Barbie-themed parties are not just for children anymore. In fact, some entire weddings have been centered around this fun theme. If you want the ultimate girly theme for your party, consider a Barbie quinceañera. Here's how to make it happen:
The Venue
Consider renting a private house with a pool to save money. Make sure to inform the owner of your plans and be prepared to pay for additional insurance and a security deposit. Otherwise, decorate any venue to fit the theme.
The Colors
Pink and black, of course! Or try pink and silver, pink, light blue and light purple, or maybe two or three different shades of pink. No matter which combination you chose, you definitely want to make PINK the primary color.
The Invites
The challenge with finding a Barbie invitation for an adult party is that most available invitations are designed for children's parties. It may require some creativity to find a sophisticated and elegant option that suits your needs.
The Dress
You want the most glamourous and girly gown you can find, and compliments you the best. Look for ruffles, lace, bows, satin, pearls, or any form of bling, or any combination of these elements.
The Court
Your damas could also wear Barbie pink dresses to compliment your look. High ponytails are a must. Think lots of volume, have your damas do a Barbie makeup to complete their look. Your chambelans can style theirself after Ken, by going simple and clean cut with with the suits and hairstyles.
Decor
A pink Barbie-themed entrance with a sign, pink carpet, pink lighting, and decorations like tulle pom poms, balloons, satin draping, and centerpieces made of Barbies can be used to welcome guests to your quince.
Entertainment
A DJ or a band will work well with this theme! At some point during the party, you know you will have to play the “Barbie Girl” song!
The Food
Consider serving finger foods, appetizers, and drinks that all feature a pink theme. For drinks go with pink lemonade, cherry soda, strawberry milk, and even pink ice water. For an extra-special touch, serve up Barbie floats featuring raspberry sherbet and ginger ale.
The Cake
Go with something decadent and super girly. Top your cake with a Barbie, use details like edible glitter or ruffles, and add some bows to it. You could also go with a cupcake tower combination. Cupcake toppers with Barbie’s silhouette on them would be cute.
Final Touches
Create a Barbie Box Photobooth, which is a huge pink box designed to look like a Barbie box, that your guests can pose in. A pink chocolate fountain would be a feature your guests would not forget soon, and would fit well in your glamorous girly theme.
