The moment you've all been waiting for...okay, just kidding.  It's been forever since I shared the first glimpse of Genevieve's Modern Minnie Mouse Party and I thought it high time I shared the rest of the party with you.  After the numerous posts on Nadia's Party, I wanted to keep this short and sweet and only do a couple of posts.  It should have been a bit easier considering this was a smaller low budget "family only" party versus the production that Nadia's party sort of accidentally turned out to be. ;)  Buuuut...it's me.  So I have to add a third post of party people and the invitation process.  I can't help it; I'm long winded!  Here's a look at the decor and favor table.

Descriptions (from left to right):
-I used printables from here for the welcome sign.  I threw it on the Christmas wreath that was already on our door.
-The fireplace wasn't a focal point of the party but since I already had the ruffled streamers I didn't use at Nadia's party, tons of frames, and all the photos of Genevieve from the "shoot" we did for her invitation, I figured I'd put it all to use.  The Minnie Mouse plush was an easy addition.
-Before kids, we had what we called "the red room."  It was a modern office/guest room with red walls and black and white decor and photography.  I loved the red room [sniff sniff]!  The little red/black/white houndstooth suitcase used to live on a shelf in the red room.  I was psyched when I remembered it and easily found a use for it.  The black and white polka dot napkins were $1 at Wal-Mart.
-I made the menu using PicMonkey and used the ubiquitous Ikea frame (purchased off of eBay) to display it.  -One of the factors that led to me throwing a red, black, and white Minnie party (vs. a pink one) was the classic Minnie and Mickey dishes I picked up at Target forever ago.  I didn't photograph it all but a cute Minnie and Mickey tray housed mini chicken salad sandwiches and a Mickey bowl held hummus.  This cup was perfect for the paper straws.

I knew I wanted to use the extra hanging fans somewhere and over the food table seemed like a good place.  I'll post more about this banner separately because it was so cute and inexpensive! The Minnie photos were a part of a calendar that cost $1 at Target.  I just glued two photos together to make a mobile.  I loved that the photos were more modern than  your typical Minnie Mouse image.

I really loved the way the banner turned out!  Unfortunately, the room it hung in has terrible lighting and is a very narrow room which made it tough to get great photos!
I loved these favors.  The tins are from Target's $1 section and I filled them with gumballs--that may or may not have been leftover from Nadia's party.  The mini gumballs I got from here.  Oh c'mon pure sugar doesn't go bad does it?!
The gumball dispensers are from the Dollar Tree.  Can you believe it?!  Okay a tiny part of me is hoping they don't contain lead or some similar poison.  While I'm willing to sacrifice for a party, that may be taking it a bit far.  But my nephew did say--and I quote-- it was "the best party favor ever."  Oh, and one more thing--I saw the exact same one (packaging and everything) at TJ Maxx for $12.99 around Christmas time.  And I gave myself a mental pat on the back.
You can't tell from the picture (and I'm shocked that this is the only one I took) but the books have little Minnie Mouse combs and mirrors attached.  I got it all from the $1 of Target.  Yes, this was a low budget party.  Ain't no shame.
