Despite the fact that her brother’s birthday is less than a month away (OMG), Annie is already talking about her next birthday. Sometimes she tells me she’s having a Lego party, and other times it’s absolutely, positively going to be a Frozen Birthday Extravagaaaaaanza. I know a lot of you have kids who want to celebrate their birthdays with Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and the gang, so Jen and I put together another party board!
Food and Drink
~ Snowflake Cupcakes – Snowy cupcakes, YUM.
~ Blue “ice” Jell-O – I love things that are clever and easy like this!
~ Frozen Punch – You could also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and call it a snowball.
Other ideas: Soup, Roast, and Ice Cream (what Anna wants to serve at her wedding!), snowcaps and blue & white M&Ms out in dishes, snow cones, ice cubes in snowflake
Party Wear
~ Anna and Elsa dresses – These handmade dresses are absolutely adorable, and a great alternative for the Disney-made
~ DIY Olaf Shirt – I am so tempted to make one of these for myself, just to wear to the grocery store.
Other ideas: Hair braiding station, reindeer antlers
Games and Favors
~ Snowball Toss – You can even get the kids involved in making the snowmen cups!
~ Olaf Bags – The googly eyes are the perfect touch.
~ Snowball PlayDoh – Stick this PlayDoh in small mason jars
Other ideas: sugar cube ice castle building (use this recipe as “concrete”), indoor snowball fight
Decor
~ Paper snowflakes – Paper snowflakes are easy, and look so pretty.
~ Coffee filter trees – They are simple but look amazing.
~ Marshmallow garland – I’d want to eat it!
Other ideas: White yarn pompoms, rock candy

So fun! Thanks so much for sharing our DIY Olaf Shirts. My boys LOVE them! We had a whole big Frozen party too – so much fun!
Katie says:
Frozen party here tomorrow! Using powdered donut holes as snowballs and making tea sandwiches using a snowflake cookie cutter! Thanks for the ideas!
Courtney says:
I saw an idea for Pin the Nose on the Snowman for Pinterest that I thought was super cute. Love the blue jello “ice” and the decor ideas. Now I’m going to have “Do you want to have a par-tee?” stuck in my head all day!

We’re having a Frozen party for my daughter’s 5th birthday in June. Ideas I’ve seen include baby carrots for Olaf’s nose, green grapes for the trolls, and strawberries for the hearts. Love the blue ice!
Jordan says:
This is all so cute! And. . . I still haven’t seen Frozen. (I KNOW. Don’t tell Annie ). Now that college and finals are over for the year (Hallelujah) I plan on seeing it.
Will James’s birthday party have a theme?
Pattie says:
Thanks for the great ideas. I need to bookmark this post since Coraline has not wavered since Frozen came out that her 4th birthday party will be a Frozen one. That’s assuming nothing else changes her mind between now and September. You know how toddlers can be.

OK, so we went to a Frozen bday party (5 year old girl) last weekend and Elsa and Anna were there in person!!!!!!!! I was like wow, I didn’t know Disney licensed out those characters outside of Disneyland/world, and received a jaded eyeroll in response. I guess … it doesn’t? But the Elsa and Anna were dressed to the nines and pretty convincing and they had the best shtick EVER: they had a little handheld speaker thing and just blasted Let it Go and Do You Want to Build a Snowman, and all the kids just screamed along and danced around (some of the grownups might have sung along a little bit too). Huge success.

We totally had a damn Frozen party at our house this year, too.
Emily says:
Love all your party ideas! We may be using some of the super hero ideas for my son’s 4th birthday. My youngest is turning one in November, I’m thinking about a thanksgiving/Turkey theme. Something like our little Turkey is turning 1. Any ideas? I’ve also briefly thought of doing a joint “brothers” themed bday since their birthdays are within 2 weeks of each other. It’s exciting that it is their first year of being brothers! I’d love to hear some ideas??
Patty says:
I found the most adorable frozen cupcakes made to look like olaf! I can’t figure out how to send you the pin (on pinterest). can you email me the way to get the pin to you? just a grandma here, love your site, been following for a long time and really think you have found a nitch with party planning!

My niece just had a Frozen party for her 5th birthday and Elsa came – it was awesome! She had little round powdered sugar donuts, chocolate chips, and Cheetos, out with a sign that said, Do you want to build a snowman? She had centerpieces made out of blue and white rock candy lollipops and lots of gorgeous snowflakes hanging. They played pin the nose on the snowman with Olaf of course. Elsa took them all to princess school and told them the 1st rule of being a princess is you must obey your parents at all times, she also taught them how to curtsey, twirl, and wave like a princess. They dressed up, she put make up on them, and they had their own Princess fashion show. The kids loved it. She gave each of the kids a princess school certificate and a “real” diamond princess crown. Then they all had a dance party as Elsa sang Let It Go. I only wish she had brought crowns for the adults too – still sad I didn’t get one. Oh well maybe I’ll have my own Frozen party one day.

We went to a Frozen birthday party and the favor was “do you want to build a snowman”: a bag filled with marshmallows, pretzels, chocolate chips and a tiny carrot nose. Super cute and easy.

I’m attempting to plan a summer “Mommy-to-Bee” Bee/Butterfly-Themed baby shower for my sister, who has decided to be a “waiter” (no gender reveal until baby arrives)! I’m scouring Pinterest, but I really have no idea where to begin. Suggestions welcome.
