Cupcake Birthday Party Theme!

Host a Cupcake Themed Birthday Party!

Cupcakes are so adorable that they are the perfect treat to inspire a fun and delicious birthday party for girls of any age!  Plan to carry the cupcake theme through the entire birthday celebration from the invitations, to the menu, to the favors!

Cupcake Invitations

Invitation Jane –   This new site has a charming cupcake invitation with a pink and white polka dot border and a red, rhinestone cherry to attach to the top of the cake!  (pictured right, Cupcake Invitation)

DIY – Consider printing your party details on simple card stock cards, leaving an inch or two blank at the bottom.  Cut cupcake papers in half and use as a trim for your cards!  Instead of traditional envelopes, package your invitation in a cellophane bag and tie with a pretty ribbon.  (hand delivery may be necessary!)

Fill in the Blanks

• For a 1st birthday, Celebrate Express offers a package of 8 festive cupcake invitations that you can easily complete by hand – pink for girls and blue for boys!  ( Cupcake 1st Birthday Invitations)
• Another cute choice from Parties for Lori features cupcakes displayed on a fancy cake stand!  (pictured right, Cake Stand Invitations)
• Coordinating Paper Goods are available for both of these invitations!

Cupcake Themed Paper Goods

Celebrate Express

At Celebrate Express you’ll find their  Lil’ Cupcake Birthday theme will provide all of the paper party supplies you’ll need for a 1st or 2nd year old’s cupcake themed birthday party. Available in pink for girls and blue for boys. (Lil’ Cupcake 1st Birthday Paper Supplies, Lil’ Cupcake 2nd Birthday Party Pack)

Plates & Napkins

I love these paper plates and napkins tagged “Cupcake Carousel!”  With a pink and white polka dot border circling a three tier tray laden with cupcakes, these are appropriate for a birthday or a “just because” party! (pictured right, Cupcake Carousel)

Parties by Lori – a third cute choice from this terrific source features a curvy cake stand with lots of cupcakes!  Cups, napkins, plates and more are available!  (Cupcake Party Goods)

Cupcake Themed Party Activities

• Plan to spend a portion of the party time decorating cupcakes to be eaten later for dessert! Look for details for assembling your “cupcake bar” below!
• Play the perfect party game – Pass the Present!

Cupcake Themed Menu

Of course, this party theme requires that cupcakes be served for every course!!

Dinner Cupcakes

Each of these main dish recipes is baked in cupcake pans and sure to be a hit with the guests!

• Potato Chip Frittatas
• Pizza Pouches
• Colorful Meatloaf Cupcakes
• Sausage Meatloaf Cupcakes with Creamy Potato Frosting

Dessert Cupcakes

• Decorate Your Own Cupcake Bar – using either home baked or store bought cupcakes (without icing), set up a make your own dessert bar!  Using a disposable tablecloth, set out vanilla and chocolate icing, sprinkles, mini M & M’s, chocolate chips, crushed oreos, skittles and any other favorites candies and let the kids go to town!  (Wilton Cupcake Decorating Set)
• Bake a Supersized Cupcake Cake – using a Wilton cake mold, bake one giant cupcake that can actually be shared by all of the party goers!  (Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan)

Cupcake Party Favors

The choices for party favors are almost endless!  With great restraint, here are a few ideas:

• Aprons -  pick up a chef’s apron perfectly sized for a little one!  When I used these as a party favor for my daughter, I had the girls’ names embroidered on the front and trimmed the aprons with a matching ribbon! (Chef’s Apron, Little Girls’ Chef Party)
• Lip Gloss – four cupcake shaped lip glosses arrive packaged in a “gift ready” box!  (Cupcakes & Cartwheels Lip Gloss Set)
• Soaps – cute little cupcake soaps have chocolate scented frosted tops for the bath or shower! (Cupcake Soaps)
• Personalized Cookies – delicious and gorgeous cupcake shaped cookies feature your choice of wording and cellophane packaging! (Cupcake Cookies)
• Tiny Towels – towels fashioned into vanilla or chocolate cupcakes are so sweet and practical, too! (Cupcake Towels)
  
• Mints- send your guests home with a sweet reminder of the party with a personalized tin of mints! (Cupcake Mints)
• Faux Cupcakes – it will be easy for kids to remember this party long after the last cupcake has been eaten with the soft, carefully detailed play versions from Oompa Toys!  Wrap each one individually in a cellophane bag with a pretty ribbon. (pictured at top, Sweet Trio Muffins)
• Cupcake Favor Box – Available from Celebrate express, Girl’s or Boy’s Lil’ Cupcake Favor Box
