Disney Aladdin Theme Party Ideas

It’s a whole new world for Elise who turned a year old, and on her special day, she made fond memories with her doting parents, her sister, family and friends in an unforgettable birthday celebration. The Gloria Maris has been turned into a maharajah’s royal palace, leaving one to wonder if magic freely flowed from the creative brilliance of Bespoke Manila. Thanks to Nice Print Photography, we can see every happy moment with Elise in their beautifully captured snaps.

Elise’s invites were written in a script resembling Arabic calligraphy and came in rhinestone-embellished boxes that depicted the elaborately carved windows typical of Moslem architecture.

A flower-laden archway with drapes and Moroccan lanterns bid Elise’s guests welcome to the sumptuous feast that awaits.

As soon as they entered the party hall, the guests were dazzled by a stunning display of yards of drapery in the color of precious gems – amethyst, sapphire, ruby, and garnet— on the ceiling. Each length of fabric has gold fringes that together evoke the exquisite royal attire worn by Maharajas and Maharanis. Huge, colorful gemstone-like decorations and Moroccan lamps created visions of Aladdin’s cave of wonders.

On a raised platform, a big LED wall is set inside a glittering rectangular frame that resembles the pishtaq that surrounds castle archways. Standing outside two arches on either side of the stage are statues of an elephant and two camels, the preferred mode of transportation of Aladdin’s tribe, in the absence of a magic carpet, that is.

Cloths that matched the hues of the gemstones on the ceiling were used to cover the tables. A golden lamp perched on three soft pillows, tulips in a tall glass vase, and a lovely bouquet of roses and carnations serve as the centerpieces for each table. Other tables had exquisite floral arrangements, white lamps, and vintage lanterns.

Like everything about this party, Elise’s cake can only be described as magical. The intricate gold gate and the golden filigree design on white fondant are examples of the attention to detail that the pastry chef exhibited. We love the fondant versions of Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, chaperoned by the mischievous Abu, that are about to take off on a magic carpet ride! A fondant Genie coming out of his golden lamp is just the perfect topper for this unrivaled Aladdin cake.

The children must have been spellbound as Aladdin and Princess Jasmine entertained them with songs in an enchanting show specially made for them. There were fun games and activities with tons of incredible prizes to keep up with the youngsters’ almost limitless energy!

Only one word can adequately describe this photo wall: luxurious! With plush velvet drapes in the background and a royal maharajah sofa, guests gamely strike a pose for some Instagram-worthy snapshots. Check out the beautifully patterned umbrellas that mimic the peacock’s grand plumes and demonstrate the splendor of the Sultan’s court.

The Genie was right when he said, “Today’s special moments are tomorrow’s memories,” and Elise will undoubtedly think back fondly on her happy childhood when she sees this family portrait in the future.
