My daughter has long been an American Girl doll fan and thanks to her grandparents she has the Kaya doll, Felicity doll and Elizabeth doll. For her eleventh birthday, she decided she wanted to have an American Girl doll party and I couldn’t have been happier. A doll party is super sweet and easy too and that was before I knew that my favorite crafts store, Michael’s, carries an entire line of American Girl crafts party supplies.
American Girl birthday party invitations:
We couldn’t resist a photo invitation with our girl and her American Girl doll inviting her friends to bring their dolls over for a play date. We worded the invitation to bring your “favorite doll” so whether anyone had an American Girl doll or not would not be an issue.
Michael’s carries American Girl crafts invitations and thank you notes too.
American Girl birthday party cupcakes:
The birthday cake was as obvious for a doll party so finally we decided on cupcakes. We made cupcakes with white cream cheese icing and decorated them with the American Girl purple and hot pink star emblem. The party girl loved them and it was so easy for the party host. We even found hot pink star sprinkles.
American Girl birthday party favors:
We created our own party favors that were all about dressing up the dolls. We included found travel hairbrushes that folded up, lots of ponytail holders and stick on jewel earrings. We handed the bags at the party and the girls had fun doing their dolls hair and each other’s hair.
Michael’s carries American Girl craft purse party favor boxes and nail sticker party favors.
American Girl birthday party menu:
We decided since we were having a girlie girl party that we might as well go all out with our ladies theme. We decided to set up the party as a tea party with pots of tea, pitchers of pink lemonade, teacups, assorted tea sandwiches and cookies. Use a small star cookie cutter to make cookies and sandwiches in the signature American Girl emblem.
Michael’s carries American Girl craft dinner plates, cake plates, cups, napkins and napkin rings and more.
American Girl birthday party activities:
With plain plastic frames and assorted scrapbook stickers, our party guests were able to create a picture perfect frame. We took a photo of each guests and their doll and mailed it to them in their thank you notes.
Michael’s also carries American Girl craft color in frames party activity kits, decorated treasure box activity kits, ring activity kits, doll accessories kits and hair accessories kits.
Get those cameras ready because there is nothing sweeter than a party with a girls and their dolls.
