"My Little Pony" Decorations

Since each of the Little Ponies has a special trademark that represents her individual personality, an easy way to keep your budget down is to dress your party using these elements along with pastel rainbow colors.

• Often, themed decorations will cost more than plain colored ones. For this party, opt for girlie pastel colored supplies. Pink, purple, yellow and blue are all ideal.
• Visit your local party or dollar store and purchase disposable plates, cups and utensils in one color, along with a tablecloth in a different color and napkins in another. This will create a colorful, layered look for your table. Keep your eye out for deals as each of these are popular shades used for baby showers and will sometimes go on sale.
• Purchase balloons and streamers in the same colors. These two decorations are some of the most inexpensive, but lend such a festive and fun touch to any party space. String the streamers across the ceiling and around doors. Scatter balloons with ribbon tails throughout the party space.
• If your daughter loves "My Little Pony" she's sure to have quite a few of the dolls. Incorporate them into your decor by lining a window sill, mantle or buffet table with them. Hang a birthday banner above them and you have a fast, simple focal point for your space.
• Head to the local craft store and incorporate the designs of each pony into your decorating plan. If the Birthday Girl has a particular favorite, consider using it exclusively. Otherwise, incorporate a little of each pony’s personality into the mix.  The ideas are endless.
• Do-it-yourself table centerpieces inspired by hearts, rainbows, flowers, stars, etc. are great ways to decorate.
