Well, here we are – another year older, another Disney birthday party! For our FOUR Year Old Birthday Party, how could we do anything less than a “Reach FOUR the Sky” Toy Story theme?!
This one was so so fun! And I’ll go ahead and give you a tip up front…basically all the decorations in this post, except for our actual Toy Story figurines and the paper products, (including the balloons!) came in a $20 Amazon Kit. Unfortunately (at the time of this blog) the exact kit I used is no longer available on Amazon…but I found two other options (linked here and here) that are very similar!
Highly recommend this route because it made it so easy that everything coordinated, came together, and that I didn’t have to come up with all the decorations on my own.
Now, slight back story to this menu before we dive all the way in…a couple years ago we were gifted a Toy Story Waffle Maker for Christmas. And it has become a family staple in our house. Typically once a week, either Friday morning or Saturday morning, my husband and boys make “Buzz Waffles” and it’s just kinda their thing.
So in thinking ahead and planning this party menu, I could do nothing but include Buzz Waffles! And from there I just decided to embrace the theme, and we just made breakfast/brunch food! And honestly, it was such a hit!
Alright, here we go – let’s dive into the food and decor!
We will start out with none other than, as I just mentioned, our Buzz Waffles! Technically, they are Buzz, Alien, Woody, and Forky – and are half plan waffles and half chocolate chip!
Oh – and as per basically all of my themed parties, I just use white place setting cards (I get mine at Hobby Lobby, but Amazon sells similar ones!), and themed stickers, to add a little flare and label all of the food being served!
Moving right along, we have Bo Peeps Bo-Berry Muffins! Which were just some homemade blueberry muffins with the technical “cupcake toppers” within each! These of course came with my amazing Amazon kit, and would be adorable on cupcakes! But since we were rolling with the breakfast/brunch theme, and doing cake, I added muffins to the menu solely so I could use these toppers!
Then we had Jessie’s Juice bar for our drinks, with a simple carafe of fruit juice, plus some apple juice boxes for the kiddos!
Our more “hearty” menu items included, Alien Egg Casserole (Egg, ham, and cheese casserole), Slinks Pimento Cheese Biscuits, and Potato Head’s Hashbrown Casserole.
And then we rounded our meal off, with what else than, Birthday Cake! If you read about our Lightning McQueen Third Birthday Party, then you know last year was the year I decided to save a little money and start making my own birthday cakes, instead of getting something more elaborate and professional.
And honestly, I’ve been loving it! I am by NO means a cake decorator. But again, with the handy dandy Amazon packet, this cake topper was included! Which eliminated me having to write on the cake, and left me with just making some clue icing and some white clouds.
I’ll give you quick glance at all the decor – and again, most of this (minus our figurines) all came in the Amazon Kit! Technically, the balloons are for a balloon arch, but I’m not quite that talented, so I just did my own thing with them! But all the supplies, strings, etc. were included in the specific kit I had, you just have to put everything together yourself – so account for that in your decorating/party prep time!
And last but not least, how could I not get these $10 Target sweatshirts for the boys to wear for the party??
All in all, this Reach FOUR the Sky party was a huge hit, was super fun to plan and put together, and a great time was had by all!
Until next time!
