Villainous Disney Side at Home Celebration
I was recently selected to host an official Disney Side @Home Celebration, thanks to Disney Parks. The party theme that I was given, "Disney Villains," centered around the tween/teen age. Since I have 3 girls ages 11-14, I knew that we'd have a wickedly good "big kid" time and even the littlest villains (younger brothers & cousins) would even be able to enjoy the fun.
Like so many other fabulous moms that were selected, I love to host family and friends at our house. I couldn't wait to see what my pixie-dusted box would be filled with and was anxious to get planning! While I waited for my party kit, I perused Pinterest, collaborated with other party hostesses on Facebook and downloaded some fun at the official Disney Side website. Disney Parks had some really awesome party tips and our box was chock-full of fun!
The package arrived and I spent a full day waiting for my kids to get home from school. Let's just say it was the longest school day EVER, and while most days I am enjoying the quiet while working at home, I could not wait to pick them up! The week that we got the package and hosted the party, I was sick and a couple of my kids were down, too. Regardless, we had an awesome time, and can't wait to host another party this summer for the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration!
Party Time!
I had a lot of fun playing with design ideas for the invitation. We were given invites in the box, but I wanted to make sure I could send invites via text and email. Plus, I was a little anxious to get going, so I sent these out before I realized I'd have paper invites! As a huge fan of those Valentine's Day Sweethearts candies, this Disney Villaintine's design went perfectly! I was able to use the villain inspired hearts from a Disney image to spread some magic to the invitees.
Here are some of my favorite party moments!
My youngest niece KB (you might recognize her as my special toy tester) won "Make Mickey Smile" and went home very proud of her Disney Villains puzzle!
My eldest son and his buddy from school were channeling the Dark Side, for sure. I'm so glad they had a blast. The rain barely put a damper on their outside play with lightsabers and our rope swing! These two really were the only ones that wanted to show off their Villain Sides for the camera. They got extra cookies! :)
My baby girl/middle child (above), aka Drama Queen - or sometimes, the Evil Queen herself, did a great job facilitating the "Make Mickey Smile" game!
One of the best things about home parties is spending time with our family and friends of all ages! We are so grateful for the opportunity to share our love for Disney with events like this!
