Pickle's Minion Birthday Bento & Party

My little Pickle is 10! He asked for a Despicable Me Minions pool party. Having had Mia Bella's birthday party at the community pool just a few months ago, I knew we couldn't really decorate, and the kids would want to spend the whole time in the pool so no snacks or games were needed. I got blue & yellow balloons & Minion partyware & favours from Whidbey Party Store, a Minion cake & a big jug of lemonade. Pool parties are easy peasy lemon squeezy :)

We had the party the day before his birthday, so I recycled one of the cake toppers in his school lunch the next day.

I was in a total rush (what else is new) so was super thankful for my Lunch Punch birthday cake sandwich cutter! I did take a few seconds to sprinkle some yellow & blue sanding sugar on his yogurt. And tucked under the oatmeal cookie is a pouch of Minion gummy fruits snacks left over from the goody bag treats. The goody bags also held a Minion bubble soap, Minion bouncy ball, mini Play-Doh, lollipop, & Minion tattoos.

   

In the tiny party room the Minion tablecloth, partyware, & balloons were all that was needed - because bonus, the pool was already all blue & yellow :)

I didn't even notice until after the fact that the Minion cake had a swimming theme too! I honestly didn't look closely at the design in the bakery catalog, it was the only Minion cake so that was it:

Pickle noticed though, and he loved it. His favourite thing to do in the pool was float & paddle around in an inner tube :)

That's Beanstalk peeking out of the other inner tube above, and below, Sprout floats past Pickle and his pals.  Everybody had a great time!
