Polka Dot Birthday Party Invitations
If you are going to be making homemade polka dot invitations, just get to cutting circles out of paper that matches your polka dot color scheme. Or use a hole punch for small circles. Add them to a plain colored premade card or make your own plain card and embellish it anyway you like.
Use bottle lids, small saucers, or coins to trace out your dots. Then just cut them out for the perfect circle. Die cut machines are great for this as well.
Or just purchase scrapbook paper with polka dots on them. Print your party info on the white side. Fold it up half way. Then fold the top down over the folded bottom and secure with a circle sticker.
Polka Dot Birthday Party Costumes
Costumes for this theme are so easy. Just have the kids wear clothes with polka dots on them. Or you can cut out circles from craft felt and secure to each child with safety pins.
Another fun idea is to buy white t-shirts and fabric paint. Let the kids make polka dotted shirts to wear. This doubles as one of the craft projects and can be a favor for the kids to take with them.
Polka Dot Birthday Party Decorations
Decorations for this theme are all about dots, dots, dots! Place circles everywhere.
You're color scheme for this party theme depends on what party supplies you are going with. Just about any color scheme will work, from primary dots to pastels. Be sure and stay with that color scheme throughout your party decorating.
Hang round paper lanterns from the ceiling with fishing wire. Make them different lengths for fun.
Make large polka dots out of poster boards. Secure to the wall with poster putty.
If you want a little more dimension to your dots, use Styrofoam balls cut in half. Spray paint them and secure them to the walls.
For a birthday banner, cut out circles about 6-8 inches. Write a H on one, then an A, then a P, and so on until you spell out Happy Birthday. Hot glue your circles onto ribbon and string above the main table or on the front of your table.
Polka dot party plates are a great way to bring in your theme. Or just use solid plates in the colors of your color scheme. You can stick them on the walls for a fun polka dot effect as well. Another fun way to bring in the polka dot theme on your plain party supplies is to use circle stickers.
Balloons are a very inexpensive way to bring in color to any birthday party. And they are perfect for this theme because they are dots! Tie them onto a balloon weight and group them around the room. You can also let some of the balloons float on the ceiling with curling ribbon hanging down from them.

Polka Dot Faux Cake
I love to make these for any party or holiday. You'll find instructions on this fun idea here. You don't have to cover it with rose petals.

Go smaller and smaller as you go up and then add a fabulous topper on top.
