Nora's Magical Disney themed 4th Birthday Party

Written by Meghan Murray, Ashley Baumgartner & Rozalyn Schlumpf

A dream is a wish your heart makes, and for this little girl, the dream of visiting Disneyland for her 4th birthday came to a halt during a worldwide pandemic. Although being at Disneyland wasn't in the cards, this cool and creative mama Rozalyn, of Poptarts and Peonies, knew right off the bat that she wanted to bring the magic of Disney to her daughter's birthday celebration with pretty pastel details, lots of DIY’s, and of course, MAGIC!

Rozalyn brought Meghan of Parker Grace Events on board to help continue to design and plan Nora’s Vintage Disney Soiree. Meghan was inspired by the stitching on the classic Disney mouse ears. A true Disneyland staple next to the churro, when visiting the parks. They really wanted to push the classic Disney party boundaries and create something unique and inspiring, all while overflowing with feminine and elegant details. Sketches of cross-stitched Mickey's filled Meghan's notebook, and it was time to bring it all to life! Fortunately for the team, Rozalyn is a DIY queen and craft blogger, that helps mamas and families create magic in their own homes. She cross-stitched Mickey ears on acrylic that hung above the most gorgeous tablescape, and painted cross stitch mickey designs on little details found throughout the party. She handmade a truly one-of-a-kind luxe Mickey pinata out of fabric, ribbon and yarn.

Rozalyn and Meghan were on the hunt for the more stitching details. Shirlee's Shoppe created a custom pennant flag invitation, complete with glitter and stitched edges, of course. Chicory Stitches made personalized jean jackets for the girls, featuring their names in hand stitched cursive. Kiss You Kate handmade the most whimsical Mickey wands, adorned with a bit of sparkle and her signature "x" stitched on the back.

Bacon Bit Co. personalized Mickey necklaces led each little princess to their seat, and was the perfect take away gift. When they sat down for their party snacks, it was hard to choose from an assortment of Mickey-shaped cookies, lollipops, cupcakes, and mini donuts from B. R. Sweets. Each cup included a straw complete with a mini donut and a handmade glitter pennant flag with their name by Shirlee’s Shoppe, to match the invitation. There was no shortage of glitter and sparkle. The table draped in pink sequin fabric from Party Crush Studio, tabletop wear from Ellie and Piper Co, and an amazing backdrop of tissue and color from Glam Fete highlighted the cross-stitched Mickey acrylic signs hanging overhead. Girly and festive florals by The Flower Theory added the perfect pop of color to the dining table, and through the party. The room overflowed with joy in front of Nora's MAGIC lettered balloon display (template by The Creative Heart Studio) as glitter and confetti began to fall from the pinata.

The adults sipped on Briar Rosé and Poison Apple signature cocktails. Champagne flowed over a Mickey shaped cotton candy, and they snacked on the most beautiful charcuterie board by Danville Cheese. As the birthday princess blew out her Mickey-shaped sparkler candles, you couldn't help but feel her excitement and joy. The day was nothing short of magical. Nora will forever remember the day she stepped into a Vintage Disney Soiree, fit for a four-year-old princess, as captured by Ashley Baumgartner.
