Ideas for a Little Miss/Mr Men party

[briggsy's girl]

hit me with suggestions for things to do/have as part of a Little Miss and Mr Men party. DD has no particular loves in terms of anything (apart from dirt - and at a winter party, i don't think that is a good one) - so i was thinking of all her character traits to see what fits - and realised she is just like so many of the "Little Miss" books, i wanted that as her theme

so what an we do - decos, food etc

and just for fun - which character is most like you??

Very cute cupcakes

I saw an awesome cake too, but I'll have to find it again.

I always loved Little miss chatterbox.

I would stick to bright block primary colours.

*found it*
these are GORGEOUS!

Tissue pom poms in bright colours!

Me? (Not so) Little Miss Bossy - definitely. And, DD is exactly the same!!!

I reckon a cake would be pretty easy - especially if you choose a square Mr/Little Miss.

I agree with TMS - lots of bright, primary colors.

For decorations (depending on how far you want to go) you could make paper chains/dolls in the shape of a Mr/Little Miss.

I have also pm-ed you.

Will keep thinking

Oooh Izzy is deciding on either Tinkerbell or Miss Chatterbox so can't wait to hear all the ideas! I have found so many blogs with the most amazing buffet tables and etsy shops that sell cupcake toppers etc. Don't think I can post here but will pm you when I have a tick!

I always liked Little Miss Sunshine. She would be easy to make as a cupcake

[briggsy's girl]

oh those cupcakes are awesome!!

i so don't think i could do them though! maybe if i could make them ages in advance and store them or something...

[Beach Mama]

Yeah it does because they crumble. There is a thread around somewhere but I think from memory Madeira cake is good for carving up and one of the packet mud mixes maybe?! Can't look now am on my phone!

I am little miss fickle!

Sorry - no ideas.. just wanted to add that

PMSL Love of Dirt....classic and so very true!!

Had a look on E-bay they have some awesome stuff for a party

mr men party, Home, Toys, Hobbies, Tableware, Serveware items at low prices on eBay.com.au

[briggsy's girl]

will have to find some more info about the cake - i'm hoping to make a practice cake this weekend (if i can find a failsafe mudcake recipe lol).

Nicole - i have scoped out Ebay - i can't believe how much of it has the Mr Men SHOW on it - not interested in that stuff - lol

i have come up with a few ideas so far

decoration wise -
colored balloons, may find a little miss helium balloon, have some linkaloons as well. may try and get some "2" balloons as well
enlarged photos of Miss E with Little Miss titles - like LM Giggles, LM Trouble (and instead of Roger Hargreaves under the title, i'll put Mummy and Daddy)
window art Little Miss and Mr Men characters - i have the paints here - just need to enlarge pics to paint them.

loot bag/box

found a site that does little boxes (similar to happy meal box) in plain colors - thought i'd use them as the boxes, and put a tag on with Little Miss [insert name] or Mr [name] with a pic of a little miss or mr men on it
have arranged little miss/mr men cookies
have seen some little miss stationery stuff (nothing like that for the boys though - will have think on that one a bit more)
popcorn or chips
chuppa chups
something small chocolate wise

Invitation
will have a photo and a few different little miss characters on it

cake
i have big ideas - no idea if it will work, so until i've practiced, i'm not saying anything!

HERE is a version of the invite - background colorway is still in discussion - DH is leaning towards this one, i'm leaning towards a bolder gradient. Friends that have seen it are 50/50 split lol
