    something that I always wanted to do if I had a little girl was have a Minnie's closet theme. I love everything Disney so it would basically be a dress up party but from Minnie Mouse's point of view.

    Candyland was going to be my suggestion.  I also like the Frog and the Princess theme. The girls can be the princesses and the little boys can be the prince.

    The only thing about Princess and The Frog and things like that is it is done by sooooooooooooooooo many people...and I like to be different...

    Thats why I wont do Yo Gabba Gabba, Sesame Street, etc...

    Call me crazy BUT I like to be different...

    I am leaning towards Candyland though but still trying to look at all my options...her birthday isnt until May...lol

    I know the feeling.  My daughter is 11 now but she has had a party every year and I am always trying to do something different.  I'll let you know if I think of anything.

    When I first read this post, I was like...What in the world??? Didn't Lil' Mama just have a birthday party, but then I got excited and had to respond.  I was going to suggest the Candyland/Willie Wonka theme as well.  I have always loved this movie as a kid and would like to have a party like this for my kids if we decide to have any.  Another idea that I have is not really a theme, just something that I thought would be fun and that is to have different little stations set up for the kids i.e. one for fingerpainting, board games or kiddie games, coloring, puzzles, etc.
    Some of my other party ideas are moreso for birthdays in the winter i.e. Polor Express Party idea .  If I think of anything else I will let you know.
