A pink poodle birthday party can be a special day for any young girl. Make her day an exciting event by inviting her best friends and their favorite stuffed dog or bear to the party. Plan a party that the little ones will remember. Encourage everyone to wear an item of clothing that is pink. Be sure to have a cluster of pink balloons to mark the party place outside at your driveway entrance or door. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorations and Invitation
Design an invitation with a poodle or a simple pink ribbon dog collar on the cover. You can have an enjoyable time planning the decorations for the party. Select pink, purple and white pom-pom balls or ornaments to hang up with feather boas or garlands. Place pictures of pink poodles around the party area. Inexpensive dog collars can be used for curtain tie-backs in the party room. Don't forget to purchase or hand make a banner or sign for the birthday girl. Choose bright-colored tablecloths for the food and gift tables.
Poodle Kit and Activities
Assemble a pom-pom kit to make pink poodles for an activity. The simple craft requires pom-poms in any size and a bottle of white tacky glue. Simply glue two small pom-poms together for each of the four legs. Adhere the legs to a large pom-pom body, add a small neck pom-pom then a medium-size head. Make a tiny braid from fluffy pink or white yarn and glue to the back portion of the dog for a tail. Glue a tiny pom-pom to the end of the tail. Add craft eyes for the face embellishment and a piece of cording for a sparkly collar.
Make buckle bracelets that look like a dog collar by gluing craft rhinestones. Pin the tail or the collar on the poodle for younger birthday party guests. Decorate a small tote bag with sponge or rubber stamped dog or bone shapes with acrylic paint for an easy craft with younger children.
Food
Decorate the table with puffs of pink cotton candy in cones or bags set into colorful bowls. Make tea sandwiches with cream cheese mixed with maraschino cherry slivers and chopped walnuts. Prepare trays of a variety of finger sandwiches including peanut butter and jelly and a bowl of cocktail wieners in sauce. For a pre-teen party make individual pizzas shaped like dog bones, if a hot meal would be more appropriate. Serve birthday cake with pink ice cream or sherbet.
Cake and Dessert
Construct a poodle-shaped head or the entire body with round and rectangular cakes. Frost with pale pink icing and add bright pink cupcakes for the puffs at the ankles, ears and tail. Use a red or black licorice twist for the collar. Add coconut on top of the frosting for a fluffier appearance. You can make pink frosted cupcakes and place them on a round or rectangular tray, arranged in the shape of the birthday number, for a simpler cake dessert. Add a bowl of fresh strawberries or raspberries to the dessert table.
Doggy Gift Bag
Make or purchase a small gift box that looks like a pet carrier or a doggy bag. Fill the container with a layer of pink tissue before adding in the thank-you goodies for your party goers. Choose goodies that are pink or poodle themed. Place chocolate chip or dog-bone-shaped cookies that are iced with pink glaze, dog tags, pink socks, barrettes, sunglasses, novelty drinking straws and pink bubble gum into the container.
