Amount of Time: 5-10 Hours
Budget: $100-$200
Age Group: 6 and under

Special Notes: Polka dots can be a special theme for a small child. Make sure to keep with the dot theme by having everything be colorful circles, from decorations to food. Also, to make it easier for you, decide on two or three colors so that you can limit colors of balloons, etc. It might be easiest to choose your child’s favorite colors.

The Cheetah Girls One World movie was released on the Disney channel on August 22, 2008, and it is still a popular party theme for tween girls. This is a successful follow-up to the other Cheetah Girls Disney Channel original movies, parts one and two. The storyline picks up with the girls headed to Bollywood to make their mark, however, only one can be the star of this group and this is going to cause drama! This is going to be fun and is filled with vivid colors, dancing, and singing…as they say: while in Bollywood, do as Bollywood does. Whether a movie-viewing party or a party party, find some inspiration here:
Send your invitation to your Cheetah Girls One World party by doing something bright and colorful. Using bright heavy card stock and write all of the movie details on the card. Hope punch a large hole into the invitation paper and pull through the hole a colorful piece of fabric to mimic the Indian look of a sari. You could invite your guests to dress up in their own Indian garb for the party. Baggy pants with long tunic shirts mimic the Salwar Kameez or ask guests to wear colorful scarves to the party…at the very least, ask the guests to wear bright colors!
