Hello Kitty Birthday Party Ideas!

My little Mitten turned 4!  And of course to celebrate we had a Hello Kitty party.   Emma & I were inspired by Tori Spelling's party for her daughter Stella which we watched on  TV earlier in the year.  We also drew inspiration from this amazing pinterest page -  http://pinterest.com/marisab/hello-kitty-party-ideas/.  Thank you Marisa Blakley you are beyond brilliant x


Hello Kitty party invitation

This was the invitation that I did up.  I created a polka-dot pattern using the Hello Kitty bows in the background.  Then on the back it was just plain polka-dots which we folded over.

We played lots of party games, including pin the bow on kitty!

gift bags
 These are our gift bags.  All had a thank you note included.  We hid them in the garden for the children to find them in a treasure hunt.  Inside each bag we had some Hello Kitty lipgloss, nailpolish, bracelet, tattoo & lollies.

Hello Kitty cake
 This cake was hard to make!  Do you know why?  Because it was so simple.  I am much better with lots of sprinkles & things.....  Anyhow I bought a giant slab from Woollies & then decorated it.  I used marzipan for the bow & nose which was tricky to do, black licquorice for the whiskers and black writing icing for the eyes & bow detail.  Doing the white icing was SO HARD!!!!!!!!!  After the fact I realized that I could have covered it with dessicated coconut to make it look gorgeous - so would recommend that to you if you are trying it at home.
hello kitty rings as toppers
This image is from the above pinterest page mentioned
Each kid got a Hello Kitty ring in a cupcake like the ones above.  I forgot to take of photo of mine, but trust me they were gorgeous.

cutting the cake
 Here we are cutting the cake.  It was enormous!  I couldn't get it out of the box as I did not have a platter big enough to put it on!
My girls Emma & Jessica (aka 'the mittens')
 My girls and all of their friends had a ball at the party!  Why my child is upside down I have no idea!
One very happy Birthday Girl
