One reviewer said: "Just what I needed! Easy to use and came out so cute!"
Another reviewer said: "Love my daughters new birthday invites. The program to design the template was very user friendly."

A party with a balloon arch is always one to remember, and this pink one is definitely on theme. We love the different pinks included, combined with some silver disco ball balloons. They're all different sizes too, adding some dimension to the arch and creating a stunning overall look for your party.

One reviewer said: "First time I have made a balloon arch! This was so easy and so beautiful, I would advise to get an a electric balloon pump."

Another reviewer said: "Balloon's quality is really good, very easy to inflate and the arch looks very beautiful. It is a wonderful product for the price. I really loved it. I definitely recommend it and would buy again."

How cute is this Barbie-themed banner? You can personalise it with their name and age, plus you can add their photo to it for an extra special personal touch. It has next day delivery, so if you are pulling together something last minute, this Barbie birthday banner will be with you in a flash.

One reviewer said: "It came rolled in a protective tube. Once it was unfurled it was ready to hang. Good quality of both material and photo displayed. Perfect for wall or window display to add a party atmosphere. I didn't get age on it so can be used multiple times for future birthdays."

Confetti is such a fun touch to any birthday party, and kids seem to love playing with it too. Not only is this confetti Barbie-themed, you can also personalise it, adding your little's age and name. This confetti really does make us feel like we're in a Barbie world and we are loving it.

One reviewer said: "I purchased some of this confetti just over a week ago and when it arrived I liked it so much, that I ordered more. The delivery was fast and the product beautiful, Can’t wait to see it on my tables at our Gender Reveal Party in June!"

A bright neon sign like this one from Urban Outfitters will look wonderful on the wall, under a balloon arch. It will create a fun photo opportunity, plus it can be reused again. We love that this is the classic Barbie logo, which obviously will go perfect with your party theme.

If you want to make your choice of Barbie sign more personal, then this is a great pick. The design is bold and looks fab on a shelf. This Made Happy Personalised Barbie Style Namesign would also make a super cute centre piece for a party table - the day is all about your little one after all.

With a magical design, these officially licensed Barbie Dreamtopia Paper Napkins are a small touch that can really make your child's first birthday special. They'll look the part on a party table, but they'll also be ideal for wrapping up slices of the birthday cake to put into the party bags.

This one is probably more for the adults, but this is a fun photo opportunity for everyone at your party. It makes you look like you're a Barbie doll in it's box, plus it's waterproof, so you can have it outdoors if you want. We love the quality here - it's definitely something that can be easily reused.

One reviewer said: "Barbie prop is INCREDIBLE!! I used this for a stage prop and it looked amazing! The size is perfect, i got a frame made from pipes to create a 'box' and this barbie front screwed perfectly onto the front, i am extremely happy with it."

These pink and gold ZERODECO Party Decorations will fill your party venue, creating that pink perfection atmosphere that Barbie is known for. This pack is affordable and all the decorations are easy to put together and hang up. They'll work for inside or outside parties (unless it's too windy).

One reviewer said: "Used these to decorate our garden for my daughter’s birthday party and they looked stunning. Love the fact they’re environmentally friendly and can be reused. Would definitely recommend."

As it's their first birthday, of course a big 1 balloon in hot pink is more than appropriate. This will fit in amongst other balloons and decorations beautifully, and you can even get the classic picture of you and the mini guest of honour with it. This also comes in a lighter pink which will work nicely too.

One reviewer said: "Great for birthday's and very large in size. It's been a few weeks now and it's still inflated. Would highly recommend due to price, size and longevity."

Another reviewer said:** "Lasted about 2months before we finally got sick of seeing it around and popped it. No holes no issues. Cheaper than shops. However I did use a straw to blow it up if you don't have a straw you may struggle a bit."

Something about bubbles just gets kids (and adults) excited, making these Barbie bubbles perfect on the party table for entertainment or as a cute favour in their party bags. We love the Barbie design, plus the fact they're a cheap and cheerful party favour that doesn't require lots of thought.

These Baby Pink Polka Dot Party Food Boxes will fit the theme and come at a fab price. They'll fit in multiple goodies, plus some cake, and they'll be easy for children to carry themselves. You could also use these to present the kids food if you're doing that at your Barbie party.

The Barbie Birthday Biscuit designs are gorgeous and so detailed - this is why we love small businesses! They're handmade and hand-decorated vanilla cookies, so they're bound to go down well with all your guests. They're individually sealed too, so they'll be perfect to add to goodie bags too.

One reviewer said: "Great cookies. Tasted great and so intricately designed. Arrived on time."

Another reviewer said: "Amazing quality, great price and fast delivery. Thank you. Already placed my 2nd order!"

To minimise the stress of shaping a sponge into the right shape, this PME Doll Cake Tin will make it easy for you to bake the skirt part of your your Barbie doll cake. Made from anodised aluminium, this baking tin will make baking your little one their dream birthday cake an absolute doddle.

If you want to go even further with the theme, a pink cake sponge is the way to go. This Betty Crocker Super Moist Strawberry Cake Mix is utterly delicious and easy to make. Cutting into the cake and seeing a pink sponge will be such a nice surprise, plus this is a pack of three, which is ideal for a larger party.

One reviewer said: "I never right reviews but this cake does exactly what it says in the box. Super moist and fluffy and delicious. Definitely leave in for a few extra minutes if using non grease bake wear. You won’t regret buying this trust me."

This adorable Barbie Celebration Cake features Barbie and her friends as decoration. It's a classic sponge with a jam filling, which is always a popular choice, plus the icing is super soft, making it a great option for younger children. Just pop a candle on top and you've got yourself a winner.

One reviewer said: "My daughter picked this cake for her 4th birthday, she loved it, pretty colours, cake tastes good and had the added extra of barbie stickers!"

Another reviewer said: "Lovely birthday cake, tasted nice, even had little stickers on the ribbon around the edge, which my daughter was super impressed with."
