Barbie Movie Extravaganza
You’ve decided to throw a party that’s all about Barbie, and you’re excited to share your theme with your guests. The Adult Barbie Extravaganza is a celebration of all things Barbie, from her iconic pink wardrobe to her glamorous lifestyle. Here are some ideas to help you unveil your theme and set the tone for the party.
Invitations
Your invitations should reflect the Barbie theme, so think pink, glitter, and glam. You can make your own invitations using pink cardstock, glitter, and Barbie stickers, or you can order custom invitations online.
Be sure to include all the important details, such as the date, time, location, and dress code (think pink and fabulous).
Decorations
The decorations are key to setting the mood for your Adult Barbie Extravaganza. Think pink and girly, with lots of glitter and glam.
You can use pink balloons, streamers, and tablecloths, and add some sparkle with sequins and rhinestones. You can also create a Barbie photo booth with a pink backdrop and props like tiaras, feather boas, and oversized sunglasses.
Food and Drinks
The food and drinks should be just as fabulous as the decorations. You can serve pink cocktails like the Malibu Barbie Pink Cocktail [1], and create a dessert table with pink cupcakes, candy, and cookies.
You can also serve Barbie-inspired dishes like the Supreme Court – Pink Jumpsuit Barbie costume [1].
Activities
No Barbie party is complete without some fun activities. You can have a Barbie fashion show, where guests can show off their best Barbie-inspired outfits. You can also have a Barbie trivia game, with questions about Barbie’s history and pop culture. And don’t forget to have a Barbie karaoke session, where guests can sing along to their favorite Barbie songs.
Invitation Design: Sparkle and Pink
If you’re throwing an adult Barbie theme party, the invitation design is a crucial element that sets the tone for the event. The invitation should be fun, playful, and reflect the Barbie theme. Here are some ideas for designing the perfect invitation.
Custom Barbie Graphics
Custom Barbie graphics are a great way to make your invitation stand out. You can use images of Barbie dolls, pink and white stripes, polka dots, and other Barbie-themed graphics. You can also use Barbie fonts to add a playful touch to the invitation.
If you’re not sure how to create custom graphics, you can hire a graphic designer or use online tools to create your own.
E-invites vs. Physical Invites
When it comes to invitations, you have two options: e-invites or physical invites.
E-invites are a great option if you’re on a budget or if you want to save time. You can create a custom design and send it out via email or social media.
Physical invites, on the other hand, are a more traditional option. They can be more expensive, but they can also be more personal and memorable.
You can create custom designs and have them printed on high-quality paper. You can also add glitter or other embellishments to make them more festive.
Whichever option you choose, make sure to include all the important details, such as the date, time, location, dress code, and RSVP information. You can also include a playful message or quote that reflects the Barbie theme.
Venue Decoration: Dreamhouse Come Alive
Are you ready to step into the world of Barbie and bring her Dreamhouse to life? With the right decorations, you can transport your guests into a life-size dollhouse. Here are some ideas to make your venue a Dreamhouse come alive:
Pink Carpet Entrance
Roll out the pink carpet for your guests as they arrive at the party. A pink carpet entrance is the perfect way to welcome your guests and set the tone for the party. You can add some glam to the entrance by placing a life-size Barbie cutout or a pink balloon arch at the entrance.
Barbie Box Photo Booth
Create a life-size Barbie box photo booth where your guests can take pictures and capture the memories of the party. You can use a cardboard box and paint it pink or wrap it in pink wrapping paper. Cut out a hole in the front of the box and add some Barbie-inspired props like a pink convertible car or Barbie sunglasses.
Life-Size Dollhouse Elements
Transform your venue into a life-size dollhouse by adding Barbie-inspired elements. You can add a life-size Barbie dollhouse, a pink chandelier, and pink curtains to create a cozy and stylish atmosphere. You can also add some Barbie-inspired furniture like a pink sofa, pink chairs, and pink pillows to complete the look.
Dress Code: Chic Meets Iconic
Are you excited for your upcoming adult Barbie theme party? One of the most important aspects of the party is, of course, the dress code. You want to look chic and stylish while also embracing the iconic Barbie aesthetic. Here are some tips to help you achieve the perfect look.
Barbie and Ken Inspirations
When it comes to dressing up for a Barbie theme party, the possibilities are endless.
You can take inspiration from Barbie and Ken’s iconic outfits, such as Barbie’s pink gingham dress or Ken’s classic blue suit. You can also put your own spin on their looks by incorporating modern trends and accessories.

Your guests will be thrilled to receive goodie bags filled with Barbie-inspired items that they can take home and cherish as a memento of the fun-filled evening. Here are some ideas for creating the perfect party favors:
Miniature Barbie Collectibles
What better way to celebrate Barbie than with miniature collectibles? You can find a variety of miniature Barbie dolls and accessories online or at your local toy store.
Consider including a miniature Barbie doll or accessory in each goodie bag, such as a mini Barbie convertible car or a mini Barbie Dreamhouse. Your guests will love having their own miniature Barbie collection!

Event Photography: Capture the Magic
You’ve gone through all the trouble of planning the perfect adult Barbie theme party, so it’s only natural that you want to capture all of the magic of the event.
Event photography is the perfect way to do just that, and there are a few things you can do to ensure that your photos turn out great.
First, make sure that you have a good camera. While smartphones can take decent photos, a dedicated camera will give you much better quality.
If you don’t have a camera of your own, consider hiring a professional photographer. They will have all the necessary equipment and expertise to capture the best shots.
Next, think about the lighting. Good lighting is key to getting great photos.
If your party is indoors, make sure that the room is well-lit. You can also add some extra lighting, such as string lights or candles, to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
If your party is outdoors, try to schedule it during the golden hour, which is the hour before sunset. This will give you the best lighting for your photos.
During the party, make sure that you take plenty of candid shots. These are the photos that will really capture the spirit of the event.
Don’t be afraid to get creative with your shots. Try different angles, poses, and compositions to get the best results.
Finally, don’t forget to take some group shots. These are the photos that you and your guests will treasure for years to come.
Make sure that everyone is included in the photo and that you take multiple shots to ensure that you get at least one good one.
