Boy/Girl Twin 1st Bday Party Ideas-Cricut

[TwinMamaTastic]

Hi everyone! I am planning my twins 1st bday party and bought the Cricut to make all of the decorations with. I have the following cartridges; Mickey Font, Mickey and Friends, Cupcake Wrappers, Cupcake (its different from the Cupcake Wrappers. Its a font.), Classic Font, and Playtime.

-I started making cupcake toppers by doing mickeys head on toothpicks, and I put some bows on 1/2 of them for Minnie.
-Im going to do cupcake wrappers, but I havent decided how yet. I was thinking of doing them red, but still need to choose a design.
-I cut out 4" Mickey heads for the invites. Im going to print the info on plain white printer paper, cut it out by hand, and glue it on. (Unless someone has a better idea)
-I made a Happy Birthday banner with 5" Mickey heads and put a red bow on every other letter.

The color scheme is red, black, and white to keep it as gender neutral as possible.

I wanted to hang some of those black and red paper oriental lamps or balls, but couldnt find them at a decent price. Im thinking I may just make balls out of tissue paper.

If anybody has any crafty decorating tips, food tips, or any ideas to add, please feel free! I am open to everything! My husband will be deployed, so I am doing it all myself. Their party is not until July, so Im trying to get an early start so I can go crazy and do all kinds of stuff, LOL!

I want to go Minnie and Mickey CRAZY!!

There is a thread on the food section of the boards that shows how to make Mickey cupcakes by crushing oreos and drusting that over the top of your cupcake and inserting 2 mini oreos for the ears. It was very cute and easy to do.

For the invite I would do a gate card with Mickey on one flap and Minnie on the other, but your idea sounds cute too.
