This past weekend I threw a Bakugan Party for my son’s 10th birthday. The majority of the party theme was coordinated with the idea of Bakugan cards in mind. The Invitations were created to look like a couple of Bakugan game cards piled ontop of one another, except they were customized with my son’s birthday party details thoroughtout. The frontside of the invitations contained all the party information (When, Where, Time, Place and R.S.V.P). The backside of the invitaion contained a Map and a google map image of the party location, so guests had a visual clue as to where the party would be held.

So the Invitations were customized to match the fun water surfing theme.
The party was planned to have lots of water fun including a Big Water slide. Guest’s had a blast cooling off at this Cool Summer Party!

Every kid loves a Super Hero, and the hardest part is picking a favorite. For my sons’ fourth birthday, he requested a Super Hero Birthday party. At the time he was especially into those cute stout chunky super heroes referred to as Spiderman and Friends. He really liked all of them, which was great because it gave me a lot to work with as far as birthday party ideas and creating his own custom birthday party theme for his special day.

“Yoshi, Mario, & Luigi and don’t forget the Power up and 1-Up mushrooms, we can put those on the green frosting part of the cake Mommy”, she said to me in such a descriptive way. I wasn’t quite sure how I was going to pull this off, but my daughter had her own idea of how she wanted her 6th Birthday Party to come together. She requested her party theme to be a jumble of Nintendo characters, but among all of them, her favorite was Yoshi. So off to work I went trying to figure out how I can make this birthday Party theme special, unique, and include Yoshi as one of the prominent characters.

Mike and Sully are a couple of monsters that are cute enough to plan a whole party theme around. For my son’s third birthday I did exactly that, a Monsters Inc. birthday party. I was able to find many coordinating Monster Incorporated party supplies to use as decorations. However, I still wanted to put an extra special touch on things.
I was able to get my hands on an 8’ x 4’ corrugated cardboard panel to make a custom party back drop. By utilizing my overhead projector, I was able to make precise outlines of Mike and Sully standing on a giant present. Once my outlines were in place, I used tempera paints to apply the color. After the paint was dry, I used a Permanent marker to go back and make bolder outline marks over the dried paint. As a little added fun, I decided to cut out Mike’s Eye so that guests could pop their faces out through the hole for pictures. I also could have easily replaced the eye, and have the guests stand in front of the party back drop with the birthday boy for a fun picture. I like to send these pictures to the guests along with the “Thank You” notes. This way guests have a memorable reminder of the party, along with a short sweet note of thanks and appreciation for taking part in the celebration.
