Frozen 3rd Birthday Party

My daughter recently saw the Disney movie, Frozen and LOVED it.  Well, she was terrified of the snow monster but other than that, the movie was a winner!  Her birthday party was a week after the movie was released so of course there were no Frozen party supplies available in stores yet.  We had her party on a whim because her uncle happened to be here for a surprise visit so I made everything the day of the party.  Luckily the party stores had plenty of snowflake decor since it was the beginning of December!  But thanks to Disney not being on top of things and filling the stores with party supplies for this blockbuster movie, I was left to come up with ideas on my own ;-) The planning and creating of everything but the cake was rushed into a 3 hour time frame but my little girl loved it all and that made me a happy mama!



 I used an antique silver platter as a centerpiece for the table.  I placed store-bought snowflake confetti and home made snowflakes which I made with a glue gun and glitter.  


I had some snow globes left over from my daughter's first birthday party.  So I printed out pictures of the Frozen characters and placed them inside.  




I made what I call "snow globe plates" using confetti, glitter and pictures I cut from a scrap piece of wrapping paper.  These were a HUGE hit with the kids!!







The cake was frosted to look like a snowy landscape complete with snow-covered hills and trees.  I purchased the Frozen mini-figure set and used the cardboard background inside the box as a stand-up background on the cake.  I placed the figures around the cake and had Anna and Elsa hold a Happy Birthday banner. 





What a fun little party for my big girl!
