Planning a Ballerina Birthday Party

Decorating and Menu Ideas

Ballerina Party Decorations and Food

  • A canopy can be formed over the center of a table using colored streamers. Streamers should cascade from a bow in the middle to the sides of the room.
  • Go to a thrift store (or your grandmother’s cedar closet) and collect old hats, boas, gloves, scarves, dresses, shoes, costume jewelry - the fancier the better. You can also get old men’s jackets, ties, top hats. Put the dress-up clothes in an old truck, box or large basket in the party room. You can paint a fancy backdrop or arrange a staging area for picture taking (in costumes). If you don’t have a Polaroid, then mail the pictures with thank-yous. Note: You may want to ask guests to wear tightly fitted clothes like leotards, bike shorts, etc. so that their clothing doesn’t inhibit the dress-up play.
  • Set up a makeup/vanity area with makeup and a full length mirror. Later, you can use it for the Beauty Salon Activity. Cut out pictures of models from a magazine. You can paste them to cardboard and stand them up around the makeup area, in the center of the table or tie them to balloon strings.
  • Set up a separate small area for your ballerinas to have refreshments by laying out a colorful blanket or quilt. You can “set it” by using small doll plates, cups and silverware, which can be purchased cheaply at most dollar stores.
  • Purchase a number of pieces of plastic beaded necklaces or bracelets and use them to ring cupcakes or drink cups.
  • Use flower or heart shaped-cookie cutters to make tea biscuits and sandwiches. Pink sandwiches can be created by baking challah bread and using a few drops of red food coloring in the dough.
  • Use various doll accessories, such as purses, blow-dryer, cell phone, brushes, etc. as cake toppers to decorate the cake.
