right away. Kaelyn and Kaden LOVE them, and I knew they'd be tickled to have a Mickey and Minnie birthday party.
With the goal of finding everything I'd needed including plates, balloons, etc. all in one place, I turned to Celebrate Express. Their desire is to help busy people celebrate life's special moments. Celebrate Express offers party supplies and costumes all in one convenient location. They currently operate four brands you may be familiar with: Celebrate Express, Birthday Express, 1st Wishes, and Costume Express. We were very happy with the costume we reviewed from Costume Express last month, and couldn't wait to checking out Birthday Express and their birthday supplies for kids! They offer a complete, accessorized product assortment for chidren's birthday parties, and with over 150 different themes to choose from...you're sure to find one that suits your child just perfectly!
You'll find their website to be very user friendly with helpful categories along the side and top, making it easy to quickly search for the things you need. I have visited their website several times, and have had the pleasure to work with Celebrate Express in the past. I couldn't have been happier to learn we were going to have the opportunity to work with them once again. We were sent the the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Deluxe Party Pack and the Minnie Mouse Deluxe Party Pack from Birthday Express.
Each party pack included:
- 8 invitations
- dinner plates
- cups
- forks
- spoons
- activity placemats
- 16 napkins
- tablecover
- centerpiece
- foil balloon
- 18 balloons (3 colors)
- crepe paper rolls (3 colors)
- curling ribbon (3 colors)
- heart confetti (Minnie Mouse Party Pack)
- cake candles
Everything was absolutely adorable. The tablecovers and centerpieces are what really made the theme come alive in my opinion...not to mention the fact taht the kids absolutely loved it!! It was the first thing people saw when they walked into the party.
There were several kids at the party, so having fun placemats with activities for the kids to do on the back was also appreciated. I absolutely love that such thought went into table decorations as well as other necessities for the party. These packages really had everything (and more) that I was looking for!
The cups, plates, napkins, spoons and forks were also included and very nice to have...as we had cake, ice cream and some yummy snacks to serve the guests. We set them right up by the cake to tie the whole theme together.
It was special and exciting for the kids to be eating with colorful silverware and being able to eat of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse plates. Even the adults enjoyed it!
As with each year, the balloons were probably the biggest hit of the party. Kaelyn, Kaden and their cousins really enjoyed the bright colors. We had several assortments put together (including the foil balloons which were adorable) and then blew up a bunch and scattered them around the house as well. It's the little things that made the party so much fun!
We were VERY happy with the Mickey Mouse Deluxe Party Pack and Minnie Mouse Deluxe Party Pack! I couldn't have been happier with all that it included. It was created to be convenient for parents, as well as super fun and special for the birthday kids. It made putting together their party so easy, and the result was a fun theme that everyone enjoyed. I will definitely be turning to Celebrate Express again in the future.
Of course, these are just a couple of the many themes offered. With lots to choose from for both girls and boys, you're sure to find something that suits your little one just perfectly! I would highly recommend checking out Birthday Express the next time you're planning a party.
Buy It: You can purchase the Mickey Mouse Deluxe Party Pack for $38.99 and Minnie Mouse Deluxe Party Pack for $39.99.
Win It: One lucky reader is going to win a Deluxe Party Pack in the theme of their choice (up to a $39.99 value)!
