Frozen Birthday Party on a Budget

We love birthday parties.  I always like to make sure my kids have a great special day without completely breaking our budget!  Last weekend my middle daughter turned 5 and she requested a Frozen birthday party

For starters, I shopped high and low looking for Frozen party supplies.  There are some on Amazon, but I found them the cheapest at my local Dollar General store and even balloons at Dollar Tree.  Score!  I decorated the table using a tablecloth I bought after Christmas this past year on clearance.  Then I started planning out party food.

We set our party time as 2-4pm so it wouldnt be meal time and we could save on that aspect of not having to feed a whole meal to her friends.  We went with a great layout of snacks.

Foods included:

  • Ice Crystals (Cotton Candy Rock Candy Crystals) Frozen Party Ice Crystals
  • Melted Olaf (Greek Yogurt with candy corn, mini chocolate chips, and melted chocolate in shapes of twigs)Melted Olaf Yogurt Cups
  • Snowballs (powdered doughnut holes) – forgot to grab a photo of these!
  • Cheesy Snowballs (cheeseballs) Cheesy Snowballs for Frozen Party
  • Olaf Cheese Sticks  Olaf Cheese Sticks
  • Sven’s Carrots (baby carrots)
  • Iced Pretzels (yogurt covered pretzels)
  • Snowman Building Station – includes big and small marshmallows, pretzel sticks for arms, chocolate chips for eyes or buttons, and candy corn nose.Snowman Building Station

Games:

For games, we kept it simple.

  • Pin the Nose on Olaf – I simply attempted to draw Olaf on poster board and drew a carrot for each kid to tape on Olaf.  The kids loved this game!  Frozen Party Game - Pin the Nose on Olaf
  • Race to Build a Snowman  – I separated the kids into teams and they wrapped up a member of their team in toilet paper to look like a snowman and then taped a nose on.  Fastest team wins!  Disney's Frozen Party - Wrap up like Olaf
  • Freeze Dance – Play Disney’s Frozen Soundtrack and then stop it periodically for the kids to “FREEZE” in place.
  • Character Visit: Then we had some special guests stop by our party.  Local readers, let me know if you need their contact info.  They totally kept in character and did a fantastic job with the kids!  Plus they were very affordable! This totally made the party incredible!

For the cake, we used a Castle Wilton Cake Pan and my husband decorated it to look like Elsa’s Ice Castle.

It was a wonderful party and we stayed under budget!  I can’t find the receipts, but it was under $50 for all the food and cake and about $20 in decorations.  After paying for our special guests, we came in under $110 for a party with 12 of my daughter’s friends.  We didn’t give out goody bags, but instead let every child pick a Frozen coloring page that I printed to take home with them.  The kids were happy with that.
