Monster High party theme
This is a popular theme for older girls at the moment and to be honest – being a mum to 2 very young girls – I am out of the loop when it comes to this theme however I have done my best to find some ideas for any of you planning for this theme.
Now just some tips for when planning a licensed character themed party – it is important to NOT buy every single party item in that theme
Mix a few themed balloons with some neutral lanterns. Or pick up on some of the designs/pattern such as (in this case) bows, zebra print, argyle print, skulls – and use those prints in your decor.
If you have all themed items for plates,cups, tablecloth, party favour bags, balloons etc it will look like the character just exploded all over your living room!
By just picking a few items to be themed and the rest more neutral/plain, the themed items actually stand out more and look better. For example – if you are using Monster High plates, then use them with plain coloured napkins. Use a Monster High tablecloth with plain plates and cups etc
Invitations/Printables
A few different invitations/printables for this theme. However if none of them appeal to the look you want, you can contact the businesses in the Customised Invitations & Party Printables category on the children’s party directory who would be able to custom design something for you.
This first design is great for a more subtle look:
Monster High invitation with matching printables available – Yummy Paper
Monster High printables – Pinkadot Shop
Monster High printables – Lil Faces Printables
Monster High beach party invitation – Art Depot 9 (ETSY)

Decorations
For decorations I’ve focused the items around hot pink, blue and black and items incorporating zebra prints, bows and skulls to choose from.
If you’re looking for more custom made items to match this theme or items such as garlands, pom poms, toppers etc – have a browse through the Handmade & Custom Decor category on the children’s party directory.

As I mentioned before – mix character based supplies with neutral supplies. So if you are using Monster High plates use plain napkins. Or use a Monster High tablecloth with plain plates etc.

I think hiring a modern table such as this one would really suit this theme for the older kids:

Since this party is for older girls you could get away with styling a lolly buffet with glass candy jars. Here are a few places to hire a collection from. For more businesses including ones in other states, visit the Hire category on the children’s party directory.
