Barbie’s Wonderland
There’s no better way to honor your little angel’s passion for Barbie than to throw her a Barbie-themed birthday party, which will immerse her in ‘Barbie’s wonderland.’
The party should be themed around Barbie’s world. This means a riot of brilliant pink and lavender colors.
Balloons
Use Barbie’s favorite colors, pink and lavender, to decorate. To match your Barbie party theme, use a lot of balloons and streamers in these colors!
Personalized Banner
Let everyone know that they’ve arrived at the Barbie birthday party area by making your own Barbie welcome banner.
If you’ve got a pink or Barbie Happy Birthday banner, you can adorn your girl’s name on the front, and let her know that this Barbie party is just for her.
There aren’t too many moments of life more magical than knowing that your friends have gathered for a Barbie party that’s all about you
Pink Ribbons
Tie pink ribbons around vases and other decorative items.
Barbie Dolls
Decorate the party area with Barbie dolls, furniture, cars, and other accessories.
Party Costumes
Dressing up as Barbie is probably the only thing more fun than being surrounded by Barbie. With a beautiful Barbie birthday costume, your cute princess can rock her confidence.
Barbie, if she’s anything, is up-to-date! Phoenix Denim Art can make your loved one a creative personalized denim jacket to complement any party theme! She’ll be ready to rock her party with a tutu and matching pink headpiece.
The girls naturally enjoyed playing dress-up, but it’s best to plan ahead if you want the activity to continue longer than 15 minutes. We could tell they were feeling a little overwhelmed after spending some time looking through the “closet” of alternatives. So we started giving them Fashion Challenges to find matching outfits:
- Dress like if you’re preparing to take a vacation to Paris!
- What would you put on if you were going out to a lovely dinner with your parents?
- Are you a rock star, a member of a female band, or an opera singer set to appear on stage?
- You’ve just won the jackpot and are on the verge of purchasing a mansion for your entire family.
Barbie Party Food Ideas
Barbie’s birthday party meals must be bright and pink to match her world! Here are some culinary suggestions:
- Mousse de strawberries
- Mini doughnuts in pink
- Fruit salad for each person
- Marshmallows in pink and white
- Fairy bread in pink
- Barbie toppers on pink cupcakes
Birthday Cakes
What would a Barbie birthday celebration be without a traditional Barbie cake? Grab your child’s favorite Barbie and use buttercream to create a cake around her skirt. Alternatively, go for a pink or purple cake with a Barbie figure cake topper.
Party Favors
Fill little purses or pink lunch boxes with goodies to thank friends for attending your Barbie birthday party, such as:
- Barbie decals
- Pencils
- Temporary tattoos
- Pink feather boas
- Barrettes and other hair accessories
- Pink bubble gum bubble bath
- Barbie tiaras
- Sunglasses
- Nail polish and make-up
- Barbie’s wardrobe and accessories
Fashion Show
Barbie is in style! Why not throw a fashion show for your lady and her pals, where they may walk the runway, pose for photos, and flaunt their confidence in large sunglasses, head boppers, beads, and bow clips? Not only will you obtain cute photos, but the girls will think they’re in a real fashion show.
Photo Booth
Don’t forget to capture the moment! It’s time for each woman to flaunt her self-assurance by having some cheeky and daring fun. Make a photoshoot with the females. After that, siblings, father, and mother are welcome to join in the fun! The photographs will provide your angel with priceless memories that she will cherish for years to come. To complete the look, get a Barbie Photo Booth!
Stomping on Balloons
Using an arms length of string, tie a half-blown balloon to each guest’s ankle. At the first mention of the phrase “Go!” To pop, everyone attempts to step on each other. It’s a lot of fun!
Hula Hoopla
Children should form two lines after breaking into two teams. Hold hands with your teammates and tell them not to let go. The goal is for the teams to get the hula hoop from one end of the line to the other without letting go of their hands. This is a goofy and entertaining birthday party game!
Limbo
A pole or broomstick is held at child’s height by two older kids or adults. Begin by playing music and instructing the children to bend backwards and walk beneath the pole without touching it. Lower the pole an inch or two after each round. A player is eliminated if they touch the pole.
Barbie Birthday Invitations
Gather up your Barbie crew because a Barbie bash just isn’t the same without them! Get those invites popping by crafting them from vibrant pink cardstock shaped like dresses. Don’t forget, snapping a pic of your daughter with her beloved Barbie can add that extra touch!
Encourage your guests to bring along their best-loved Barbies and accessories to kick off the party in style. And if a makeover’s on the cards, suggest the gals bring along some fancy threads and makeup for added glam. These tips all fit together to create an awesome Barbie-themed celebration!

Strawberry Milkshakes
Strawberry milkshakes are sweet, creamy, and beautifully pink classic drinks. Easily blend up this delicious beverage for guests to customize with chocolate, coconut, and other ingredients Barbie might like. For an adult version, feel free to add your favorite alcohol or liquor.
Frosé
Frosé is one of the best party cocktails because it’s incredibly easy to make. Blend together your favorite rosé with ice for a refreshing wine slushie everyone is sure to enjoy. Although rosé fits the color scheme perfectly, you can customize these drinks to the wine preferences of your guests and add frozen fruit and/or vodka to the mix.
Makeup Station
Barbie adores makeup, so why not include a pink-themed makeup station for the party? You can ensure that the space isn’t the only one with style by using nail polish and other stunning makeup accents.
It will be much easier for them to accept the theme of your house party if they know they are just as gorgeous as Barbie! Add flowers and glitter to their hair to complete the cosmetic look. They’ll look adorable and on-theme.
