Polka Dot Party
81Polka Dot Party Supplies
A fun Polka Dot partyware design was released a few months ago. The minute I saw it I knew I had to write up a party page for it. So, here it is!
A Polka Dot party would be perfect for girls of all ages-from a 1st birthday all the way to a Sweet 16. This theme also works wonderfully for a baby shower or bridal shower. Polka dots are just so much fun that they will easily make any birthday party a success.
There are many different Polka Dot color combinations out there, therefore, I searched the Internet to find as many Polka Dot party items I could find that would coordinate with this partyware pattern. I think I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself.
You will find everything you will need for your Polka Dot party planning on this page including custom party favors, birthday cake ideas and supplies, a fun Polka Dot birthday cake gallery, birthday party activities, party attire, pinatas, games, custom invitations and more.

This Bright Dots Party Pack is what enticed me to create this party page. The colors are just so brilliant and fun. The Deluxe Party Pack includes: Lime Green Cake Plates. Bright Dots Dinner Plates, Bright Dots Cups, Bright Dots Napkins, Bright Dots Beverage Napkins, Lemon Yellow Table Cover, Purple Cutlery Set, Lime Streamer, Turquoise Streamer, Hot Pink Streamer, Orange Streamer and Birthday Candles.

Polka Dot Invitations
The first Polka Dot invitation idea is the personalized invite that you can purchase along with the Bright Dots Party Pack. This invitation is great and will coordinate with your entire party decor. The next Polka Dot invitation is from Tiny Prints. This invitation can also be personalized and has a funky Polka Dot design.
Polka Dot Birthday Cakes
A Polka Dot birthday cake is very simple to make at home. Simply bake a 9" X 13" cake, round cake, tiered cake, or whatever size you would like. Then, cover the cake in white icing or white fondant. Once completely covered, using assorted round fondant cutters cut the dots out of colored fondant. Randomly place the dots all over the cake. If you have never used fondant before, please visit my Fondant Cake Decorating page for ideas and supplies. You could also top your cake with colorful candy wafers to achieve a fun Polka Dot look.
Giant Cupcake Cakes are the latest trend in birthday cakes. You will see a photo of one in the Polka Dot cakes in the photo gallery below. These giant cupcake cakes are very simple to make. You just need to bake the cake in a Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan. Then, you can top the finished cake with colorful fondant dots.
Another Polka Dot Cake idea would be to apply an edible image to your tiered cake. These designer prints are offered by Lucks and there is a 'Happy Dots' design which would coordinate wonderfully with your Polka Dot party. These cake decorating strips are a fun and easy way to decorate buttercream, fondant, gum paste, chocolate, whipped toppings, fudge and ice cream cakes.
If you are making Polka Dot cupcakes, you could also top these with fondant circles or round confetti sprinkles.

Polka Dot Bottle Caps
Bottle caps are the latest trend. There is a Candy Dots custom bottle cap necklace available that would be perfect for your daughter's Polka Dot birthday party. Your daughter can wear this funky necklace on her party day or you could hand these out as party favors. Bottle cap necklaces make wonderful standalone favors. Simply purchase an inexpensive jewelry pouch for the necklace and they are all set to hand out to the party guests. You could add a few pieces of small candies in the bag if you want as well.
Another idea would be to make the bottle cap necklaces. You could purchase just the bottle cap and make the necklace yourself. This would also make a fun party activity for older girls.

This is one of the cheeriest party themes that I've seen in years. I especially liked the cake you showed. It's appropriate for all ages and even male or female. Thanks for the great ideas Janet.
Oh, these look so amazing. Of course, I so not think you have to keep them for birthday parties, just think about the possibilities for a baby shower!
I was thinking you could also use them for a wedding shower!
Great ideas!
Love it! All things spotty and dotty are just great! (Hence 'dots and spots').
Oh - and I want that cement mixer!
The dot cakes are so cool!
