Do you have a little girl who adores ponies? She might be very fascinated with these beautiful creatures. If she is, then she must love the popular My Little Pony toys and cartoons. My Little Pony has become part of any little girl’s world with its adorable appeal.

Since your girl adores these ponies and her birthday celebration is fast approaching, here’s one grand idea: why not celebrate it with a My Little Pony theme? It’s a cute and fabulous way to bring entertainment to your special girl’s special day.

Planning a My Little Pony bash is a lot of fun, but it can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you’re not familiar with the cartoon or the merchandise. If you’re worrying about this, don’t sweat it. Here are some easy pony ideas that’ll make everyone gallop with fun!

The Adorable Pony Invites

Most party stores will provide you with ready-made birthday party invitations in different cute designs. They already have catchy wordings and adorable pony designs to suit your little child’s birthday theme. If you don’t want too much hassle with these party factors, then these are your best option. Grab the design which you think will catch the guests’ attention. Print the details, and voila! Cute party invites to entice your little girl’s guests.

Maybe you like to make it a bit fancier and more special. If that’s the case, then pay a visit to an arts and crafts store and grab crafty materials for your own homemade invites. Mix that with a bit of patience and some creative juices, and you’re all set. One easy idea is to outline and cut pony shapes from colored construction paper. Write the details using pens with different colors, and sprinkle some glitter over it. Put inside colored envelopes before mailing to the guests.

Another delightful invitation is to get a picture of the birthday child wearing a pony costume. Print it out on the front flap of blank white invitations. Write something like “___ invites you to a Little Pony adventure at her birthday!”. Then put the party details on the inside flap.

You can also color pages of theme activity books. Ask your child’s help with this. When you’re done, tear the pages out, write the party information on them, fold and then send to the guests.

Be creative when writing the slogans for your invitations. It entices the guests more, so they’ll find the party worth going to. You can write “ Go to ____’s Ponyland Birthday Party! A fun pony adventure awaits you!” or “Flutter by ____’s exciting My Little Pony birthday bash!” With words like this, you can expect a large number of guests to come.

Pony Costumes

To make your child feel the Little Pony theme, let her dress up as if she’s a character from the story itself. Get her a cute My Little Pony costume, complete with dress, slippers, wings and even a wig and crown. You can find this at kiddie costume stores or party shops.

You don’t have to ask your kiddie guests to come in Pony costume, if you think it’s too much. Just ask them to come in their best pastel-colored clothes or dresses. As soon as they arrive, give them colorful unicorn horns made from cardboard to wear on their brow. Make sure it’s not too long so no one will get poked in the eye.

Playing Like Little Ponies

As all Little Ponies do, your little angel and her friends are going to get ready for some party fun and adventure at your party. Here are some enjoyable games to keep them preoccupied and excited.

• 

  Playing pin the tail on the pony
  Pin The Tail On The Pony – This game is a must-play at this party theme! Get a large poster of a Little Pony character without a tail. Then, cut some tail shapes from construction paper and attach double-sided tape at the back of each one. Let the kids line up a few feet away from the poster. One by one, they must try to attach the tail on the Pony while blindfolded. The kid who pins the tail closest wins the game.
• Mustang Roundup – Pick out or two kids to be the “rustlers”. The other guests will be the mustangs. When the rustlers hear you say “Corral ‘em!” the rustlers catch the mustangs. When the mustangs are caught, they are placed inside a place called the Corral. They can only be freed if they tagged by a free mustang. Let them play this game, switching rustlers, until they become tired of it.
• Musical Ponies – This is just like musical chairs, with a pony twist. Let the kids sit around in a circle. Give them a stuffed Pony to pass around, while the My Little Pony theme song is playing in the background. When the music stops, the kid holding the pony leaves the circle and gets a small treat. The last one out of the game receives a special prize.
• 

  A cool game of horse shoe toss
  Galloping Pony Relay – You need a couple of broomsticks or horse sticks for this game. Divide the kids into two team and let them line up at one end of the room. Put two chairs in the middle. Give each team a broomstick or horse stick. One by one, they must gallop and go around the chair, with the broomstick between their legs, as if galloping on a horse. The team whose members complete all their gallops wins the game.
• Horse Shoe Toss – This game is best played outdoors since you need to hammer small stakes or sticks through the ground. Get several horseshoes or small rope lassos.
