Toy Story Party Ideas to Steal From Polly's 3rd Birthday

In case you missed it, the fifth installment of the popular movie series Toy Story movie series was released in 2026. It was a nostalgic moment for millennial parents who first watched Toy Story in 1995 and got to experience the magic all over again with their kids in 2026. Talk about a full-circle moment!

With all the hype surrounding the movie, little ones were introduced to the beloved characters once again: Woody, Buzz, and Jessie. We can expect to see more Toy Story-themed birthday parties and kids dressed as their favorite Toy Story characters for Halloween.

Toni Gonzaga joined in on the fun and celebrated her daughter Polly’s third birthday with a theme she called, “Polly Story 3.”

If you’re planning to throw a Toy Story-themed birthday party for your little one, here are the details and party ideas we’re sure you’ll love!

Before diving into the nitty-gritty details of the party, decide on the venue first. Will it accommodate your guest list? Does it allow customized decorations? Is it available on your preferred party date?

If you have a specific theme in mind, like Toy Story theme, choosing a flexible venue that allows customized decorations is a big advantage.

Polly’s birthday was held at SuperPark, McKinley, Taguig City. The venue has a private function room for the party program, which was transformed into a scene straight out of Toy Story. Everything was inspired by the movie, from the balloons and character standees to the table toppers and other decorations.

But it’s not just the theme that matters. The birthday celebrant and guests should have fun, too! The goal is to bring your dream theme to life while making sure everyone has a great time.

SuperPark’s party packages include playtime for guests and access to a private party room. Weekday packages start at P999 per person and include two hours of play time, two hours of party room use, SuperPark grip socks, an e-invite, a digital party room e-banner, a dedicated party crew assistant, bottled water, free locker use, access to a basic sound system. Weekend party packages start at P1,250 per person with the same inclusions.

If you don’t have the luxury of time to plan everything for the party, consider hiring a party planner and coordinator. Their role is to help bring your dream party to life.

Simply share your desired theme, discuss your plans with them, and let them handle the details. Depending on the agreed scope of work, party planners and coordinators can also help find suppliers for entertainment, styling, giveaways, food carts, and more.

Polly’s Toy Story-themed birthday party was planned and coordinated by La Belle Fete, a wedding and event planning specialist. They were also the masterminds behind Alex Gonzaga’s Ralph Lauren-themed baby shower.

Meanwhile, the stylist’s job is to make the entire venue come alive with the chosen theme. For Polly’s birthday, the venue was transformed into a Toy Story wonderland. It felt like stepping right into a scene from the movie. The party was styled by Randy Lazaro, the same stylist behind Alex Gonzaga’s recent baby shower. He also styled Jerald Napoles and Kim Molina’s stunning beach wedding.

What’s a birthday party without a birthday cake? As mentioned in Toni’s YouTube video, Polly’s Toy Story-themed birthday cake was made by Audrey’s Pastries. It featured several Toy Story characters, with Jessie on top and Woody, Buzz, Forky, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, and Lotso decorating the rest of the cake. There were even character-themed sugar cookies to match. We think the cake was too cute to eat!

Audrey’s Pastries specializes in custom cakes and desserts. On their Instagram page, you’ll find previous creations featuring popular characters and themes like Super Mario and Bluey. They also offer non-character designs, including simple, dainty, and aesthetic cakes, as well as themes inspired by outer space, sea animals, coffee, bears, and just about anything you can think of.

Custom cakes are a great way to add a personal touch to your little one’s birthday celebration.

At Polly’s birthday party, her special guests were none other than the Toy Story characters themselves. It was definitely a memorable moment!

Imagine seeing your favorite characters walking, talking, and singing right in front of you. Woody, Jessie, Bo Peep, and Buzz brought smiles to everyone’s faces, especially Polly’s. The only Toy Story character Polly didn’t seem to amused by was Forky, who served as the party host.

The party’s entertainment and hosting were handled by Madison Events, Inc. Aside from character performances, they also offer event venue styling, corporate productions, and photo and video coverage. Their performers dress up as different characters, act like them, and bring them to life through performances. They also offer characters from other movies and shows, not just Toy Story.

The Toy Story theme didn’t end with the party. Guests also got to bring home themed giveaways and souvenirs.

The kiddie guests received customized Toy Story-themed bags filled with snacks. The reusable snack bags were from Hello Rainbow PH, while the snacks were curated by Snackorama PH. These were thoughtful souvenirs for the kids to enjoy during or after their playtime at Superpark. Meanwhile, souvenirs for adult guests came from Ben and Bart Home and Cutie Pans.

Although not directly related to Toy Story, food carts are always a great addition to a birthday party.

When the kids and kids-at-heart get tired from playing, they can grab some snacks and pica-pica from the food carts. It’s a convenient way to keep guests happy and well-fed throughout the celebration.

Polly’s birthday party featured food carts from Happy Cup PH, Bubu Bars, Blk 8 Coffee, Dimsum Manila, Red Mango PH, Krispy Kreme, and Taters Popcorn.

With a variety of snacks, drinks, and sweet treats, there’s something for both the kids and aduly guests to enjoy.

Whether you’re planning an all-out Toy Story-themed celebration or a simpe birthday party at home, you can take inspiration from Polly’s third birthday to make your little one’s special day extra memorable.

All the best with your party planning!
