Ohana90....Insane party planner

[Ohana90]

Im losing my mind and cannot think of what else I need to make.
As some of you know, I am hosting a MASSIVE 3rd birthday party(100+) for my sweet baby boy. (3 is the big party in our house) The theme is MMCH (mickey mouse club house) Here is what I have done or had someone create for me but know I am missing ALOT of stuff but am going blank!! HELP rejump start my brain please!!

This is what is done so far:
Invitation with envelope ( i made)
Shirt- I made
Bag topper, can wrappers, flag, birthday chains, mint holder (Mel-Babear50)
Name tags (Tom) (pending)
Mine and daughters shirts (kellybell)(pending)
Straw toppers- me
lace mickeys activity-JT Dolly
Thank you card-me
Door hanger-will give as gift (Marions designs)
mickey ears-will hand make those
older son is going to transform the living room into MMCH park (buying white paper and covering the whole back wall, thank god hes an artist )

I even went on EBay and found a bunch of mickey head balloons (12)

I know I wanted to play Pin the tail on pluto, wake the giant, MMCH hot dog dance off, and other things, i cant seem to find a good design for mickeys feet or hands for the walkway, what else am i needing or am i psychotic and this is plenty. like i said, 3 is the big one

I'll upload some of my stuff if you all want to see my mindset. Oh and thanks everyone who has contributed. I swear I am severe Disney obsessive compulsive, is that such a disorder.....

WHAT? No one would bake for me.... Just kidding.
I am baking a mickey head shaped angel food cake. (son is highly allergic to dairy so regular cake is out) Im just going with red, blue and yellow napkins, no point in spending a butt load on something people utilize as trash , placemats would be a good idea. Hadnt thought of that. Probably would need 3 different designs if anyone is for the taking.
I am having a hard time finding good single mmch clip art. Software i use doesnt give me a cut option. (my dilemma)

Thanks for the suggestion

For those wondering why I am going so crazy over this, here is a little bio: Son has NEVER gotten to celebrate his bday. We normally have small 1st and 2nd bdays for our kids and make the 3rd a biggie,this is the time when they are getting the whole bday thing. Well my sons 1st birthday went not so well, we threw him a party, cake and all and this is how we found out he was very allergic to milk, he ate the cake and swelled up like a balloon and started gasping for air, , no more dairy for him. on to #2, day before party he wasnt feeling well so we gave him his normal breathing treatments, has asthma, didnt help so off to ER, had pneumonia and got hospitalized for a week. so this my friends is why i am going completely PSYCHO over this one. I want it to be SUPER special. One for the books for him and my family who have endure it all with us as well. Thansk for listening to my babble.
Here is me and my baby.....

 

[Ohana90]

So last night I created a few more things...

Crayon Box and centerpiece box (JT Dolly concept)
Poster for front door-me
cupcake toppers-(JT Dolly concept)

but still needing some good ideas. Anyone having any game ideas I could make beside the ones im already doing?

Oh and happy thursday!!

 

[Ohana90]

I have come to the conclusion that Dollar Tree is the DEVIL!!!!
I was just "dropping" in to see what they had and ended up spending over $60.
I completely wiped them out of all there MMCH stuff. I bought spin toppers, mini puzzles, kaleidiscopes,disc frisbees, paddle balls and they had mickey head shaped bubble wands!! Even founds pencils,slide puzzles and chalk stick holders with mickeys head on them.... Cool finds there boy. These party bags are gonna rock!!! I also went to walmart and bought 30 boxes of 24 crayons for 10c a piece. Saved me a bundle!!!

Now how the heck am I going to hide this stuff!!!!!

Now here is what I need from all my fellow DISers.
Help me come up with a cute little poem to put on the table topper. Im a dope when it comes to this stuff. PLeeeeaaaassseeee!!!!

Kelly,
It sounds like your planning a rockin' party! I wish I could be in Texas to see all of this cool stuff! I understand how you feel about this party.......... Danny spent his 5th birthday in the hospital, so I went all out for the his 6th!


Check VistaPrint.com for any "freebies" that they are offering. They do T-shirts, magnets, pens, window clings, tote bags and much more and I've never had a probem with them printing my Disney stuff!

By the way.......... sorry about the phone the other day. By the time I got home from work it was late. I'll give you a call next week!

Everything sounds AMAZING!!! I honestly don't believe you need anything else...your party will be spectacular!!!!! For future years...the best website for planning children's partys is www.birthdaypartyideas.com it's a website kind of like this one where mom's post exactly what they did for their party from decorations and cakes to games and favors. I LOVE IT!!!

The one thing that I like to do is set up a "photo" opportunity of some kind and have another family member (you will be way to busy for this role) to take pictures of each child as they come or later in the party if they are too shy at first. Then you can send it along with a "thank you" for coming to the party! I made trading cards for his second year sports party and inserted the kids into Neverland using Photoshop this year for our Neverland party.

