I meant to post this immediately after the shower but once our new little addition arrived my progress on the blog came to a screeching halt, while his arrival was relatively smooth considering my high risk complications after his birth I developed some quirky and very painful problems and so my recovery stunted my ability to post all the fun pictures of our Mickey Mouse themed Baby Showers! So I'm back and sharing my ideas for all you who are planning a Disney baby shower for all those Summer time babies!
Mickey Desserts:
Okay we LOVE cookies! Making, decorating and eating cookies is our jam in our family so although cookies are not always the ideal dessert to serve at a party (because they are time consuming and do not stay fresh for long) we ventured to decorate our own Mickey themed baby cookies. After looking at posts on Instagram and Pinterest ideas we went for it and decorated some of my very favorite cookies ever! I know we're not decorating professionals and I'm sure many of you could do a much better job but it was fun for us to generate our own ideas off of other ideas we had seen so if you're like me here are some fun ideas to add to your own!
Mickey Baby Shower Game:
I'll be honest I'm not the biggest baby shower game fan, some are fun and some are a lot to take in... but one game that we love to do for bridal and baby showers is a memory game that comes with corresponding themed candy for the winner of the matches. For example matches on the board included: "Baby Laundry" and the person who won that match get a "Mounds" Bar or "Dad" and the winner gets a "Big Hunk" or "Baby Giggles" and the winner gets a "Sinckers" bar... I like this because even if you played it at a previous shower no one is made to get candy and I seriously doubt that the matches will be in the same place as the last shower so it's new all over again! But this is not inherently Disney themed and so to add just a touch of Mickey we made Baby Mickey themed numbered cards with a Mickey Baby and Disney Font numbers! We loved how this turned out and it kept the theme consistent.
Mickey Favors:
We LOVE Chocolate Caramel Dipped Pretzels as favors! They are the perfect little treat for people to take with them and save for later or snack on on the way home. We did the pretzel rod wrapped in caramel then dipped in chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate and then sprinkled with blue disco dust (aka edible glitter). That plus this cute Baby Mickey that says "Thanks for Coming to My Party" and we had the perfect little good bye treat!
Mickey Silverware Holder:
A simple and fun touch to the spread!
Mickey Cheese Cubes for kabobs:
We thought this was a fun way to have just a little hidden Mickey magic among our serving.
