DIY: Frozen Birthday Theme

Are your kids obsessed with Disney’s Frozen? No wonder. The 3D computer-animated movie inspired by Scandinavian nature and culture took the world by storm in 2013, and won two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song (“Let It Go”). It ranks as the highest-grossing animated feature of all time.

Arrange a Frozen themed party, and we guarantee you’ll be named parent of the year. Here’s a few tips to make the party a success.

Budget

When it comes to the budget, you can go big or you can go small. The party will be a success either way. As long as you are creative and willing to spend a few hours preparing for the party, it will be great.

Big budget: Rent a party venue, sound and light system, food and drink services, and cleanup services. Some people prefer to outsource the party planning as well. Anything can be rented nowadays, as long as you can pay for it.

Small budget: Have the party at your house, make the decorations and food yourself, and ask family and friends for help. Don’t be afraid to ask for a helping hand when you need it.

Choice of Colors

The colors for your Frozen themed party should be white, silver, and different shades of blue. Try to emphasize a light blue and turquoise color palette to resemble the cold ice. Use pink and purple for the details.

Decorations

Make Olaf-decorations out of mugs, cakes, cardboard, and cups. Thanks to the carrot nose and the goofy smile, he is easy to make and recognize.

If your kids are demanding a Frozen themed birthday party, chances are your house is already filled with Frozen merchandise. Take it all out, and use it!

Use pom-poms, balloons, and banners in the theme colors for decoration, and place them strategically. Cut out little snow crystals and sprinkle them all around. Remember, when it comes to a kids birthday party, more is more.

Don’t forget to decorate the food. Cupcakes, marshmallow pops, and other sweets are easy to make and style. Candy floss can resemble snow, white powdered donuts can act as snowballs, and carrot snacks resembles Olafs nose. Use your imagination!

Outfits

The birthday boy or girl should be dressed as their favorite Frozen character. Use wigs, tutu skirts, crowns, antlers, boots, and vests to recreate one of the characters. Remember to stick to the color palette and emphasize easily recognizable features.

Activities

There are a lot of activities you can spin to suit the theme. Here are a few:

  • Coloring pre-printed pages
  • Face painting
  • Build your own snowman
  • Throwing snowballs
  • Pin the nose
