It has literally taken me all week to download and edit the crazy amount of photos I took at Little Man's birthday parties last weekend. I'm beginning to think I have a real photo problem. Photographers Anonymous, perhaps? Anyway, there were so many fun things I wanted to share about this party, so this post is a long time in coming!
We had SO much fun with this Mickey Mouse theme! Are you ready to {finally!} see the details??
Who hasn't had a Mickey Mouse birthday party?! This was my dilemma in planning this party. I wanted to steer clear of the commercial Mickey party gear and somehow reinvent this classic party. It took some work and planning, but I think I was more excited on party day than Little Man!
Isn't he the cutest little Mouseketeer you've ever seen?!
Little Man's favorite part were his Mickey gloves! I sewed them out of white felt and simply used a sharpie to draw on the lines. Little Man wore these for 3 days straight! He loved them!
Mickey Mouse invite with stitched pocket! You can see the full tutorial for our Mickey Mouse invitations here.
Our party was all about red, black, and white with polk-a-dots! We decorated our "un-mantle" with a quick pennant banner, some wooden letters, my mason jar apothecary jars, my wooden frames from Cut it Out, and of course Mickey!
This is my favorite part!
I created a Mickey Mouse backdrop for our food table using a vinyl tablecloth. I love the paper lanterns with the buntings and the Mickey shape! Can I tell you my secret to cheap party decor?? Wrapping paper! I love using wrapping paper as my go-to source for decor. There are 3 types of wrapping paper in this photo! I use it for everything!
Our party table!
Just like last year, I created a birthday subway art centered around the birthday theme. Did you know that there are real Disney fonts? This Walt Disney font and these Mickey Mouse fonts were the stars of this subway art!
Edited to add: Yes, I do sell a digital version of this Mickey Mouse subway art. I can customize it for your child's birthday. Please e-mail me for details!
On every.single.picture of Little Man in the house, we added little Mickey Mouse ears! I keep finding random pictures around the house with Mickey Mouse ears!
This sign was propped up outside our front door. I created this image in Photoshop and just modpodged the photo to a wooden plaque.
Remember this chicken wire frame? I displayed pictures of Little Man from the last year and used the buntings to tie in the colors of the party with polk-a-dot ribbons.
I asked all of our adult guests (at our family party) to write a note to Little Man on the Mickey-shaped notebook paper. I plan to slip this into his scrapbook! The notes they wrote are really sweet!
As much as I LOVE pretty parties, my favorite thing about throwing a party is planning (and playing!) the games! So we wanted this to be kid friendly! We had a ton of fun!
As the kids arrived, we decorated Mickey Mouse sugar cookies! I found a Mickey sprinkles kit at Wal-Mart and they matched perfectly. Things got a little messy, but we threw the cookies in ziplock baggies and put them in their favor bags to take home.
This Cake Walk was our icebreaker game! I had taped pictures of Mickey Mouse and friends in a circle on the floor. The kids walked around on them (listening to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse music of course!). When the music stopped, we drew a calling card and the winner received a sticker! This game turned from a Cake Walk to a "Do the hot dog dance!" The kids were so cute!
We went T.P. bowling!
When I asked Little Man about his favorite part of his party, he insisted that it was the treasure hunt for Pluto's Bones! I spray painted some dog bones red and black. We divided the kids into a red or black team, and we sent them on a simple treasure hunt to find all of Pluto's bones. They loved searching for bones, and they continued hunting for bones the rest of the day!
Pin the ears on Little Man!
Played just like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, I cut out the Mickey ears on my Cricut. We blindfolded each of the kids, and they tried to pin the ears on this 16x20 poster of Little Man!
We used the red and white candy from the mason jar apothecary jars to play Mickey Mouse Bingo!
Following the directions from At Second Street, I created this cute Mickey Mouse pinata from an old diaper box! So smart, right?!
The only problem was that I must have made this pinata a bit too strong! All of the kids had 2 turns hitting the pinata, and eventually we let them stomp, kick, and pull the candy out! They loved scrambling for the candy!
Inspired by the catchy Hot Dog Dance, we decided to have a hot dog party! We found this old-fashioned hot dog roller machine online at Wal-Mart, and it worked perfectly! I decorated the table with some items from Little Man's Mickey bathroom! (You might spot the Mickey toothbrush and soap holders on the table!)
We kept lunch pretty simple! We served hot dogs and few small treats. We popped some popcorn and I dipped some pretzel rods in chocolate. (We called these magic wands!)
We let the kids pick out a hot dog and put it on the rollers (with supervision, of course!). They loved watching their hot dogs cook!
I ordered these fun polkadot straws from Hey YoYo on etsy. The kids LOVED them! (And honestly, so did I!)
I made these yummy chocolate cupcakes from Sweet Treats and More, and they were SO tasty! And you can't go wrong with Oreos! They were a hit! (I first saw these here at the Cupcake Blog.)
I always try to set up a little area for a mini photo shoot to remember our guests!
We had one little one who just didn't want to wear the Mickey hat!
My sweet husband cut out all of the Mickey ears out of foam board and we just hot-glued them to party hats! Almost all of the kids loved wearing them!
The party planners.
Don't tell Mr. oopsey daisy I posted this one. Deal?
We sent home these brown paper bags with each child. I filled up the bags with some Mickey Mouse favors plus the cookies and pinata candy!
What a fun party! And this Little Man enjoyed every minute, so it was all worth it!
And guess what?! We also hosted a family dinner party! See how we did it here--we created an entire hot dog bar!
Edited to add: Many readers have commented and e-mailed asking if I sell any of the party supplies for this party. At the current time, I am selling the Mickey Mouse subway art just using a Paypal invoice. Please e-mail for details if interested.
Have a great weekend!
Such cute ideas! Thanks so much for sharing!
This is a truly awesome party! You outdid yourself! Love all the crafty decor and everything really!!
Adorable party. I love all the little touches you did. those mouse ear hats are so cute.
You did such a great job Alison! I love your attention to detail and the use of wrapping paper is genius. It’s amazing how the party is clearly Mickey Mouse but without using all of the licensed Mickey Mouse gear. Kudos to you!
Wow! You really know how to throw a party!
Adorable!

