We celebrated Chloe's 5th birthday on the weekend and it was a blast! Chloe has been asking for a Disney FROZEN birthday party ever since she saw the movie. Five is a such a fun age... I love that Chloe is old enough to come up with ideas for her party and help me with the decorations and party food. The way I see it, there's only a limited number of years she'll actually want me to throw her a party so when we do, we go all out.

FROZEN Birthday Party Ideas:

A FROZEN birthday party is so much fun to plan. There are tons of simple FROZEN birthday party ideas on Pinterest for party food, decorations and much more. I wanted to take the FROZEN birthday party theme to the limit and really make it a magical celebration.

A lot of planning went into this party so I encourage you to click on over to check out these other FROZEN Birthday Party posts:






I'm happy to say that all of that planning paid off! Let me show how our epic party unfolded.

FROZEN Birthday Party Decorations:

We've had Chloe's last three birthday parties here at home. Even though our house is small, I like the cozy feel of having dozens of people celebrating with us. We always set up the food table in our dining room. We have some pretty bold wallpaper in that room so this year, I wanted to hide it and decorate more in theme. I covered one wall in tissue paper fringe hung up with poster putty. It looks like a lot of work but it took only one evening. 

Covering the entire wall really helped accentuate the colour scheme. We stuck to navy blue, aqua blue, and white for most of the decor. It felt icy and modern.

On top of the wall fringe, I hung a banner which I made on my computer but you can buy FROZEN banners online. HandyMan also made giant snowflakes out of foam core which he sprayed with spray glue and covered in craft glitter. These were very lightweight and we strung them on clear fishing wire.

We stored the goodie boxes on the radiator in the corner and hung the pinata in the archway. Of course, those boxes held the sweetest party favours:



All of those details really helped to turn this room into a blue and aqua FROZEN Arendelle!



I wanted the kids to be excited as soon as they walked through the front door so I created some welcoming details.

On the front door, we hung a photoshopped photo of Chloe as Princess Elsa. Too funny! It's hanging in her room now ;)

When the kids entered, they were handed Elsa crowns and Sven antlers to wear. It really got them in a giggly mood. Chloe set up some of her Frozen toys as decor and I used the extra foam to add icicles to the radiator cover.

FROZEN Birthday Party Games:

Most of the activities happened down in our basement. We created a little photobooth with a backdrop and standup cut-outs of Anna and Elsa mounted on foam core. All the images were found online and I had them printed at Staples. Chloe enjoyed striking a pose with the princesses.

I also found these Frozen snowflake templates online. My mom cut out tons of them and we hung them all around the basement, down the stairs and over the games tables. I used clear fishing line so they seemed to float.


We had a colouring station and a cookie decorating station. I used winter themed cookie cutters of snowflakes and princesses. You can't go wrong with sugar cookies and icing! While the kids were doing their activities, we played the movie on the TV. Want to know how to keep 5 year olds sitting in rapt attention? Let them watch Frozen!


Back upstairs, the kids played pin the nose on Olaf. As a prize, each child got a cute little foam putty snowman making kit.

FROZEN Birthday Party Food:

I admit it, I probably went overboard on the food. Okay, I went overboard with everything, ha! But how could I not? It was so much fun to think up themed Frozen birthday party food!

Frozen Slush Punch:

1. In a very large pot, bring the sugar, water, and jello to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. 
2. Add the pineapple juice and 4 cups of the sparkling lemonade. 
3. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
4. Divide the mixture into two large freezer ziploc bags and freeze. 
5. One hour prior to consumption, remove the bags from the freezer to thaw. Combine the contents of 1 ziploc bag with 1L of the gingerale and 1/2 of the remaining lemonade.
6. Add the other bag of frozen mixture as needed and mix in remaining gingerale and lemonade.

 
 
The kids' favourite food? Surprisingly, the pretzel sticks! Oh, and of course the jello. The kids made a beeline from the front door to the jello. It was finished in a matter of seconds. We ended off the party with store bought cake which I topped with Frozen figurines. 

And that was Chloe's 5th birthday party! I hope you enjoyed this closer look at all the fun FROZEN birthday party ideas. It was such a joy to celebrate this little girl who has brought so much sparkle and sass to our lives. Chloe is a child who really attacks life. Its like she can't wait to wake up in the mornings... she is so full of happiness and seemingly boundless energy. I've learned so much from her!


Mommy and Daddy love you so much Chloe! You are the very very best thing in our lives.
