ISSUE 17: BARBIE INSPIRED MAGAZINE FEATURE

 

As a mum of 3 daughters I know how popular Barbie has been in our house so I am delighted to share this Barbie inspired 4th birthday magazine shoot for our recent magazine, by our Celebrate Society member – Hazel Events and Prop Hire, Melbourne!

 

This barbie inspired kids birthday party is a burst of colour with the magnificent balloon tower by Luft Balloons and creative dessert table and barbie shop with props from Hazel Events as well!

 

 

 

The array of mini desserts by Cocoa Oven is a feast for the eyes and I love the acrylics by Lavorato Designs for a modern way to dress up a barbie inspired cake created by Sweet Sensations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sweet Health provided the gorgeous cookie mix bottles which are always a hit for party favours:

 

 

 

I loved this backdrop for the kids table with a gorgeous shimmer wall from Hazel Events and  tassel garland by The Little Shindig Shop!

 

 

Wild Confetti stepped in to create the amazing kids party table!

 

 

 

What a gorgeous setting using partyware from BAM Party & Events and acrylics from Lavorato Designs and desserts by Cocoa Oven:

Barbie Party – Real Party Feature

 

Pink, pink & pinker was the vibe for Cionné’s 5^th birthday Barbie party styled by Memorable Parties in Perth! 

Hidden Haus warehouse, with its peachy pink walls, was the a perfect setting for a Barbie birthday party – with Barbie backdrop and balloon installation in gorgeous pink shades complimenting the venues colour scheme.

Pink iridescent tablecloths were adorned with pretty table wear from Favor Lane Party, with acrylic discs and drink swizzle sticks featuring various Barbie fonts across the eras. This all helped to bring the Barbie party theme to life!

 

 

Acrylic risers filled with iridescent thread displayed sweet treats, including Barbie cookies, in all shades of pink.

 

 

Chairs and favor bonbons featured guest names in iconic Barbie font for a personalised touch.

 

 

 

 

Guests were kept entertained by Barbie herself from Glass Slipper Entertainment –  dressed in a spectacular pink dress fit for the occasion. A crowd favourite was the guest fashion show led by Barbie herself.

 

Guests played pretend in Creative Themes Perth Barbie box – the perfect photo opportunity for any Barbie fan!

 

 

A double cake, including an iconic Barbie doll cake, was a sweet ending to celebrations.

 

We hope this inspires any Barbie birthday party you’re planning!

Barbie inspired birthday party supplies and ideas

I don’t know too many 58 year olds who inspire 5 year old birthday parties, do you?

But with a portfolio of over 150+ careers and a killer wardrobe, it’s no surprise Barbie has and always will be an inspiration for so many young girls – so why not have a party in her honour?

But how do you choose between rock ‘n’ roll Barbie, Malibu Barbie or Mermaid Barbie?

Think like Barbie and make everything PINK of course!

 

 

 

 

 

I was a HUGE Barbie fan when I was little. My all-time favourite was Barbie and the Rockers, which in hindsight would have made a great party theme!

If choosing just one of Barbie’s roles is too hard though, use a Barbie silhouette and stick with PINK as your main colour mixed with with white and black which will achieve the right effect – we’ve found a few ‘accessories’ to help complete the setting from vendors listed on the Life’s Little Celebrations children’s party directory

Start off with a fun invitation to set the theme!

Barbie party decorations

PINK, PINK and more PINK! Barbie could never have enough. Mix with a little black and white for a modern twist, and of course add as many accessories as you can find!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HIRE

 

How fun would this Barbie prop be for the kids!:

 

 

 

Set up a cute kids table with pink chairs such as these!:

 

 

This would make the perfect piece for a dessert table!:

 

Perfect for a Barbie themed slumber party!:

 

 

 

Barbie party tableware

Regardless of your choice of Barbie, your table setting can be as lavish as you like because Barbie’s party are always over the top! Mix and match for fun and be as feminine or chic as you like. Don’t forget the PINK!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ice cream cups, Little Boo-Teek

 

Barbie party treats

Like most icons, Barbie is instantly recognisable – so use this to your advantage and incorporate the colour and visuals from your decorations into your desserts too. I love this silhouette concept by The Sweet Cart in Perth.

 

 

 

 

And you can’t really go wrong with a Barbie cake, can you?

 

 

 

 

Any pink cakes and desserts match this theme – if you have other Barbie specific desserts, Barbie cake topper or Barbie backdrop then you can go with a more generic pink cake !:

 

 

 

Let these glam desserts inspire you! They would work perfectly on a pretty pink Barbie table!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love the font of this cake topper! Perfect for a Barbie party:

Barbie party favours

We know how much Barbie loves her accessories, so send guests home with their own with unique treasures, mini treats and lots more PINK!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can’t go wrong with edible party favours – personalised of course! Love the gold foil effect:

 

 

 

Match your party favour gift bags and tag to the colour scheme of pink/black/white!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mini Barbie fans will go ga-ga over this theme! Enjoy the party planning!
