Lego Thank You gifts

One of the Thank you gifts for my son, Wyatt, lego birthday party I am making little coloring books. But I couldn't decide what I wanted to do a book, pocket style, pad or just buy them. Well buying them was out of the picture, since I always try to keep cost down.
Well the best way of course is to text your sisters and send them pictures and let them help you. LOL. Thanks Kim and Beth. We decided on the pad style.

And you can't forget the crayons. Not gonna make these, decided was easier and cleaner to buy.

If you would like a link to any of the ideas above just click these links. Pad, Book, Pocket, or Buy.

Star Wars party is DONE!!

Some of the decorations I did. I hung paper chains, the silver star garlan and I made the black star garland. They were just black star cardboard cutouts that I got on clearance at Party city and then I sewed them into a garland.

I made a star wall with black plastic tablecothes and I got the stars at OTC.

Everyone had a great time at the party.

After we ate and the kids played for ever we sang happy birthday and blew out the Darth Vader candle.

Wyatt couldn't wait to open his presents. Seriously he asked every 15 minutes, LOL.

I never did get a picture of Wyatt of the kids in thier costume, but I did get one of them all playing. And I am so glad it was nice out, they all got to play outside most of the time.

I got this box from a friend. It was her couch box and then it was a pirate ship at her sons peter pan party. And today it turned into a star ship.

The food table. I saw all these cool food tags on the internet. I am not usually one for labeling my food, but come on Yoda ears (pickle spears) how cute is that.

I also made these light sabers with melting chocolate and pretzels rods. They were a huge hit and all three dozen were eaten.

The table and centerpieces turned out great. We had the dark and light side tables. The centerpieces were Wyatt's drawings that I scanned and copied. The poor kid got tired of drawing though so I ended up mixing in a few silver and gold star wars labels.

The Cupcakes my good friend, Nette, made. She is also the one who made the popcorn cupcakes last year for his carnival party.

Star Wars gift bags

Here is a pic of the gift bags for Wyatt's Star Wars party tomorrow. They turned out super cute I think.
I started with a black bag from Oriental Trading Co. The bag was to tall though so I cute several inches off the top and then made new holes and restrung the handles. Wyatt wanted to help put the star stickers on, but that lasted long enough for 1 bag.
I did up the bags by family since there were alot of siblings gonna be there, but each bag has girl/boy items in them. Also everything I got was either on sale of clearance. Items in the bags our-
Star Wars puzzle from Dollar tree
Star glasses & necklace
Star Wars Silly bands (from valentines day)
Glow in dark braclet
Pixie Sticks (lightsabers)
Star Wars stickers and fruit snacks
Glow in the dark stars

Star Wars Party Ideas

So I am going to do something like this at the party. But my stars will just be big silver foil ones. Not sure if they will be made or if I will buy them.

I love this idea of the black cups and colored stars, might even try to get stars that the kids can keep. Like the curly one.

And of course I will be having Nette make a R2D2 cake. Have to have that.

I would love to find enough wrapping paper rolls to make these light sabers.

I love this idea, Yoda Soda. Sprite and green sherbet. Will have to go into a big punch bowl so you can see the cool green. We'll see though.

Ok and the biggest thing is I would love to find one of the guys to dress up like Darth Vadar and come visit, but we will see on cost.

Wyatt's carnival Party

The birthday Boy!

Everyone was a good sport wearing the clown nose.

We had a Wyatt's party at a Community Center a friend of mine works for. It is an awesome place, it has a kitchen and lots of room. We actaully do most of our parties here. Alot of my decorations I got from Oriental Trading Co.

I made these signs wiht cardboard and some paint.

I think Wyatt was in shock when he walked in.

My mom made this awesome striped curtain to hook on the front door.

The place look awesome. I had lots of help from some great friends. We used the big rolls of plastic table cloth to make tent like top from the ceiling.

Not sure if you can see on the walls, but I ordered old circus posters form a website. And they were only $4 each. Awesome price. Not sure if you can see in the pics, but the centerpieces were metal buckets with pin wheels in them surronded by peanuts. They turned out super cute. Here is a link to a better picture of them.

Our buddy Matt who lives down the road from the community Center brought his tractor down and gave all the kids a hay ride. It went over very well, they all loved it.

We had lots of games set up for the kids to play. Some home made other bought at Party City. The signs were also from Party City.

I got a 5x7 picture from each of Wyatt's past birthdays and had them on display. So sad and happy to see him growing so much. :)

The presant table. We also had circus music playing in the back ground.

My parents brought there grill out and Ezra was nice enough to cook up the burgers and dogs.

I taped red crepe paper to a white plastic table cloth for the food table. And everyone was so nice and all offered to bring a side dish to share. This helped alot on cutting cost.

We had a huge candy table. The ferris wheel I ordered of Hobby Lobby website and alot of the candy came from the dollar tree.

The awesome popcorn cupcakes my friend Nette made. The red and white wrappers are the Oriental trading co. and she had the popcorn label made at staples.

I got the gift boxes from Oriental Trading Co. and the favors are from party City and the suckers where also from OTC. I filled littel ziplock bags at the end of the party and put the candy in the kids gift boxes.

Here is all what Wyatt got. Are day was as big as this pile.

Here is a link to one of my posts with some of my inspirational ideas while I was plannign the party and some things that I did use. Like the napkins and plates and invite. Enjoy and have a look around.
