True and the Rainbow Kingdom Birthday Bash
“One Mom, One Wish Tree, and a Lot of Frosting”
One sleepy Tuesday morning, my daughter looked up from her cereal, eyes wide with rainbow-fueled determination, and declared, “I want a True party this year.” I hadn’t even had coffee yet, but I nodded like, “Of course, darling,” while my brain screamed, “Wait… who’s True again?!” A few episodes (and a lot of snack-time dance breaks) later, I had been fully indoctrinated into the sparkly, feel-good world of True and the Rainbow Kingdom. Suddenly, I too believed in magic wishes, talking cats named Bartleby, and the power of rainbow sprinkles to solve pretty much anything.

And that’s how this mama went from overwhelmed to overjoyed, diving headfirst into a whirlwind of color-coded streamers, glue stick emergencies, and what might be the cutest birthday party theme on the planet. I’m here to tell you that you don’t need a party planner or a $500 balloon garland to make your kid’s dreams come true. You just need a sprinkle of creativity, a dash of patience, and—most importantly—a free party kit made with love (and a touch of glitter-induced chaos).
How to Create a Rainbow Wonderland
It’s the night before the party, you’re surrounded by half-inflated balloons, and your printer has jammed for the third time. Been there. But here’s the good news—you don’t need a party planner to make rainbow magic. All you need is a budget-friendly color palette, a few clever tricks, and maybe a backup roll of tape. (Seriously, always bring extra tape.) I started with True’s signature hues—think sky blue, cotton candy pink, sunshine yellow, and of course, every other color known to Crayola.

I hung tissue pom-poms from the ceiling, covered the table in a cloud-print tablecloth I found in the clearance bin, and stuck sparkly stars everywhere. If it didn’t shimmer, I hot-glued glitter onto it until it did. My favorite part? The DIY Wish Tree. I found a small fake tree on sale, cut out some gold stars, and let the kids write down their wishes to hang on the branches. One kid wished for a puppy. Another asked for “more juice, please.” My daughter? She wished for another birthday party the next day. Iconic. It was so sweet and surprisingly meaningful—plus, it doubled as the perfect photo backdrop.
The Free Party Kit That Made Me Look Like a Pinterest Mom
“Your Printable Lifesaver”
Let me just say this, there is no universe in which I should be designing party invitations. I once cut a circle that looked like a potato. But when the custom invites I liked were $85—yes, for a digital file—I rolled up my sleeves and did the unthinkable. I opened Canva. And that, friends, is how the True and the Rainbow Kingdom Birthday Party Kit was born.
I made it for moms like me—moms who love their kids fiercely but do not have time to figure out Adobe Illustrator. This kit has everything: beautiful, editable invitations, backdrops that will make your photos pop, adorable welcome signs, thank-you cards, snack tags, and even coloring pages. Yes, I went all out. No, I don’t regret it.
The designs are cheerful, whimsical, and 100% inspired by True’s magical world. Everything is editable in Canva (which is free), and I made sure nothing cuts off poor Bartleby’s tail. You can use it all digitally or print it at home. And trust me, when your guests get that invite? They’ll think you hired a professional. Meanwhile, you’ll be sipping lukewarm coffee in your pajamas, feeling like a total legend.

Speaking of birthday parties, we avoid to see anything basic, especially when it comes to children’s birthdays. By unusual, I mean something that isn’t typical Floral theme, but rather something like what’s in this page or Polka Dot Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse Backyard Picnic and Mickey Mouse Funhouse Safari baby shower/birthday invitation templates.
True and Rainbow Kingdom Inspired Cake Ideas
Let me paint you a picture: the room was quiet, the lights were low, and I walked out with the cake like I was holding Simba on Pride Rock. My daughter? She gasped like she’d just met True in real life. Her eyes got huge, her little fists clenched with excitement, and she shouted, “MOM, IT’S RAINBOW!” I’m not crying—you’re crying. The cake didn’t even need to be professionally made. I just stacked three colorful layers, added some swirly buttercream, and topped it with the character printouts from our kit. Instant magic. And slightly crooked. But still—MAGIC.

We also made rainbow cupcakes (from a box, shhh), fruit skewers arranged by color, and popcorn with edible glitter that we called “Bartleby Puffs.” The kids went wild. Parents asked for the recipe. I lied and said it was a family secret, when really, it was “melted candy + vibes.” You don’t need to stress about the food. Just keep it colorful, sweet, and fun. If the cake stands tall, the frosting is bright, and the candles are lit, you’ve done it. You’ve created a dessert table worthy of the Rainbow Kingdom—and probably a few sticky fingers, too.
Crafty Calm Zones (Party Games)
Here’s a little tip from me to you: somewhere between the bouncing and the frosting frenzy, the kids will need a break. That’s where the Rainbow Crafts Corner comes in. I set up a small table with markers, glitter glue, stickers, and all the printable coloring pages from the kit. True, Bartleby, Zee—they were all there, waiting for tiny artists to bring them to life. One child turned a paper plate into a Bartleby mask. Another created a whole comic strip starring True and a marshmallow army. My daughter made a “wish ticket” for each of her guests. I teared up at least four times.

It was quiet. It was sweet. And for the introverted kids (and tired moms) it was a little slice of heaven. I even hung up their creations on a string with clothespins, creating an impromptu art gallery that doubled as decor. The kids beamed with pride. Parents took photos. It was peak Pinterest—accidentally. Never underestimate the power of a coloring table. It keeps hands busy, minds calm, and gives you five minutes to sip punch and pretend you’re at a spa. Or at least somewhere that doesn’t smell like frosting and markers.
The Grand Finale: You’re the Real Magic, Mama
So here we are. The confetti has settled. The wish stars have been collected. The last cupcake has been eaten (probably by you after bedtime—I won’t judge). And you did it. You pulled off a birthday party filled with magic, wonder, and enough rainbow sparkle to last a lifetime. You didn’t just throw a party. You created memories. You watched your child light up with joy. You brought True’s world to life in your own backyard—or living room—or wherever you made the magic happen. You are the real Wish Star here.
So go ahead and pat yourself on the back. Take the longest shower of your life. Brag just a little on Instagram. And remember: it doesn’t have to be perfect to be unforgettable. Kids don’t remember if the banner was crooked—they remember how you made them feel. And mama? You made them feel loved. You made them feel seen. You made them feel like royalty in the Rainbow Kingdom. Now take a deep breath. Maybe pour a glass of wine. And start planning next year’s theme. Just kidding. You have six months. Enjoy it.
