Minnie Mouse Birthday Party Centerpiece Ideas

Since Minnie Mouse has charmed children for generations, making a birthday party with a Minnie Mouse theme will delight guests of all ages. Minnie's signature colors are red and white polka dots, plus black for those famous ears, so the decor, cake and party favors should all reflect this. When it comes to a Minnie Mouse centerpiece, you can get creative and tie the whole Minnie Mouse birthday party theme together.

Use a Minnie Mouse figurine (either plastic or ceramic) as the focal point for this centerpiece. Purchase three Styrofoam disks in three different sizes. Spray paint the disks hot pink and let dry. Press silk daisies (snipped about 1 inch below the petals) into the edge of the Styrofoam to make a floral ring around each disk. Stack the disks from largest on the bottom to smallest on top, making a large circular staircase. Place the Minnie figurine on top with a paper doily and place a few daisies near her feet.

Make an edible centerpiece with Minnie Mouse cupcakes. Make twenty-four cupcakes and arrange them in the shape of Minnie's head (one large circle and two smaller ones). Frost the ears and some of the head cupcakes with dark chocolate, and the rest of them pink for her face. Add frosting details such as eyes, nose and mouth. Tie a red polka dot bow out of fabric and place on top of the centerpiece's head. Sprinkle glitter around the display tray for a striking and delicious centerpiece.

Locate a dozen full-color pictures of Minnie about two inches tall---check clip art online or old cards or stickers. Cut them out and set aside. Gather twelve green pipe cleaners and green felt. Cut out leaves from felt and thread onto the pipe cleaner flower "stems." Attach the Minnie pictures to the top of the stems and arrange all twelve "flowers" into a colorful vase filled with glass pebbles, decorative rocks, or even red and white jelly beans.
