We’re getting so excited about our
Disney Side Party! We’re
still in the planning stages but as soon as the
box American Tourister Suitcase
arrived filled with Disney delights, we put on our thinking cap—aka our Mickey Ears—and came up with some
creative ways to use some of the goodies in the
#DisneySide Home Celebrations Kit.
Get Crafty with Cupcake Liners
Of
course you could use cupcake liners for cupcakes but consider some of these other
fun, festive options. There are so many cute and creative things you can do with these inexpensive accessories.
- Cover a strand (or two) of twinkle lights with
the cups to create some extra Disney magic for your evening DisneySide party.
- Use the cups for a sweet, with hint of healthy,
snack. Combine nuts, Craisins, marshmallows, M&Ms, etc.
- Get crafty at (or before) the party and make a
bouquet of Disney flowers. All you need besides the cupcake cups are green
pipe cleaners.
- Serve bright colored pop cycles (fruit pops are
a great choice) and catch the drips with the Disney décor.
Game On with Paper cups
The
obvious use would be to serve drinks in your cups but how about keep them empty
and using them for a game? Get ping pong balls, decorate them and let your
young guests toss the balls (or bounce them) into the cups. If a ball lands in
a cup that has a Mickey sticker on
the bottom, it’s a win. Goofy
temporary tattoos are the perfect prize!
DIY Disney Shirts with Hanes T-Shirts
Crafting is a great way to get kids and adults alike engaged in a party
setting. Because some people (us included) are a tad intimidated by a blank
canvas, so to speak, offer up a simple
Hanes t-shirt station with one sample shirt on
display. Lay out different shirts in color and sizes. You can offer guests a number of creative directions that encourage
simple DisneySide shirt decorating. If you opt for a craft station, consider
using the plastic Disney table cloth to cover your craft table to protect it
from paint.
- Use Disney Cookie Cutter shapes or with fabric paint to decorate the shirts. This
is a simple and fun way to have your guests show off their #DisneySide and have
a keepsake to take home. When using cookie cutters as stamps you have to use
fabric paint so be sure to have a place to lay shirts out to dry. It won’t take
long but it might be best to do this craft first so the paint has time to dry during the
remainder of the party.
- Silhouettes colored with Fabric Pens are an easy and adorable
way to express your guest’s DisneySide. If you have the silhouettes cut out
before the party then guess can just use the fabric pens to trace and color in.
The beauty of the pens is that they dry pretty quick so you can wear your shirt
for the party! We found 3 free downloadable pdfs from Bryton
Taylor. Adorable, right?
DIY Photo Booth with Table Cloth Backdrop
Not only can plastic table cloths be used for a craft work station, you can also hang them up
on any wall for a photo booth. It makes the perfect booth backdrop and it is so easy! Get out all
the wearable Disney accessories you can find (we’ve got bins full of them) and
make them available to your guests. Have them use their own phones to capture
the moments, use your own camera and/ or have a camera on a tripod with the
timer set so no one has to “man” the booth during the party. If you capture the
photos on your own camera, you can also share photo booth highlights from you
party on your blog or Facebook! Just ask permission from your guests.
Thank You Notes with HP Photo Card Pack
With
the photos you captured in your #DisneySide photo booth, you can create the
perfect thank you note. Print out your favorite photos on the paper in the
HP Photo Card Packs and mail them off. For artwork to use on the photos you can use the
HP app
and print right from you mobile device. Easy and adorable! Your guests will
love a keepsake photo of them showing off their #DisneySide.
We can’t wait to hear about all of your ideas and plans for
how you’ll be using your kit. Anything you want to share? As per the usual,
we’re all ears!
