Rainbow Dash Pony Party

This year my sweet little daughter wanted a My Little Pony theme for her birthday party, and her absolute favorite pony is Rainbow Dash! So I focused more on her for the main elements and fun details. Being a mom I have watched more that a fare share of kids TV shows (I have to admit that I actually kind of enjoy it) so I was pretty familiar with the characters. 

When the guests arrived they each got a Cutie Mark
I printed a bunch of different cutie marks on tattoo paper so the kids could pick something to fit their personalities.
We put them on their cheeks - not their flanks!
Then they got a pair a Pegasus wings
I made a variety of sizes and colors of wings following this simple tutorial here.
Here are pics of some of the girls all pony-fied
birthday girl all Dashed out of course!
Now time for games!
EXACTLY ON! I think someone was peeking....
Next was the Cloudsdale Obstacle Course - 
Rainbow Dash wants nothing more to be a Wonderbolt so we set up an obstacle course 
made out of clouds from her home Cloudsdale... 
The kids had to run and jump over/duck under all the clouds in 
10 SECONDS FLAT 
(Rainbow thinks she can do anything is 10 seconds flat) to become a Wonderbolt!
Once the kids completed the course they were given their Wonderbolt Wings.
 SO PROUD!
After all that running it was time for treats...
Rainbow Dash dessert table!
The main focal was my daughter's Rainbow Dash cake
We also had cupcakes with her Cutie Mark as well...
I had to find a way to include Rainbow Dash's pet turtle named Tank.
 
Rainbow is very loyal to all her friends and it is her 
'Element of Harmony'
She also likes to lounge around on clouds - 
I absolutely adore these cotton candy lollipops!
Rainbow is the only pony to ever create a Sonic Rainboom!
I made rainbow colored macarons - so yummy!
 
We also served Raindrop Drinks with rainbow striped straws and flags since the Pegasus ponies are the ones who help control all the rain clouds and weather.
 
There was one last activity for the kids to do while they snacked...
They each got a blank pony and got to color and decorate them anyway they wanted.
Green is the birthday girl's favorite color... 
At end the party each kid was sent home with some totally awesome 
Rainbow Dash party favors....
Rainbow Dash inspired favor boxes were filled with candy.
Some sweet shades will make anyone look 20% cooler
Thanks for checking out my daughter's special birthday party. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did :)
