Mini Party Plan: How to Plan a Barbie Birthday Party - The Party Teacher (2024)

by Jennifer Needham | Sep 19, 2019 | Girl Parties, Mini Party Plan | 0 comments

My darling little niece (actually great-niece, but let’s not go there because it makes me feel old) has chosen a Barbie birthday party. Her “Kitty” will host the party, but I get to help out with some ideas! And that means, you get a Barbie birthday party mini party plan — it’s the easiest way to share what’s cooking in my brain.

All you have to do is:

• Pick your favorite invite and party favor
• Choose a selection of dessert, decor and game ideas
• Buy the place setting elements…

… and your party is planned.