Awesome job, Alison! Everything looks fabulous, I love it all! Definitely inspiring.. pinned it!!

Awesome party Alison! You put a lot of effort in and it looks like it turned out great!
Little man is super lucky.
Alison… this is absolutely adorable!! You did a fabulous job and it looks like it was enjoyed by all! The background for the food table is awesome! I know Little Man will remember this party for years to come! May be hard to top!

Do you have any of these goodies available to buy??? I’m doing a Mickey party for my little girl at the end of April and all of this is exactly what I wanna do! If you want to sell any of these goodies or anything, I’d totally buy them! I especially love the subway art and the Mickey backdrop!!!
So cute Alison :))
Love the backdrop for the wall you made!!The special details mean so much.
My boy is 21 now!
Wow where did the time go…? I did a big bash like this for my son with decorating and props but it was a Big Bird & Cookie Monster theme… oh wayyyy back when…19 years ago…
Thanks for sharing and spurring on a flood of special memories of my boy this afternoon:))
Enjoy these precious years!!

What a fun party! We have our Kitchen Fun and Crafty Friday Link Party going on now and would love for you to share this! http://kitchenfunwithmy3sons.blogspot.com/2012/02/kitchen-fun-and-crafty-friday-link_23.html
WOW Alison! Slam dunk! Home run! That party is incredible! You did a phenomenal job.
Whew! You really did a great job. You missed your calling as a party planner. You have ideas that so many others wish they had. Thanks for the post, I just wish I had little ones and I would use these ideas.
WOW!!! There are so many amazing details in this party. I’m going to use some of them as inspiration for a baby shower were throwing with a Mickey theme. You are very talented indeed! I found this through the link party at Tatertots & Jello!! ~ Megan (your newest follower)
Alison, I saw your party featured on Kara’s Party Ideas. Congrats!! It’s a SUPER cute party!
so very cute!!! my daughter loves minnie mouse, but I’m toying between that, LaLaLoopsey and a cupcake themed party…hmmm, great ideas!
Such a cute party! Always love seeing your creative ideas.
I featured your TP Bowling Game on my blog, feel free to come check it out:

