Thomas the Train favor bags

My friend's son Johnny had a Thomas party and so of course I had to hand create a Thomas just for him! :)

 

Here are the favor bags we created for him!

 

 

 

We put the name in the smoke cloud for extra cuteness and personalization! :)

Natalie's TOTORO party!

My "baby" girl just turned 3!!!

She has been dreaming of a TOTORO party for months now! It was both heart warming and nerve wracking at the same time!

"My Neighbor Totoro" was one of my FAVORITE movies growing up! I spent most of my childhood in Japan and when I was in the US watching pretty much all Japanese movies, so when my daughter took interest in it and LOVED it, it was so exciting!!

It was certainly going to be a challenge to create this very unique party for her though! :) Good thing mama has been doing this business now for two years!!

So here we go!!

Here is her birthday banner! I went with a completely different look than our usual scallop shape that you see in most of our banners. Totoro takes place in the woods and is very nature based, so leaves and acorns made the most sense. I was SO excited with how it all turned out! So simple with only one layer instead of 2-3 that we usually do, but it makes the whole thing really pop! :)

I also strung it through with twine for a very natural look.

Next up, cupcake toppers! Complete with three different charchters from the movie, her initial and age!

Then we have our "hanging decorations" wall. They can hang from the ceiling, or be put up on the wall. I LOVED how this wall came together with the charchters from the movie and her name in Japanese. (opens up so many more possibilites for parties when it doesn't have to be in english!)

Here is the birthday girl in her home made birthday shirt! (more on that in another entry!)

Having a ball!!

Favor bags!! With the three different charachters for the three different age groups we had at the party! (More on that in another entry)

Can't forget the cameo appearance by her little brother, Gavin! He was so cooporate and supportive of his sister's birthday in his own little home made Totoro shirt. *swoon*

(please excuse the missing sock! haha!)

Mama Rachel helping out with the little guy so I could take pics and enjoy Natalie's party.

**LOVE HER!!** So lucky to have her as my business partner!

Natalie and her daper boyfriend, Wes!



Having a ball with all of her playgroup friends!

It started snowing like crazy an hour before her party, so we were so thankful that her friends all came out to help celebrate despite the weater! So lucky to have such great people in our lives!

Throwing a party- Favors for different age groups

Many times at a party, there are different age groups.

 

For my daughter's party I split the party into three groups. The 4 and above, the threes, and the younger siblings or 1 and younger.

 

For the four and above, I found lego friends and a hello kitty lip balm

 

 

For the threes, (the majority of the kids) I did playdough and a playpack--I was aiming for a "restaurant survival  gift" for the parents. These playpacks are great! They include crayons, a coloring book and stickers....... usually for $1 at target or micheals and they come in so many different themes!

 

 

Then for the younger siblings, we did playdough (who doesn't love playdough?) and a pouch. Again........ restaurant survival!! :)

 

 

Obviously it isn't necessary to do different favors for different ages, but when I was putting this party together, I was looking for ideas....... so wanted to share!! :)

Pocoyo Favor Tags

How cute would these be to tie to your gift bags as a thank you to your guests for coming?!?
You could get a silver sharpie and write "thank you" on the backs too!
We could also create the gift bags for you. Included would be the clear plastic bag with Pocoyo popped on the front of the bag and a 2x5 thank you at the top that you attach to close the bag! Like this (but different colors!)

Our real life Goofy party is one of our best! But Charlotte never fails to send us AMAZING photos from her sons' parties!

But she was the one who's vision really put it all together! She added the balloons, streamers, and backdrop!

Real life party- Butterfly party!

We recently got some photos back from Nikki's butterfly birthday party! :)

 

Love the set up with the balloons and the favor bags!

 

Adorable cupcakes with the butterfly toppers! :) We highly recommend doing the cupcakes this way with only about a 1/2-1/3 of the cupcakes actually having toppers so that the toppers really pop, without taking over or looking too busy. Well done, mama!

 

So cute! With the name banner in the doorway!

 

 

Stay tuned for her sister Emma's birthday party pics!!

 

Thanks so much for sharing!!! :)

This was actually one of our original butterfly birthday parties..... and we just now finished up her 2nd birthday party.... a zebra Minnie Mouse party! :)  Crazy to think we've been in business long enough to do a 1st and a 2nd birthday party for the same child! :) LOVE IT!

 

Here is an adorable display of the favors! LOVE how creative she got with the tags and thank yous!

Monkey Favor Bags

To go along with our previous posts about our new monkey theme: here are our monkey favor bags!

 

 

The colors can be changed to match your party, but we used a lime green topper with purple "thanks" on it and a purple balloon with yellow initial.

 

The monkey is holding a ballon with the intial of the birthday girl! (Just like the matching invitations!)

elmo party

A friend of mine, Jess is having a party for her son Johnny who is turning 2!

She had us do some invitations and then loved it all so much that she asked us to help with the rest of the party!

Here are the matching thank you notes including a 3D Elmo!

Favor bags featuring Elmo and all his friends! 

And a welcome sign!

Unfortunately, Natalie was sick with the flu that weekend so we had to miss his big event at the Little Gym, which we were bummed about!

But I'm sure it was a great event if Jess had anything to do with it!
