My sweet, baby girl has been in love with her Minnie Mouse, since my husband and I got back from Disney World. It was just inevitable that her 2nd birthday would be done in Minnie Mouse. How did I save money pulling off her birthday party? I did it all: the cake (I've invested in several cake decorating classes), the dress (I've invested in sewing machines), and a friend let me use her Cricut to make Addison's banner (which will be placed in her scrapbook after the festivities). It just proves, if you do it yourself, you CAN pull off a nice party without all the $$$!
