Cut the traditional three-circled Mickey Mouse silhouette head and ears out of black paper. Measure and cut a piece of white paper into a circle that is approximately one-half inch smaller in diameter than the "head." Glue the white paper onto the black-paper head, leaving an even border around the edges. Use a red pen to write the party details on the finished invitation.

Decorate the party area with red, blue, yellow and green balloons, as these are the main Mickey Mouse Clubhouse colors. Choose a tablecloth, plates, napkins and flatware to match. Purchase a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse pinata and let it do double duty as a table decoration until it is needed for games.

Hand out Mickey Mouse Ears and a few balloons to the guests as they arrive. Play a CD of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse music to entertain little Mousketeers while you are waiting. Encourage them to dance or bat their balloons around without letting them hit the ground until the song has ended.

Send the party guests on a simple treasure hunt or create a puzzle that needs to be put together with clues. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes offer a lot of problem solving/clue-based interactive games for their young audiences. Other traditional party games can be changed to meet the party theme as well. For instance, "duck, duck, goose..." can become "Donald, Donald, Goofy..." or "Simon Says" can easily become "Mickey Says." Musical chairs is a party favorite and can be played to the tunes of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse songs. Finish off the games with the pinata.

Frost and decorate a cake with the party colors. Purchase a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse toy or set of figurines, and use them as decorations for the cake. Allow the guest of honor to keep the toys when the party is over. If you would prefer to serve cupcakes, frost each one with dark chocolate icing. On the upper edges (at eleven o'clock and two o'clock), press a chocolate cookie flat side down to make mouse ears.

Present each guest with Mickey Mouse-themed favors, such as coloring books and crayons or bubbles. Allow each guest to take home his or her own Mickey Ears, and provide bags for the candy everyone gets from the pinata.