Getting ready for my sons Mickey Mouse party and I cant believe I didnt stumble on your blog earlier…. OMG I love love love your ideas. This party is sooooo cute! Thanks for sharing gives me inspiration for finishing up the details of my little mans party.
Alison you did a great job! Grant was talking about how much fun he had for days after the party
Yay! I’m so glad… we had SO much fun!
Amazing! I love the photo shoot! Too cute!
I think you should credit your inspiration as a courtesy for your fellow crafters and party mamas… Or you are the kind that goes on to pinterest and catch my party, copy ideas and credited as your own? It’s the polite thing to do
Hi Angie. I always try to be polite to my fellow bloggers, and I definitely tried to credit every blog or shop whose ideas or products I implemented.
This party is amazing! You should totally submit it to Kara’s Party Ideas!! You did such a great job with all the detail and bringing in so many things from the show “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.” You are every kids dream mom!!
I love the photo booth and especially those adorable Mickey gloves!
Stopping over from Positively Splendid’s Saturday Seven Party!
I love this! SEW much! You are so talented and have given me a ton of great ideas for my three-year-old’s party – he loves Mickey so much! Love your blog – it’s so fun! Feel free to visit me over at LoveItSewMuch.blogspot.com.
What a lucky little guy to have a Mom who is willing to spend so much time, energy and creativeness on his party! Bet he’s looking forward to the next birthday already!! We are getting ready to make a 2 day trip to disneyworld with a 3 1/2 year old and an autistic child. I think your bingo game would be wonderful to play in the car. Do you have a download available? thanks. Again, Kudos for a job well done.
Thanks Holly! Unfortunately, I am not the owner of the Mickey graphics, so I can’t provide a download for the Micky Bingo game. We sure had fun with it though! Have fun at Disney World!!
Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..HOT deal on a Silhouette CAMEO™ (plus sketch pens & more!)
Hello I loved your party!! I also was wondering how you made your BINGO game or If you are selling copies of it? I would be interested for my Son’s B-day.
I love his shirt! Where did u find it at? Were having a Mickey mouse clubhouse theme party for My son. Your so creative and the party looked great!!
Hi Richelle! I actually made his shirt!

This is the cutest Mickey Mouse Birthday I have ever seen! My son, Trey, loves Mickey Mouse and we will certainly be using a lot of your ideas for his big birthday coming up in September! Thank you so much!!- Laura Ferguson
Just wondering where you got the polka dot table covers, I have searched everywhere for them ??
Hi Tara! I used polka dot wrapping paper instead of table covers. I used wrapping paper for just about everything!
Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..HOT deal on a Silhouette CAMEO™ (plus sketch pens & more!)
Awesome that is what I thought, just wanted to make sure, I had never thought about that, but it is an awesome idea, I have had so much trouble finding polka dot table cloths. Just one quick question, how did you make the big mickey mouse behind the food table, if you have answered it in a previous post I apologize I must have overlooked it
same question! how did you make the big mickey mouse behind the food table? So cute.
HI ladies! I have responded to this question here in the comments…. but here is a quick rundown: I took a large sheet of the wrapping paper and accordion folded it like a fan… then I pinched it tightly on one side. I repeated this 4 times, and then glued each quarter together to make one large circle. I repeated the same for the 2 smaller circles for the Mickey ears. I recommend watching this tutorial:

Where did you get the font for the words “Little Man” in your subway art. Trying to get ready for our own Mickey Mouse 2nd birthday party this weekend!
Heather recently posted..Brother or Sister?!
I was looking for it too . . . thought I’d help you out . . . after a LOT of searching, I found it on dafont.com and it is titled “BUDMO” . . . hope this helps!
Thank YOU!!! Was looking everywhere!! Should have read these comments first, lol.
THANK yOU for posting that, I was just coming down to the comments to find this very thing!!
Thank you so much for sharing all your amazing ideas. I am so in love with everything! Would you please share where you got the black and white polka dot paper fans/pinwheels for the Mickey mouse shape you hung on the wall? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere and haven’t been able to find them. Thank you so much for your help!
Fantastic job! Very creative and it looks like everyone had a blast!
this is a great blog, thank you so much!
This is incredible! I love all the details so much and the fact that it’s all homemade! So special and wonderful!
Natalie @ A Turtle’s Life for Me recently posted..Art Display Boards
My daughter is having her 1st birthday party on Saturday, and I LOVE your Mickey Mouse wrapping paper head! I am trying to figure out how you did it.. Did you just fold the paper back and forth like a fan, one fan for each half , and then staple them together to make a whole circle? I think that is how I am going to attempt this! I have white wrapping paper with black polka dots already. I love using it as a table runner
Hi I love all your ideas!!! I’m currently planning a b-day party for my son and gonna use some of your ideas.
I have a question what is the name of the font that you use on the center subway art. You have the disney one and the mimi and mickey one, but there is another one that looks like it has dots in the middle of the letters.
Thanks a lot!!
Glad I tumbled on your blog as I was searching for ideas for my son’s Mickey-themed birthday party. You did an awesome job!
hi !! i just want to know where can i get printables for the mickey mouse bingo?..thanks!
I love love love this party!! We are throwing a Mickey Mouse party for our little man who is turning 3 next week and I have been working on it for over a month now! I am so excited! You had such an adorable party and I want to thank you for the inspiration!! Is there any way you could share what the name of other font was that you used for the subway art that says little man and 3 years old? I love that font too and couldn’t find it! Thank you for all of the amazing ideas!!
have the same question as MANY others about what the font source/name is for the “little man” and “3 years old” . . . please reply to someone!!! thanks!
I FOUND IT . . . “Budmo” on dafont.com . . .
Well, I tried to reply to the other people that were asking this same question and it said it was a duplicate comment . . . didn’t know this worked that way . . . so hopefully those that had the same question will read my response to myself! HA!
Hi Angela… I have replied to all of those responses via e-mail
Budmo is the correct font.
Alison recently posted..DIY Milk Glass
Can you please tell me where you found the black and white polka dot fans you used to make the mickey mouse head and ears? thanks!!
Hi Jill… I made everything you see using polkadot wrapping paper!
Alison recently posted..DIY Milk Glass
Hey Alison, I really appreciate your efforts for making those gloves. They are looking like real Mickey Mouse ones. Even the invite is awesome. I would recommend your blog to everyone who is planning a Mickey theme party.
Hi..