Here are some quotes that you could use with your centerpiece...hope it helps:

Start off with "MEESKA MOOSKA MICKEY MOUSE" (spelling?)

Hip Hip Hooray
It's (Name) 3rd Birthday!

With Mickey, Minnie and Pluto too
this party would not be complete without you.

So play some games and have a ball.
(Child's Name or Mickey's) Clubhouse is fun for all.


OTHER IDEAS:

jump, roll and hop
the fun will never stop!

(NAME) birthday has been so great
Thanks for joining us to celebrate!

I love that you shared in my special day
you made it memorable in every way!

We are so glad that you came from far and near
to celebrate (NAME) Birthday as he starts another year!

Turning 3 is so much fun!!!
Thanks for making the party second to none!


Change the wording of the "hot dog song"...here are the lyrics with a few line changes that I put off to the side. (Or you could just put the original lyrics. I put the lyrics to the Neverland Song on one side of my centerpiece this year):

Hot dog! (Hot dog)
Hot dog!

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Now we got ears, it's time for cheers

Hot dog, hot dog, the problem's solved
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog

Grab my boots and a sandwich OR Grab some cake and a sandwich
Let's start a parade
Get the coconut drum kit
For Daisy to play

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
We're taking off, we're dancing now
Hot dog, leapfrog, and holy cow
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
It's a brand new day OR It's (NAME) birthday
Whatcha waiting for?
Get up, stretch out, stomp on the floor

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
We're splitting the scene
We're full of beans

So long for now from Mickey Mouse (That's me!) OR So long for now from (NAME) (That's me!)
And the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse



HERE IS WHAT I PUT ON MY FIRST YEAR CENTERPIECE...just to show you that it doesn't have to be long.

SIDE ONE:
I put a picture of my son above this wording:
Glad you came to my party,
I hope you have fun.
Another year has past,
and I’m no longer one.
Let’s play some games
and have a ball.
This party should be
fun for all.

SIDE TWO & FOUR:
the wording "JT's ALL STAR SPORTS PARTY"
with trading card of my son below it

SIDE THREE:
a short bio of "accomplishments", travels and fun things he did over his first two years


HOPE THIS HELPS WITH YOUR CENTERPIECE...

P.S. A girl's disney trip would be fun!!!

You could also steal from the lyrics of Caillou...although I still like the idea of doing something with the Hot Dog Song...

I'm just a kid who's three
Each day is fun to me
I like exploring
I'm (NAME).

So many things to do
Each day is something new
I'll share them with you
I'm (NAME).

My world is turning
Changing each day
With Mommy and Daddy
And finding my way!

Growing up is not so tough
Except when I've had enough
But there's lots of fun stuff
I'm (NAME).

That's me!

Maybe have some jokes ready to tell. My daughter is three and just loves:

What kind of car does Minnie drive........A Minnie Van.

She laughs histerickly when she tells the joke and I don't think she really understands it but loves it anyways.

 

[Ohana90]

Thanks for those wonderful ideas. I think I will definately use them. Gonna be short one tonight, have not been feeling the greatest. Its bronchitis season for me. and i think i got it.....damn prego smokers. For all those women who say smoking doesnt harm your child, give ME a call and i'll let you know the TRUTH!! Ya think I give my mom hell about this.. DARN TOOTING!!!

 

[Ohana90]

Well, like I said, Dollar TRee is EVIL!!! But the kids will love them so its all good.
Here are some pics
Crayon boxes i've made so far.

Mini discs, jump rope, bubbles and chalk holders:

Puzzles, cards, and playdoh

More puzzles, gliders , pencils and all the other "stuff" (too much to state)

 

[jtanddolly]

Great job on the crayon boxes...I'm glad to see that you were able to use some of the ideas from my Neverland party!!! Also, I didn't know it was possible to spend $60 in one trip at the Dollar Tree...although I'm sure I have spent that much over time as I tend to spend $5 everytime I go on Disney things and put them in my "disney box" for our next trip, or for the "cars" party I'm planning for next year.

 

[bababear_50]

My darlings you haven't shopped with me in a dollar store yet!


You ladies make me wish I could retire south of the border here and adopt you.

The Party sounds wonderful Hon.

Have Fun and Happy Birthday to the little guy.

Hugs Mel

 

[bababear_50]

maybe these might be of some use

Hugs Mel

 

[Ohana90]

Yes it is VERY possible to spend that much...but only for parties.
I think the expression on the cashiers face was worth more then the items. She looked at me like I was insane, so i told her i had 14 kids who loved mickey mouse. LMAO!!

 

[Ohana90]

Oh and thanks mel for the feet and glove as well as the cute poster. Your sooo sweet.

 

[bear74]

Well, like I said, Dollar TRee is EVIL!!! But the kids will love them so its all good.
