Cast* David Kohlsmith as Marsha Mello
* Dana Puddicombe as Jessicake
* Isabella Leo as Peppa-Mint
* Kaia Ozdemir as Tropicarla
* Grey Griffin as Apple Blossom and Babycino
* Khary Payton as Buncho Bananas
* Michael McDonald as Lettuce
* Elizabeth Simmons as Mrs. R. Bow

Trivia* As of this episode, Jessicake and Marsha Mello are officially 7 years old.
* This is the seventh episode to feature only four voice-actors, following "Toads and Tiaras", "Patching Things Up", "Frog Wild", "Snow Way Down", "What Wood Lincoln Do?", and "A Star is Scorned".
	+ This is also the first episode with four voice-actors since "Frog Wild" in which Jessicake has a speaking role.
* This is the first use of the track "Wigglin Out" since "Trick or Treat", which premiered four years before this episode did.
* This is the first and current only instance that Jessicake confronts Marsha Mello onscreen.
* Beary Chill appears on the title card as the ground, with the bush resembling her cowlick.
* The leitmotifs of "Our Amazing Mother" from "Write and Wrong" return.
* According to Marsha Mello, planning a birthday party requires a certain "*je ne sais quoi*", which is French for "I don't know what". The phrase was borrowed into English as an expression of a quality that makes something or someone attractive, distinctive, or special in some way, but is hard to put into words.
* Among the guests is the white-haired mother from "Not a Loud".
* Jessicake is revealed to have kept the wild possum that previously appeared in "Coupe Dreams" and named him Duncan.
* The photos of Jessicake's and Marsha Mello's previous birthdays imply that the twins have been missing their two front teeth throughout their childhood.
* This episode reveals that up until the events of the episode, Jessicake has had no say in the planning of her and Marsha Mello's birthday parties.
* **Foreshadowing**: Marsha Mello is not wearing her tiara when she pulls up to Jessicake's sabotaged party, foreshadowing that she had used it to flatten the tires of Bella Bow's van.
* **Innuendo**: When Jessicake tells Marsha Mello that she plans to throw their birthday party for the year, she gets some sort of brown substance on Marsha Mello's arm that she (Jessicake) realizes is not mud.
* **Cartoon physics**:
	+ According to Jessicake, Marsha Mello has planned their birthday parties every year, even before they were born.
	+ In the ultrasound of the twins in the womb, Marsha Mello has a party hat on and blowing on a noisemaker.
	+ Marsha Mello's tiara is sharp enough to pierce the tires on Bella Bow's van.

References* ***Magic Cookie Mission*** - The title of this episode is a pun of the expression "life of the party," which refers to a lively, amusing person who is the center of attention at a social gathering.
* ***Alien*** - The way Duncan bursts out of Eunice's chest is identical to the iconic chestburster scene from this 1979 sci-fi horror film.
* ***Christina Aguilera*** - As Jessicake and Marsha Mello drive back home after leaving the party supply store, Marsha Mello references the singer's 1999 song "Genie in a Bottle".

Errors* **Plot hole**:
	+ Like in previous birthday episodes, it's never revealed what day and month it is.
	+ At the beginning, it is shown that Jessicake and Marsha Mello have five pictures from their previous birthdays. But there should be six pictures as they've already had six birthdays, and this episode takes place on their seventh birthday.
		- It's possible The Friendship Chair either forgot to take a picture or lost the photo of the twins' sixth birthday.
	+ Kitty Scanner, Rainbow Kate, Summer Peaches, Donatina, Peppa-Mint and Apple Blossom aren't seen at the twins' birthday party.
		- Furthermore, Beary Chill *is* at the party, despite Marsha Mello saying she was permanently uninvited in "Special Day". It's possible that she may have reinvited her after the events of said episode.
* In the photos of Jessicake and Marsha Mello's previous birthdays, baby Jessicake does not have arms. Marsha Mello's cowlick is also missing in the other photos.
	+ Two-year-old Jessicake's thumb isn't properly drawn
	+ In the photos of the twins' third, fourth and fifth birthdays, Jessicake and Marsha Mello don't look different in age than they currently do.
* In the title card preview, Jessicake's shoe (as well as part of her left leg) goes through the outline of the path. This was fixed when the episode aired.
