Choose a poodle party with a retro Parisian feel, mixed with a kitsch interpretation
that includes Eiffel towers and indulgence of ultra femininity. Or give a poodle party
with a fifties twist of pink poodle skirts and a sock hop.
Here's how to give the girls a howling good time with a pink poodle PAW-ty:
- Dress up the little doggies in Parisian accessories: Your little pink poodle princess
and her entourage will look "Tres chic" in pink or black berets, pink or white
gloves, and frilly pink boas. Go ahead and wrap a pink boa around every child's
chair! The sweet pink poodle bracelets, left, available from Celebration Express,
can also serve as a napkin ring holder. These decoration ideas do double duty
as a favor. Très magnifique! Search also for pink princess items, such as the
candy tiara necklaces and pink tiara suckers available at Oriental Trading
Company. You may even hold a fashion show!
- Make it a pet project: arrange an adoption. Provide a "make your own" or a no-sew
pink poodle plush for each girl. (You may want to provide identifying tags or
stickers for each child.) The pink autograph poodle, left, is the perfect way to
customize the toy. To give away the pink poodle puppies, have the girls gather
for a pink poodle hunt. Another way is to simply come out with the litter of
puppies and announce the adoption. The adoption ceremony itself will be most
memorable for the girls. Here's how to get the girls acquainted with their new
"pet":
- Start by providing small accessories, such as a brush, a candy necklace, a
doggie collar or leash, and a bowl (such as Kooky Chews candy). Ask girls
to groom their pet and "feed" it to begin caring for it. Girls can decide if
their puppy is a girl or boy and what the name might be as part of the get
acquainted process.
- Next, have all the kids stand up and do the following in front of a crowd:
- rub the plush on their head to make their pink poodle smart;
- give their plush a big hug so that it will have lots of love;
- nestle the pink pooch near their stomach so it won't ever go hungry;
- brush up against their funny bone so it can be funny, and on their
knee because you "need" them too, etc.
- Finally, provide each girl with an official looking "Certificate of Adoption"
where you customize for the child by completing, signing and dating or
stamping the form for authenticity.

Foods for a Pink Poodle Party
Serve up oodles of pink poodles! The Parisian pink children's tea service for four, left,
will give your part the right touch, and it will serve as an heirloom keepsake.
- Pretty in Parisian pink: A pink poodle party calls lots of pink party foods, and just
a few pink princess accessories to give them a dog gone good time. The pretty
pink would look nice with a pink mousse spread (cream cheese and lox whipped
together). If salmon is not an option, a few drops of food coloring should do the
trick.
- Bone Appétit! Serve up croissant sandwiches and mini quiche appetizers with a
selection of fresh fruits, such as chocolate dipped strawberries which will be
most memorable for kids. Top off the selection with Parisian pink lemonade (rim
the glass with a lime then dip in pink sugar before pouring). Or make a pretty
pink mocktail of sparkling apple cider presented in a plastic champaign glass and
topped with a splash of Grenadine.
- Bon-bon Appétit! French are famous for desserts, and a pink poodle party is the
perfect opportunity to provide an array of French treats, including chocolate
mousse, chocolate fondue and chocolate bon-bons, of course. Other devine
selections would include chocolate e'clair, Madeleine cookies dipped in pink
coating, and pink meringue cookies. The birthday cake might be pink petitefors.
You also have creative license to cut pink dog bone shaped cookies. And even
an old favorite, chocolate sandwich cookies, gets a Parisian pink lift when you
dip them in Wilton's pink candy melts.
Setting the scene fifties style:
Your little pink poodle princesses will be hopelessly devoted to the princess poodle
theme whether it's at home or a party at the bowling alley:
- Walk the dog for an ice cream social. Have the pink ladies walk the dog to an ice
cream social at Baskin Robbins for bubble gum ice cream! Join the birthday club
for a free ice cream. Or make a frothy pink 50's style soda at homefrom vanilla
ice cream, lemon lime soda, and grenadine.
- Groom the little doggies. Your little pink ladies will enjoy a frilly fifties make over
with frou-frou hairdoos of pony tails and ribbons. Next, provide party goers with
pink poodle bobby socks and charm bracelets.
- Make it oh-sew nice! Sew a pink poodle applique to a simple felt skirt or a
bowling shirt. Here's how to make your own pink poodle costume for the
birthday girl.
- Pink Tulle makes a lovely backdrop whether it's a fifties party or a French theme.
Drape it around a mirror or on the tables.
