I cannot believe my first baby is already 4 years old! Hollings is so wonderful. She’s brilliant, funny, and of course (like most other 4 year olds) obsessed with the movie Encanto. That’s why it was no shock when she told me she wanted an Encanto themed birthday party. If your child is looking to do the same, and you’re wondering where to start, look no further. I’ve listed out all of the details, and linked the products on my like to know it link at the bottom of the post.
Invitations
Since this past year was Hollings’ first year in school, she actually had friends to invite to her birthday party! Which meant invitations were more important than ever. I found these cute, customizable invitations on the party city website.

Balloon Arch
If you’ve seen pictures of any of my kids birthday parties before, you know I love a balloon arch. You can find a kit for pretty much any theme online. They make it so easy, and I’ve gotten so good that I can do one by myself in under and hour. I have an electric balloon pump, which is an absolute must.
Cake Toppers
I have done everything for cakes in the past, from getting customized cake toppers from Etsy, going to a custom cake baker, and ordering one from Walmart. This year I have to say I did the bare minimum and just picked up a pre-made rainbow sprinkle sheet cake for $17 and stuck Encanto cake toppers on top. Hollings loved it even more than she loved the custom cake shop cake I ordered her for $60 last year.
Yard Decorations
I am NOTORIOUS for purchasing things online that are way too small. These yard decorations were no exception. I thought they would be much more prominent, but they were probably less than a foot tall each. Would I purchase them if I were to do this again? Probably not, but I’ll link anyway.
Piñata
The piñata was a last minute touch, because Hollings had one at her birthday party last year and wanted one again. She picked this one out herself at Walmart.
Slip n Slide
Since Hollings is a July baby, we thought it fitting to have water games outside for her party. Hollings has her own personal bouncy house that her grandparents bought her, so we set that up, along with her blow up pool. The only thing we bought new for the part was the slip n slide. It was a hit, especially with the boys at the party.
