Throwback Thursday to a Superhero 5th Birthday Party thrown almost 2 years ago. Browse photos below ... links to products can be found under each photo.
Thursday Tips:
Throwing a party doesn't have to be tedious or laborious.
1. Browse your local shops for a starting point. Target, Hobby Lobby, and Michael's all having trending themes that cost little. Stock up on the basics like napkins, plates, candles, etc. For all other items:
2. Purchase other more custom or individual pieces from one stop shops like . These sites have designers who create coordinating products for everything else you could ever want - custom hats, place mats, labels, favor bags, etc. Most are also totally customizable. This will save you hours of time on research and lots of money on shipping since they are being shipped from one shop. And Zazzle routinely has sales from 40-50% off which = $$$ saved.
3. JUST SAY NO to DIY and ETSY. Don't get me wrong, I used to love Etsy (I even had a shop), but shipping alone from different shops adds up, often times themes and colors don't coordinate since they are from differing shops, and DIY often times takes FOREVER. Who has time for all that printing (also costly) and cutting? Not me.
4. Don't Overspend on Cake ... never spend lots of $$$ on something that you eat (or if you are a kid, half eat) ... period! Buy a pre-bought cake and simply dress it up. This is a delicious cake that we added sugar wafers to the side to look like skyscrapers. Add some themed confetti, and number candle, and your child's superheros and , you are done!
5. Keep the Food Simple. Don't spend lots of hours in the kitchen or lots of money on food that kids simply won't touch. Order pizza and breadsticks in and complete the meal with a simple salad and fruit plate on a coordinating platter. Both kids and adults will be satisfied.
