Party Printables

My son’s 7th birthday party was so much fun! We had it at a martial arts academy and the kids got to be ninjas for 2 hours and bonus they kept the kids entertained the entire time! I had several DIY crafts for this party! I really loved how this party turned out and all the guest loved the food and decorations!

I made so many things I will be posting as a series to share all the projects I did! But here is list of everything I will be sharing!

DIY Party List:

• invitations
• party signs
• 3 large lego blocks for decoration
• favor bags
• lego block soap (for favor bags)
• lego minifigure crayons (for favor bags)
• easy ninja headband
• rice crispy sushi treats
• serpent veggie snake
• Gluten Free Cookie Cake

Lego Ninjago Invitations:

I  made this invite to print 2 per page ( I use greeting card/ card stock paper). I have photoshop so I added different ninja fonts to the invite but you can add text by using the free version of PicMonkey and use the Shojumaru Font.

Save picture as jpg or pdf file and open in a editor program to add text.

Lego Ninjago Party Signs:

I made 4 of these party signs. I printed them on card stock paper, then cut and hot glued onto a skewer (toothpicks work too). I like to use balloon weights to stick the signs in to. You can add helium balloons if you want. I did not this time.

I used PicMonkey to make the signs. You will select: Design- square. Add your Shojumaru Font. You can do one with Age and one with “Happy Birthday NAME”.  I also selected the Frame on the sidebar to add add a simple edge. I did 20 thickness black and a 15 thickness red for the frame.

Large Lego Blocks Decorations: 

You will need rectangle boxes, solid colored wrapping paper, toilet paper or paper towel rolls, scissors, tape and glue or hot glue gun.

Wrap rectangle box in colored wrapping paper. I wanted to use 3 different colors but Dollar General only had Yellow. I think it still looked awesome! I used tissue paper boxes but Capri Sun boxes work great too.

Cut your paper towel roll to be about 2-2 1/2 inches high. I only did 3 boxes so I needed 10 of these. 6 for top and 2 each for bottom boxes.

Wrap the 2 inch pieces as best as you can. You can fold wrapping paper in side the tubes bottom edge, that seemed to help some. Mine were not perfect circles, but it still looked great!

You will then attach 2 inch pieces to boxes. I used a hot glue gun and it worked great because none of my top pieces came off.

I did not measure when I glued them down I just eyed it to make it even. If you are a crazy perfectionist then measure away and make those legos perfect!

We had a DIY Hulk Party for my little man this year. I bought him this awesome hulk shirt from Amazon in a 3 pack fruit of the loom Marvel Heros pack. It came with a Spiderman shirt and a Wolverine shirt.  The shirt has more of an under shirt feel so I layered it under a plaid shirt. He looked so cute!

I used toys and books we already owned for decorations. I made this banner from construction paper cut into triangles, hole punched, and put on balloon string.  My 6 year old and I decorated them with markers. My boy drew some awesome Hulks! I also love the Hulk fist he added to the #3…he came up with that all on his own!

I made cupcakes with added green food color to the cake mix and the frosting. I also made cupcake toppers tapped to toothpicks. I used the toppers in the centerpiece decorations too.

Free for Personal Use: I made free for download Superhero Squad Cupcake Toppers since most people won’t  have just a Hulk Party

If you have read my other party post, then you know I love me some cookie cake. I have one at pretty much every party I plan!

I put my son’s hulk toy on as a decoration. The cake icing got a little messed up during transportation, but it looked like the Hulk had been smashing it already. Totally made it work!

For the party favor bags I used colored cardstock paper. I hand wrote, “Thanks for Making Evan’s 3rd Birthday a Smash” and added Hulk stickers to each one. I stapled them to filled plastic lunch baggies. Super simple and super cheap!

My son’s favorite gift was the Hulk hooded jacket. It was so freakin’ cool with it’s mesh mask built in!

I’m sharing my oldest son’s 5th Birthday Star Wars Party!

I purchased both my boys a Star Wars costume. It was 8 months before Halloween so I figured I would definitely get my moneys worth out of these costumes!

I served hamburgers, fruit tray, chex mix party mix, chips, and drinks. Pretty standard party food, but I wanted to have those cute Star Wars Food Labels. We had Hans Burgers, Jedi Mix, Yoda Soda, and a Wookie Cookie!

I made these fun labels. You can print and use them at your next Star Wars Party!

I used these labels to make centerpieces. Just tape them to a toothpick and place inside a balloon weight.

For the cakes I bought them from the grocery store. We had them write Wookie Cookie on it and placed one of my son’s toy Chewbacca on it! I love Cookie Cakes and have them at every party!

My father in law and brother in law were both just as excited about the Star Wars theme party! They actually volunteered and paid to rent costumes! They are awesome and I didn’t ask how much they cost to rent. I’m guessing $50-$75. I had the Star Wars theme music playing when they made their entrance!

We had so much fun playing with the Darth Vader and Chewbacca mask!

For party favors I bought Star Wars Coloring books and other Star Wars merchandise from the dollar store and dollar bins from Target. I also printed and cut out these free mask from http://starwarsblog.starwars.com!   No longer on there but you can get them here now Geek Mom Mashup.

The party was a huge success and lots of fun!
