Time to say Thank You – Thanksgiving Party Ideas


Harvest season is approaching and so is Thanksgiving. It’s Time to Thank Lord for all his blessings on our family & friends. This religious holiday brings family & friends close to pray for the well being off all their well-wishers.  From childhood I have always had lavish Thanksgiving with my family and close friends coming over special Turkey Dinner my mom cooked. Memories of Thanksgiving are still fresh when my dad after the prayers carved Turkey for us.  Each one of us has special childhood Thanksgiving Memories which we cherish. Past few years I am not able to celebrate Thanksgiving my family, as they were not with me. So this year when my parents are visiting me, I am going to surprise them with a lavish Thanksgiving Day Dinner. To say my Thanks to them for being with me always.

I have never been scared of organizing a party but this Thanksgiving Dinner Party is giving me jitters. I have invited all my parents close friends and family over dinner. And I am worried if I will be able to match my mother’s Thanksgiving Dinner, where everyone left with a smiling face.  

Thanksgiving Decorations:


No party is complete with a proper décor. Adding some decoration elements give your part area some lift and also gives you the change you want. Why spend hundreds renting outside when you can transform your own apartment to your very own Personal Party Arena. I Picked up certain Turkey & Fall based Thanksgiving Decorations for the party to impress my mom (as you know mom’s rarely get impressed with their daughter’s skills)

So, let’s get going planning this Thanksgiving Day Dinner Party.


Air blown Turkey - Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving without turkey is not complete. Well, I am not only talking about Turkey on your dinner table but also as in important element of Thanksgiving Day decoration.

Mickey & Minnie Theme Kids Birthday Party

My friend Annie just had a summer holiday with her twins to Disneyland, Florida! Kids enjoyed being surrounded by their favorite cartoon characters. Her twins are boy & girl who are going to be 5 in few weeks. Planning their Birthday Party Annie & Me thought having a Theme Birthday Party according to both the twins. One loves Mickey Mouse & other loves Minnie Mouse. It was difficult to make one unhappy and choose one over the other, so to make both the twins happy we decided to have Mickey & Minnie Theme Birthday party for the twins. We decided to have divided our party venue into two zones Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & Minnie Mouse Club House for boys & girls respectively. Colors we selected for boys are black, white & red while for girls we decided to go for pink, white & black.

Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse Tableware:


Proper tableware for your party plays important role in making your Theme Party a success. I have always said that don’t go in for solid color tableware for your upcoming theme party. They look dull and ruin the true feel of your party. Search a bit, browse through the internet to search for tableware like plates, napkins, table covers matching to your themes. Lot of companies provide official merchandise tableware, at very reasonable prices. For this theme of ours “Mickey n Minnie Birthday theme” there is lot of options available in the market. Even official Disney merchandise is available in various online stores.

Cupcake Stands:

Serving food to Kids is challenging! It should taste good, should be healthy (every mom agrees!) and should look good. In case of kids its true, food that looks good is they like to have. There are many cup cake stands available in the market to serve your delicious Cup Cakes to your little guests. These 3-tier cup cake stands look “cute” on your serving tables.

TIP: Ask your baker to make some cute cupcakes n muffins with Bows and Polka Dots to go with your Mickey Mouse & Minnie Theme.


Tableware doesn’t mean you get the cup stand and its done! You need to get proper theme based Cups, plates napkins & tablecloth to make your theme look more lively.

Decorate your Table with these beautiful Centerpieces. Set two tables one for Mickey & one for Minnie. As they say Kids love food that looks good, garnish your food with Mickey & Minnie Theme in mind.