Was wondering what cartridge did you use on your cricut to make the mickey invites?
Hi Alison, I didn’t use a cartridge for the invites…. I used a designing software that is no longer available. You could also use a Silhouette and the designing software there.
Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..DIY Milk Glass
First time ever using Pinterest and came across your lil man’s mickey mouse party. My little dude is also about to celebrate a birthday with the same theme (surprise surprise). I excited to report I am using some of your GREAT ideas! I must ask…am I understanding correctly, you used wrapping paper for the table runner? The black and white polka dots? I just LOVE that look and would like to duplicate it. Thanks again for posting your party!!!
I love love this! I’m planning on having a Mickey party for my 1 yr old! This help out a lot. Thank you! Also where did you get the shirt with the polka dot tie? It’s super cute!
Hi Jessica! I made my LIttle Man’s shirt by designing the polkadot tie in the Silhouette Design software. I cut it out of black flocked heat transfer vinyl (using the SIlhouette) and ironed it on. I added the red Mickey ears also using heat transfer vinyl. I hope that helps!!
Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..DIY Milk Glass

Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..DIY Milk Glass
Thanks for the response. How much and how quickly could I get it?
How did you get the big Mickey shape backdrop to look like that with the paper?
HI Chelsey! I took a large sheet of the wrapping paper and accordion folded it like a fan… then I pinched it tightly on one side. I repeated this 4 times, and then glued each quarter together to make one large circle. I repeated the same for the 2 smaller circles for the Mickey ears. I recommend watching this tutorial:

Hi Sierra… You will just need to e-mail me the details you want in the subway art (child’s name, birthday, and age) so I can customize it. I charge via Paypal and once paid, I will e-mail you the file.
Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..DIY Milk Glass
I’m planning my sons first bday and its a Mickey theme. Where did you find the polka dot wrapping paper, hot dog holders and popcorn boxes? For the Mickey bowling what font did you use to label TP? Thanks in advance for all your ideas! It helps people like me who aren’t crafty thinkers!
Hi Alisa! I found all the supplies you mentioned at my local Hobby Lobby. The mickey bowling font is the Walt Disney font I mentioned under the subway art (there is a link to downloading it there). I hope those ideas help!
Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..DIY Milk Glass

Hi,
Where did you find the red and white polka dot and black white polka dot table clothes? I love all your ideas. Looks like a great party.
Hi Sonya. They are actually NOT tablecloths. It is just wrapping paper I found at my local Hobby Lobby and Wal-mart! Thanks for the kind words!
Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..DIY Milk Glass

What is the name of the font with the dots that was used for the Subway Art? I love it!
Great Job!!!! I can’t pick a favorite thing.
Thank you for this post! When I asked my almost 2 year old if he wanted a dinosaur or airplane party, he screamed”Mickey Mouse” . I tried so hard to convince him to go dino but he insisted, I didnt even know he knew who MM was in the first place. So, after searching throughout the internet I stumbled onto your blog and feel like you saved my day. Inspiring. Thanks! I now have the vision I need to make the party somewhat stylish. a win win.
Where did you get his shirt
Hi Carolina. I made his t-shirt using heat transfer vinyl. I designed the tie template in my design software and then ironed it on. I hope that helps!
Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..DIY Milk Glass

Im planning on makeing my son this exact party for his 1st birthday i really loved your ideas ! I just just have on question, How much did you spend on this party ? I want to know around how much money im gonna spend.
Hi Leslie…. I didn’t keep my receipts (it’s been almost a year since the pearty), so I really can’t give an accurate amount. Most of the things I made, so I did save a lot of money by doing that.
do you have a template for the pin the ears?
Love, love, love this. Could you share the font type of the “Little Man” in the marquee you produced? Block font with dots inside?
Thanks
The font is called Budmo.

Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..DIY Milk Glass
So much inspiration! I am planning my daughter’s 1st birthday around a Micky Mouse Clubhouse theme as well and would like to know what 2 fonts you used on the “TOOTLES” thank you for coming sticker. I’ve been looking for a legible script font for a while and that one looks great. If you could let me know it’s be greatly appreciated. Great job!
The “TOOTLES” is Ostrich Sans Rounded and the other scripty font is called Learning Curve. I hope that helps!
Alison@Oopsey Daisy recently posted..DIY Milk Glass
I love your ideas!!! What font (the bold letters with dots inside) did you use for the subway art? Thanks!
No need to respond. I found it in an earlier post! Thanks!!!
Oh, good, I’m glad you found it! Budmo is the font.

Hi could you tell me the details about the Pluto game?? I have about 30 kids at this party so I’m trying to find games that will work well with a large crowd….. I’m already doing the pin the ears on Mickey. Thank you so much!!! Love absolutely everything for your sons party!!
Hi Sonia! I just divided the kids into two groups. I gave each group a starting clue, and they each had an adult helping them. The clues led them around the house, and they collected bones at each location. One team’s bones were red, and the other team’s bones were black. Then they enjoyed just playing with the bones when they were done!
email me pls i would like to order the subwat art
Hi, you will need to e-mail me (click on the envelope icon on the top of the site) to begin an order.
Hi did you make the mickey mouse paper lantern?
Do you sell it?
Thank you
Yes Tatiana, I made the mickey mouse paper fan using wrapping paper (I gave instructions a few times in the comments above) but it would be much too large and tricky to ship. SO I don’t sell that, but I do sell the subway art.

Is that possible to let me know where you got the mickey mouse backdrop-tissue paper decor with the flags?
I think I have seen something like that on Etsy but can’t find it at this time.
I’m planning for son’s 1st b-day party (less then 3 wks away now) and I’d really appreciate if you could help me with that
Thank you so very much and congratulations on your beautiful party!!
Hi Tatiana…. everything you see as far as decor, I actually made. You can review the comments above yours for instructions to make it using wrapping paper.

I am having my 3 year Minnie mouse party in a few weeks and looking to have a minnie/mickey mouse cookie decorating party. My question is how did you have them spread the frosting? where did you put all the sprinkes in for all the kids? I want it to be easy for them but also not sooo messy. Some people mentioned use paint brushes. Not sure how many brushes? how many sprinkes for each kid. I was thinking getting black and pink frosting for the minnie mouse / mickey mouse theme.
Do you have pictures on how you prepared everything for them?
Hi Cynthia. The only pictures of cookie decorating are above. Each child sat down at a plate with a cookie. An adult helped each child spread the frosting (but this really depends on age, I think), and they were able to decorate their cookie however they chose! They were able to access sprinkles on their own, and had quite fun making a bit of a mess! I spread wrapping paper across a kids’ picnic table and then just tossed the paper when I was done. Good luck!
hey, you may have answered this question already, but where did you purchase the t shirt for your son? and is it available online? thank you! and creative party. it looks like everyone had a blast@
Hi Meghan, this was a 99% DIY party. I made his t-shirt, and I’m so thrilled that you like it!

I absolutely love love love this party! My little one is turning two in aug and we are doing a mm clubhouse these your page gave me some great ideas. I especially loved the subway art it’s a great decorating piece and keepsake as well. Where can I get one done ?
I can create a subway art for you! Just e-mail me by clicking the mail link above.
Wow, wow, wow! Your attention to detail is admirable! Such a beautiful party and I love the photo booth idea!
These are absolutely wonderful ideas. My son turning 4 in two weeks’ time wants a Mickey Mouse party and I stumbled upon this page. I have all the party almost all planned!
I just wondered whether you found the MM bingo cards on the net or whether you made them yourself and how did you play?

I LOVE the invitations. I don’t have any of the equipment needed to make them though. Can I purchase them from you?
Are you still making the customized MM subway art?
What is the cost and how fast can you customize?
Thanks!

Hi! my son will be 1 in March, I was wondering what I’d have to do to possibly get one of the Subway art pictures? and if you could possibly make the invitations? I can do the part with the words, it’s more the actual pocket thing….. I’m willing to do whatever to give my little man the best day ever (:
I absolutely love this page! The decorations are adorable and seem so easy to do. My son will be turning 2 in February and loves Mickey Mouse. I will be using some of these great ideas. I was wondering though about the birthday subway art. How do I go about emailing you for the information? Thanks Taylor
