Frozen Birthday party

My little girl is a HUGE fan of the movie Frozen, so when it came time for her Birthday party it was the obvious choice for the theme of her party. Pinterest became my best friend and enemy for this party because there are so many ideas out there for Frozen Birthday parties. I found it very overwhelming, not knowing really what direction I wanted to take with her party, other than I wanted it to be reasonably priced and fun.
In the end I think it turned out well and it was a fun time for all my daughters friends. I took some of the ideas I found and used them as much as I could within my budget.

Food Table:
I took a white drop cloth from the Dollar tree and used it as a backdrop behind the table. Some silver garland on sale after Christmas framed it out and I put it around the table. My husband cut out some snowflakes for me and I spray painted them blue. A last minute purchase I made was a 6.00 Frozen kit from Target that had a mountain backdrop and a bunch of cardboard/poster board Frozen characters. This was perfect because I didn't have time to draw them and it really brought it together. 

I would have liked to have gotten more blue tulle to put all the way around the table, but I wasn't really willing to spend more money on another role of tulle, but it gave the desired look I wanted even it if it doesn't cover all sides of the table.
 (In our kitchen we have a small table where the kids ate and I had snowflakes hanging down from the ceiling, which also came with the Frozen decorating kit. (that kit saved me a lot of time and energy!))
We had the party at dinner time, and unfortunately I didn't take any close up photographs of the food tags. I used Styrofoam balls from the dollar tree and stuck the food tags in them. I think it achieved the look of snowballs. On some of the tags I drew cutesie images and on others I used some of my daughters Frozen stickers. :)
Sandwiches: "We finish each others sandwiches!"
Meatballs: Stone Trolls
Cake Pops: Snowballs
Hershey Kisses: "What's that smell?...chocolate!!"
Carrot sticks and pretzel sticks: Sven's snacks
Bottled water: Melted ice
Funfetti Cupcakes
Snowflake  shaped Sugar Cookies: Snowflakes
Mac and Cheese
 Play Area: We put icicle lights someone gave us around our play area. This was a young kids party so there were not a lot of activities for the kids to do, they just play together and with the toys.


Entryway: As you walk in the front door there are a lot of hanging icicle lights from the ceiling in the foyer. there is also the mountain backdrop sheet that came in the Frozen kit from Target. My sister bought these adorable blue capes, I got the star wands for $1.00 each at Target and the crowns I tweaked from a bag of princess crowns at the Dollar Tree.

GAME: One game I made was called Snowman Slam. I took Styrofoam cups drew snowman faces on them and took some Styrofoam balls and put them in a tub and called it snowman slam!
Above this I put some blue icicle lights someone gave us and I drew Olaf.
 The Kristoff and Sven images came from the Frozen kit I bought. I also had little goody bags of things I found on sale after Christmas that were Frozen related. They were cute little make up and nail polish kits.
