There’s tons of invite inspo to draw from for the perfect Barbie Party. Here are some of our favs from our friends at evite .

Pick a fun Invitation for your Barbie party!

To Eat at a Barbie Party:

"Good food, good friends, and a sprinkle of imagination—life is a fabulous feast!" - Barbie


Serve up all the foods that are pink, fruity, or at least shaped like a Barbie crown. We’re thinking a dessert table will fit the vibe perfectly.


Level it all up with some Barbie inspired plates and glass candy jars .

To Decorate:

"Get your sparkle on. Show this world where you belong.” – Barbie


When it comes to decorating for a party Barbie party, think more Malibu than classic Barbie.


Malibu Barbie is much retro and tropical with bright neon colors (teals, bright pinks, and oranges) than classic Barbie. Pair these exciting colors with disco balls , palm tree leaves , and pool floats .
