Invitations
So, in order to have a Minnie Mouse-themed birthday party, you need to think about original invitations. They can be printed on thick paper with the image of our heroine, and then write the names of the guests. You can make them in white, black and pink colors.
For a standard card, choose a pink background and an image of the main character of the cartoon - this will be quite enough for a regular invitation. If you want to create something more creative, you can cut out cards from colored cardboard, making their edges curly, and decorating them with a gold figurine in the form of a head with ears. Well, the most interesting option is a postcard in the shape of a head with ears, on which is tied a cheerful pink bow with white polka dots.
Voice acting
Minnie was first voiced by Walt Disney, who was also the original voice of Mickey Mouse. Marjorie Ralston, a Disney actress, voiced her in a cartoon in 1929. She was then voiced by Marcelline Garner from 1929 to 1939. Then, from 1941 to 1942, and on the radio program The Mickey Mouse Theater of Air, she was voiced by Thelma Boardman. After this, from 1942 to 1952, Ruth Clifford provided the character's voice. Janet Waldo voiced Minnie in the 1974 Disneyland album performed by The Walt Disney Players. Currently, Russi Taylor has been voicing Minnie since 1986.
Birthday decoration in Minnie Mouse style
Start by choosing a color scheme. Traditionally it is red, black and yellow, but in holiday decorations for girls, red is often replaced with pink - bright caramel, pastel or juicy glamor. The atmosphere will be stylish and gentle if you use gray instead of black.
After guests are invited, you need to think about decorating the room; it can be an apartment or a cafe. To do this, think over a tablecloth, napkins, dishes, balls and posters with symbols and images of our heroine. You can also use balloons to make numbers showing the age of the birthday girl.
Here are some options for birthday party paraphernalia in the Minnie Mouse style:
Actively use the photo of the birthday boy himself - place a couple of pictures in a pink or red frame. You can decorate the frame with ribbons and ears, or you can process the photo itself in a graphics editor and print out a “Disney” version of the little birthday girl in the image of Minnie Mouse.
Table decoration in the style of Minnie Mouse
After the room for the holiday is decorated, you should think about the holiday table. In the culinary department you can order a cake with Minnie Mouse, and it is also worth baking liver or cupcakes, which should be decorated with a picture of Minnie. You can also arrange salads in the shape of Minnie Mouse, which will also look very original.
Here are some themed ideas for a Minnie Mouse themed holiday table:
It is also advisable to choose black or pink cutlery, as well as napkins. We decorate the cutlery with Minnie figures or simply decorate it with a napkin folded in a bow.
A candy bar wouldn’t be complete without a red-black or pink-black color scheme. Here, as in the decoration of the entire holiday, polka dots are relevant.
It’s easy to make sweets for a candy bar at home - Minnie ears can be made from either fondant or round chocolate cookies. For drink bottles, we prepare labels with white polka dots with the image of a cartoon heroine.
Favorite and cheerful characters will become a colorful decoration on your birthday girl’s delicious cake and will gather the whole cheerful children’s company of boys and girls around the table.
Movies
Mickey: Once Upon a Christmas
In Mickey: Once Upon a Christmas, Minnie is Mickey's hard-working friend who, despite her hard work, is always in debt. She works in a large store owned by Mortimer Mouse. She plans to use her Christmas bonus to buy a gift for Mickey, but she ends up getting a fruit cake. She eventually trades her precious watch for a case for Mickey's beloved harmonica, but Mickey trades her harmonica for Minnie's watch chain. Eventually, however, they realize that their love is enough and they enjoy Christmas together.
Three Musketeers. Mickey, Donald, Goofy
In the 2004 film Mickey Donald Goofy: The Three Musketeers, Minnie plays the role of the reigning princess of France (and likely the daughter of King Louis XIII and Queen Anne, since this film can be considered a sequel to the original Three Musketeers story) who constantly dreams about finding your true love, who turns out to be Mickey. She is also the only monarch who stands in the way of Pete's plans, who cannot take over the kingdom unless he can get rid of her. Interestingly, for this particular film, Minnie is drawn with bangs, which does not appear in any later cartoons. In this film, Princess Minnie wants nothing more than to find her true love in life, however, she must put that dream on hold after she escapes a plot to murder the Beagle boys. She demands that her musketeer captain, Pete, find her bodyguards. Unbeknownst to Minnie, PETE is the mastermind of the murder plot and wishes to rule France as king. To avoid a threat to his plan, Pete hires three janitors, Mickey, Donald and Goofy, as bodyguards for the Musketeers, believing they will do a terrible job. Minnie then quickly falls in love with Mickey as soon as she sees him. After escaping a kidnapping scheme, Mickey and Minnie embrace their forbidden love on a date night across the kingdom. That night, Mickey, Donald and Goofy are kidnapped by Pete and his henchmen. The next evening, Minnie and Daisy go to the Grand Opera. There she learns about Pete's plans and is captured. However, during the course of the show, Minnie and Daisy are saved. Minnie calls the trio the "Royal Musketeers" and presumably marries Mickey after this.
Mickey: And again at Christmas
In Mickey's Christmas Time Again, Minnie and Daisy compete in an ice skating competition. Despite her excitement, Minnie is worried about the fact that she might not be as good as the other contestants. Minnie begins her performance with the alligators from "Fantasia" to help her and is quickly praised. Daisy gets jealous and jumps into the spotlight. To continue her performance, Daisy has the Hippos from Fantasia to help her. A battle of rivals ensues. In the end, Daisy pulls off an impressive feat. Minnie decides to make her own, but injures herself in the process. Daisy rushes to her friend to console her. They compose and finish the performance together in the grand finale. In the Mickey and Pluto segment, Minnie hopes that Mickey will decide to have a simple Christmas party instead of going overboard like he does every year. When Pluto goes missing, Minnie is the first to be notified. She tells her friends about this, including Scrooge McDuck, who volunteers to buy a snow removal company to search for Pluto in the city. Minnie, Scrooge, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Max, Billy, Willie and Dilly spend the whole day looking for a snowplow. They eventually make it to Mickey's house, where Pluto was found. They all enter the house to sing carols and celebrate Christmas.
