Picking the location can be one of the most difficult tasks for some people, because they want everything to be perfect. Just remember, you child is going to have a great time no matter where the party is as long as their friends are there So pick something that is convenient for you. I have listed a few ideas to help you get started.
* Home: I feel this location is suitable no matter what theme you are having, unless it is an Away-from-home Theme. I would hope a Barbie party wouldnt get as rowdy as, lets say, a Backwards Party. I am sure no matter how you plan this party, whether in the house or outside, will be one of your greatest parties ever!
* Ice Rink: If you have access to a local Ice Rink, that would make an Ultimate Party Setting. When I think of a Barbie Theme, I see winter weather, ice, snow, etc. Not saying the Ice Rink is the only location to have the party, but with a little imagination, it could turn into the Ultimate Party Location
* Gym: Like I said earlier, no matter where you have the party, its going to be great. Why not opt for a larger location which gives you more room for the food, games, etc. Call your local school or church and see if they rent out their gym. I figure, if you have the money in your budget to rent a party location, having the party away from your home will be less stressful on you!

Looking for the Ultimate Invitation to get your party started in the right direction? Do you excited about throwing a Barbie Theme Party and want the guests to get excited to? Then put together the Ultimate Invitation to send out and your guests will not be able to wait until that party starts! I’ve put together some ideas to get that invitation started. Just take these ideas as-is or change them around a bit, but get those thoughts in your head on paper before they disappear. Ask the guests to dress in royal garb…
* Prince/Princess: Start by reviewing our ultimate collection of Barbie pictures and clip art. Pick out one of the pictures and save it to your desktop. Use a simple word processing program to make the invitation. Put the picture you saved on the front of the invitation and in the background on the inside. Buy colored invitation envelopes and mail each one out from Princess “child’s name” to the appropriate Prince or Princess.
* Burnt Invite: First, purchase some unbleached parchment paper and write the info for the party on the front. Then take a lighter and very carefully burn the edges. Roll them in purple wrapping paper tied with curling ribbon and insert a mini rose. Ask the guests to dress in royal garb…
* Mommy and Me: Either purchase or make the invitations with Barbie on the front. In each of the invitations, using a glitter pen, write “announcing the Mommy & Me princess party”. Request that all princesses be in their favorite princess attire

Picking out, setting up and fine tuning the decorations can be a long tedious process. But, with a little planning and creativity, it can be one of the most rewarding experiences of the party. I have put together a lot of different decoration ideas for your house or wherever you throw the party. Take a look at them and pick out some. If there is any assembling or creativity involved, I have included instructions on how to do it. I want your party to be a simple and rewarding experience for you. Have fun and don’t forget to be creative…
Before the princess and all her friends arrive to the party location, we need to think…What would a castle look like inside? Where would the decorations go? What colors should they be? Think about how you want to setup the party before reading the decoration ideas. That way you won’t be limited to my list, it will simply add to yours. Be creative, there are no boundaries to decorations.
Before we get started in decorating the castle, take a look at our ultimate selection of Barbie coloring pages to help you decorate. You can have you kids color them and put them around the house or just hang them up as-is, it’s all up to you. Just don’t forget to check it out!
How are the guests going to know where the party is? Of course you added the address, but that might not be enough. Place some solid color balloons on your mailbox to identify the party location. But that’s not enough. Make sure there are enough balloons to decorate the whole party area. For some reason kids are mesmerized by balloons and I don’t know why. Try and have enough for each child to take home, it will make a great party favor.
Looking for the Ultimate Party Decoration that kids will be talking about for months after they leave? Check out this Princess Castle. Your child and guests will love to play and make believe all day in this perfect decoration.
You don’t have the money allotted in your budget for the princess castle, but still want it. Are you creative? Good…here is an excellent idea to turn a box into a castle. Get a huge empty cardboard box and cover it with paper and draw rectangles with a marker to make it look like stone. Sponge paint some stars and flowers on it also. Be creative and turn that box into a wonderful castle.
No party is complete without having some confetti around the party area. You can place it on the tables, chairs, counters or wherever your heart desires. This castle confetti fits in perfect with your theme. Or maybe you want some Happy Birthday confetti. Either one, they are a great addition to the decoration area.
Now wouldn’t some princess buttons make a great decoration and party favor. Don’t be surprised if some of your guests are wearing them months after the party…
Need something to decorate that plain ceiling? How about some streamers? Here is a great selection of crepe, gossamer and many more types of streamers. Don’t hold back, you can’t ever have too many streamers around the party area! To create colorful two tone streamers, put two differently colored streamers back-to-back, twist as you walk them to the wall, and attach at shoulder height.
Tie bows with Sparkle Netting across the top of each chair back. The bows can be cut to any length and even look lovely with tails trailing on the floor. Make bows to hang anywhere and everywhere…chairs, doorways, gift packages or table-ends. The bows hold their shape beautifully at a fraction of the cost of wired ribbon.
These are just a few ideas to help you get started for your Ultimate Barbie Child Party Idea. Take the ideas you like and transform them into the ultimate party. Good luck and have fun.

Bubbles and Body Jewels are always a big hit, and both are perfect Ice Breaker Activities. Let those who arrive early get be-jeweled and play with bubbles while they wait for all the guests to arrive.
Gather up all the fun dress-up clothing you can find around your house (or borrow from your friends)…fun, frilly, foo-foo dresses, Feather Boas, high heeled shoes, etc. Let the children start dressing up and prepare themselves for the festivities that are about to begin.
There are several craft kits available for your guests to do while they are waiting for everyone to arrive.
Have each child decorate a Fairy Tale Princess hat. Buy pink poster board and roll it into a coned shapte. Decorate them by gluing heart, lips, and flower shaped confetti to the hat and then have each child choose pink or purple ribbon of tulle to hang down from the top of the hat.
Give the children different Barbie coloring pages for them to color. After they have finished, hang them up around the party area. You can also give these coloring pages back to the children as they are leaving the party.

Picking out the perfect food, refreshments, treats and cake should be a fun experience. Think of clever names for each item that relates back to the Barbie theme. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Barbie Theme Party Food
* Finger sandwiches: Make your child’s favorite types of sandwiches and cut them into fun shapes with cookie cutters. Put a colorful food pick in each one that matches the colors of your theme.
* Twinkle Stars: Make your famous sugar cookies and cut them into stars. You can either decorate them before the children arrive or have them do it at the party as an activity.
* Setup a food line and serve items such as, tacos, strawberries, pineapple on a stick, Doritos, cheese, grapes, carrot sticks, etc…
* Hot Dogs & Chips
* Pigs in a Blanket: Take a croissant and cut it in half. Place a hot dog in the middle with some strips of cheese. Bake in the oven until cheese has melted. The children will love these.
Barbie Theme Refreshments
* You can serve the drinks that children love, such as, Capri Suns, Koolaid Koolers, Koolaid Jammers, boxed juice, etc.Barbie Theme Party Treats

Deciding on whether you are going to make or buy the Ultimate cake is a tough decision. It mainly depends on how much time you have and how many guests are coming. I would suggest for a smaller party, you try and make that Ultimate cake. But if there is going to be a large number of guests, maybe a large cake made by the baker might is the best decision. It’s up to you, but here is an idea on making a Barbie cake.
