For Melody’s third birthday, we had a Snow White themed party. As far as decor went, I played off the Snow White colors and apples. I also included lots of pictures of Melody dressed like Snow White. And I even added in some of her toys.

Birthday Party Kid Fun
For Melody’s 3rd birthday party we were faced with a dilemma…what do we do with all of the kids. For Melody’s first birthday party, she was obviously so young, and there were not that many kids. And the kids that did come were young too. We had a few things outside that Melody played with, but the kids primarily stayed inside and toddled. For Melody’s second birthday party, we had it at my best friend’s house due to our remodel, and there were three kids. That was easy.
Snow White Birthday Banners
For Melody’s third birthday I did a Snow White themed party. I ended up making all of the party banners because it is near impossible to find exclusively Snow White things in the store.
Snow White Door Hanger
At Melody’s Snow White birthday party, I wanted something to hang on our back door during the party. None of my smaller door hangers really fit the theme, so I decided to make something myself.
Snow White Canvas Painting
For Melody’s Snow White Birthday Party, I wanted to add inexpensive but themed decor throughout. I had the idea for her to paint a Snow White canvas painting. I had some big canvases, but I opted to use one of the smaller ones because it would be easier to paint, and it would allow for an easier placement at the party.
Snow White Party Food
For Melody’s Snow White birthday party, I wanted to keep the food simple and light. Years past I always spent way too much on food, and I had way too much leftover. So this year I decided I would do a few smaller things and then do something that was the focus/centerpiece of the food. I kept the dessert on a separate table, so that is why I decided to do this approach.
Snow White Shirt
So I knew back in December when I was considering doing a Snow White Birthday party for Melody that if I did, she would wear her Snow White dress from Halloween. It would be perfect and adorable. We even took the dress to Disney World in February to take some pictures of her to use around the party for decor.
Snow White Favors ~ Ribbon Wands
The week of Melody’s Snow White Birthday, I started reconsidering party favors. I already magical kisses favors, but as the party neared I realized we would have quite a few kids. So I decided I wanted to do something small for the kids specifically but wasn’t sure what.
Snow White Invites
I really struggled in deciding an invite for Melody’s Snow White themed birthday party. I wanted something easy but cute. I told myself after doing the invites myself the last two years, I was going to buy pre-made ones. Well that didn’t happen. Mainly because I found it hard to find the perfect Snow White invitation. So I came up with an idea. My fear was it would take too long and be too complicated. So instead, I came up with two other ideas. I ran them by Brad and Emily, and they both ended up agreeing on the more complicated one (although they thought the others were cute too). Let me share the final invite along with the other two below.
Snow White Party Favors ~ Magical Kisses
I went back and forth a lot on what kind of party favor to do at Melody’s Snow White birthday party. I really wanted something that went with the theme, but I also didn’t want to take ideas that made more sense for future birthday parties (princess wands, crowns, etc.). I came across an idea on Pinterest that referenced Magical Kisses, and I opted to go with that.
Apple Bar
At Melody’s Snow White birthday party, I wanted a main focus when it came to the food. I wanted to go lighter this year, so I hoped to play off the theme of the party. I came up with doing a caramel apple bar for the party. It played off the “apple” portion of the theme, and it was relatively inexpensive and easy!
DIY Happy Everything Attachment
A few years ago, my best friend Emily gave me an adorable Happy Everything serving dish. I adore serving dishes (my husband despises them!). Well last year I was lucky and found the perfect attachment for her “You are my Sunshine” themed party. Well I didn’t have much luck finding a good apple or princess attachment for Melody’s Snow White party. So I decided to make my own!
Snow White Wooden Number
While shopping at Hobby Lobby for other birthday party supplies, I ran across a sale on unfinished wood. And I found this number 3. I thought it would be a perfect added piece of decor to Melody’s Snow White themed birthday party. With a little paint and ribbon, it truly was.
Snow White Party Cookies
I decided earlier in the year that I wanted to make iced sugar cookies for Melody’s birthday party this year. They are so expensive to buy, but they make parties so adorable. So I searched and found a recipe that worked perfectly (cookie recipe and icing recipe). It took me quite a few attempts to get the icing perfected, but eventually I produced the perfect consistency for icing cookies.
Snow White Cake
When Melody made the decision to have a Snow White birthday party, I already had the idea to do a Snow White ‘Barbie’ cake. Growing up I had many Barbie cakes at my birthdays and my birthday parties. I talked with my mom to confirm she still had the cake mold. And luckily she DID. So she gave me the mold, and I decided to attempt this cake. I was super nervous about making it, and I could not have made it without my mom for sure!
Snow White Birthday Party
Melody has finally reached an age where she has an opinion on things. When asked what kind of birthday party she wanted, she asked for a Snow White party. Of course she changed her mind many times, but Snow White is what we always came back to, and then it was too late…I started buying and making things!
Halloween 2018
This Halloween was filled with lots of new fun.