Other films
Although Minnie did not officially appear in "Merry and Lighthearted", a scene of her as Queen of Happy Valley was planned for inclusion in the episode "Mickey and the Beanstalk" before the decision was made to remove her from the film. In this scene, Mickey came to her to sell her his cow and in exchange she gave him magic beans. In the live-action/animation hybrid film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Minnie made a small non-speaking cameo at the very end of the film with Mickey and a crowd of many other cartoon characters.
Photo zone and photo attributes
In addition to standard photo attributes in the form of mustaches, sponges, glasses, we make attributes in the form of ears, gloves, bows. Attributes can be combined with each other to make the photos fun and unusual.
A simple option for a homemade home photo zone is a few paper fans decorated with Minnie figures and her accessories.
Garlands, streamers, photo collages
We make a themed garland from paper figures in the shape of Minnie’s head. You can diversify it with paper bows, gloves, and hearts. An interesting idea is to tie small tulle bows onto the elements of the garland.
We also make streamers in the shape of Minnie - this is the most popular design option for a holiday in this theme. Another way is to print and cut out the letters of congratulations and add ears to them. An unusual idea - we supplement the stretching elements with photographs of the birthday girl and get a festive photo collage.
Another option for a photo collage is to place the photo on a large black template in the shape of Minnie’s head.
Suits
If we talk about children's clothing for a Minnie Mouse-themed party, you can rent or buy a fancy dress costume. Mothers who are needlewomen can sew a dress for their child from red fabric with white polka dots. You can simplify the task and get by with recognizable “mouse” accessories, such as round black ears, white gloves, bright shoes and a chic bow.
And so that our guests are also in holiday style, we give them cute caps with ears and bows at the entrance. A more interesting option is hoops with ears, and girls will certainly like bright bows on hairpins or elastic bands that they can wear all evening and then take with them as a souvenir of the holiday.
Lantern balls
You can’t do a holiday without such traditional decor as balloons. The easiest option is to purchase foil balloons in the shape of Minnie Mouse's face.
If you want something more stylish, you will have to put in a little effort and make Minnie's head out of a Chinese lantern and paper pompoms, decorating it with a large pink bow.
Games and competitions
Children at the holiday love dance competitions and funny tasks. For example, you could ask participants to attach a Minnie bow with their eyes closed. The results of blind creativity are always very funny.
Play an intellectual quiz: let the children remember as many “relatives” of the mouse from the cartoon about Mickey Mouse as possible. These can be mice from a variety of cartoons, fairy tales or movies.
And so that the children don’t get bored, you can also dress up as cartoon characters and amuse the children with magic tricks, blowing soap bubbles or scenes from the TV series about little mice. Do some face painting: let each child’s face turn into a funny “face” of Minnie Mouse. At the end of the celebration, bring in a multi-colored cake with candles that the birthday girl will have to blow out.
Comic quiz
- Is Minnie Mouse a bear, a monkey or a mouse?
- Who is Minnie Mouse for Mickey Mouse - a talkative neighbor, a pet or a faithful girlfriend?
- Does Minnie Mouse usually have an umbrella, a candy wrapper, a bow on her head?
- Does Minnie Mouse have bright patches on her paws, chocolate stains or white gloves?
- Is Minnie Mouse's kitten called Pierrot, Bucket, Figaro?
Catch Pluto
Throw rings on pins/bottles with a picture of Pluto. Rings: several rounds of cardboard glued together for weight. The older the children, the further the distance and the greater the weight the “projectile” should have. Since this is a children's party, and even for girls, gluing colored paper in the Minnie Mouse style over the rings is a small thing, but will add the props to the atmosphere.
Don't Wake Pete
One of the parents in the role of Pete is a fat cat with a bad character. Pete lies on the floor, closing his eyes and snoring. Scattered around it are pieces of yellow foam rubber - cheese (the more, the merrier). You need to quietly sneak up and steal the treat (1 approach - 1 piece). Pete sometimes wakes up, wants to grab the impudent little mice, grumbles terribly - the children run away screaming until the cat goes back to sleep.
Bring Daisy's cake
Place a life-size silhouette or a toy at the finish line, although you can get by. The goal is to carry the balloon lying on the plate. For schoolchildren with one hand, let the kids carry the plate in two hands. You can race.
Mouse race
A strip of fabric with holes that parents hold at some distance from the floor. You need to go through the “track”, stepping into the slots. You can wobble the fabric, it will be even more fun, but only if these are not really kids - they will fall! According to the script, to fit the game into the Minnie Mouse style, it will be a huge piece of cheese (yellow fabric).
Catch the tail
Ribbons of the same length are attached to the belt, like ponytails (with Velcro to the dress, if not, something to tuck in). The children dance to cheerful music until the leader suddenly shouts “Grab it!” You have to steal anyone’s ribbon, but don’t let them steal your own. Everyone runs away in all directions until the leader says “Stop” - they dance again until “Grab.” And so on until you get tired of it.
Note that parties in this style are often held by adult groups, but they are more glamorous in nature. Decorating a house and celebrating a birthday in the style of Minnie Mouse is what a children's group needs. Take more photos. To do this, you can make a special area with pillows, toys, balls. The photos will turn out colorful and interesting.
