barbie party guide
with the Barbie movie premiere less than a month away, now is the time to get party planning. inspired by a recent girls’ trip — this party guide is made with a girls’ night in mind and geared for the 21+ crowd. think girls night in, heck make this your pre-movie pregame. we can’t wait to see your Barbie parties!
this list includes: paper goods, decor + photo backdrop, activities
let’s break it down
paper goods
iridescent plates - these felt extra cute with the holographic look. comes in two sizes 7” (snacks/dessert) + 9” (dinner)
pink tablecloth - can’t beat the price and they sell these in a variety of table sizes/shapes. perfect for mixing + matching based on your needs without sacrificing aesthetic.
pink paper straws - while we may not all love paper straws, these are cute and good for the earth.
barbie napkins - love that this have the barbie logo, iridescent stripes - ties it all together IMO.
drink pouches - perfect for a pink themed cocktail (more on that next week!). opt’d for clear vs a branded pouch so you can reuse any extras for another event.
decor
tinsel backdrop - always a fan favorite and be reused for other themes. pro tip: hang your garlands on a hanger when not in use to keep them tangle free.
barbie balloons - just enough “pop”, without hours of balloon set-up.
pink boa garland - LOVE this as balloon string for the set listed above. this can weigh the balloons down so consider yourself warned that you may need helium vs. regular air to get full effect.
activities
fujifilm instax mini - this is one of my favorites to incorporate to a party. if you already own one of these cameras, bring it out for the fun. trust that you are going to want to capture these memories and it makes for a great activity.
instax film - a barbie party is the perfect excuse to be bold with your film. fuji makes so many great options with bold colors, metallics, graphics, etc. this is not a black + white party. have fun with it!
photo album - if going the fujimax route, you will inevitably have mini photos around your place for days post-party. this is such a great way to lean into the Barbie vibes and keep your pics organized. bonus points for having friends sign their prints, scrapbooks are forever. no one regrets having photo memories!
tattoos - loved this tattoo set and with 42 tattoos there should be plenty for everyone. if you have 12million friends coming over - order a few packs. is it just me or do you always blow through a tattoo station at the speed of light?
rolling papers - honestly, my greatest party find yet. can you say #onbrand?! if you and your crew dabble in the green goodness, then these are PERFECT for you. remember when I mentioned this being a more adult themed party guide - it was for this reason. 21+ up pls. I like this gig and don’t want to get in trouble for any sillyness.
pink sunglasses - if your friends are like mine they 1) love a prop 2) always are looking for their sunglasses. problem solved with these heart shaped cuties. stick with classic pink or mix and match if you are feeling edgy!
oh man, I had such a blast building this Barbie party guide. now I need to hurry up and get a girls’ night on the books because this theme screams friendship + memories. be sure to tag us in your party pics (@heydaypartyco) so we can celebrate along with you.
