You can see this in action in this TikTok video. We had everything from Great Shape Barbie (with monster protein balls) to camping barbie with magic s’mores bars!
- Barbie Beach or Pool Party – the Barbie movie wouldn’t have been the same without the beach scenes. Take advantage of that and go with a full on beach Barbie bonanza! Make this beach cake or these sand pudding cups and serve lots of tropical pink drinks!
- Superstar Barbie Night – let the girls be superstars for the night with makeovers, karaoke, and star shaped treats!
- I Heart Barbie Night – go all in with the pink and the hearts! You could even make it a sleepover!
- Barbie Dance Party – one of the best scenes in the Barbie movie is the dance party! Add a dance party to your party for some guaranteed fun and giggles!
