Disney Hen Party Decorations
Decorating for a Disney hen party is easy and a lot of fun. All you need is some Mickey Mouse ears, balloons and maybe some streamers or paper plates to make it look like you're inside the Magic Kingdom. Balloons are great because they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and they make your house look so festive. For a Mickey Mouse theme, we'd recommend using red balloons (because they're his colour) with yellow polka dots all over them. You could even add some glitter if you want to make them extra special! If you're going with a princess theme instead, try getting some pink balloons with gold trimming around them. You can also use pictures of your favourite characters as decorations.
