Circus Cake Deco

Here is some of the Decorations I have made for the cake. Still lot more decorations to make.

Props for circus Party

 Here is a cupcake stand I got for some goodies to display on.  Not sure yet what I will place on it, but thought it would dress up the buffet table a little. Along with some other deco items I plan to add.

I got this ticket booth to place the tickets in the window area for kids to tear off when they come to the party.  We will have it placed in the entry way.  Each child will receive 3-4 tickets.  The kids can use the tickets to redeem their take home prize.  Prizes will be in-place of goodie bags.  Each child will take home 3-4 prizes.

We have a trampoline and we were planning to make a tent top ourselves, instead I found this circus tent cover, which saves us so much time doing it ourselves.  I'll just add some balloons, and some other deco to spruce it up a bit.

That's all for now :)

Circus Invites

Here are the Invites I have created for the circus theme party.  I have 4 completed and 12 more to go.  I gotta say, these are a lot of work. :)

4rth Birthday Planning Continues

 Here are some more stuff we will add to the party.  Some cocktail tables with LED lighting in the color scheme of the party.  As you can see, there is gonna be a lot of Lightning going on.

                            This year we will have a DJ (Booked) to entertain everyone with music and games. Along with a surprise other entertainer.  (this one I can not share, but it will be FUN!) I will post pictures after the party for all to see.

                        My Husband is going to be cutting out some clowns for me, we will try to have a lot of them.  Some will hang from the high wire (that we will be adding) some just randomly standing here and there.

We are going to build a tent peak to go over our trampoline as a focal point and maybe if there's  time add some lighting inside.  This will be fun for the kids (after-all there are trampolines at the circus and under a tent).

Some other projects that that we will have are  making couple carnival games.  Such as hit the ping pong ball off with a water gun, and will have to see what other ones would be fun for all.

Food - We will have Carnival food and other.  So, there has to be a pop corn machine, hot dogs, pizza, ect.

Invitations- I have the layout figured out, now just to get started on them, is another thing.   :)  I know I have 8 months, but it will fly by to quick.

I still have yet to figure out what I would like the cake to look like.  I have so many ideas, but I have to settle for one.  hmmmmmm.  Will keep this as a surprise for last :)

Jason's 4th Birthday Planning!

So I have already Started the planning for my son's Jason's 4th Birthday!!  It's gonna be Circus /Carnival theme with red, blue, purple and yellowish gold colors.

So far I have ordered these Ostrich feathers for my Center pieces in the red, blue, purple, and yellowish gold colors.  Here is a picture of what it will look like but in those four colors together.  I am posting the color white for now cause I don't want to reveal to much of my final design for now.

I will be using these overlays in the same color scheme.  I thought they would be fun and circus like.  You can rent these at www.bigdayrentals.com

 

 

Now to add a little bit more fun, we got to have balloons, and not just any kind of balloons, they got to light up!  Since our parties start late, it gets dark real quick and we want to make sure you can have those colors light up at night as well (kinda like at a circus and a carnival).

Here is what I plan on getting from http://www.windycitynovelties.com

So this is as much as I will write for now.  I have much more coming soon :)

The Farm Party

So the Party has come and gone.  Here is a brief summary of what I decided to do for this theme.  Being a Farm theme, I created the cow, pigs, & chicks made from wood (with my Husbands help).  We rented some hay from a nearby store, which was free to rent (that was nice of them to offer that).  I made the checkered curtains and matching overlays to tie in all the colors an patterns together.  I added black table and chair covers with red sashes.  I made a area where the kids could pick the apples & corn we got from Apple Annie's farm, it included the fresh fruit and vegetable along with some fake vegetable props and along side were brown bags for the kids to bag them in. 

Centerpieces - I had set hay stacks on the tables with bucket of fake carrots & limes in them, with a few chicks laying around.  I tied the plastic silverware in napkins and taped little cowboy hats to them.

Behind the cake table, I used  tissue paper and construction paper to make a tree.  I had some leftover green streamer from last years Nemo party and decided to make a small cornfield background.  So I used that as the leaves and then I used my cricket machine to make the corn.  I also added some hay stacks around the cake table, along with come chicks.  I placed push cake pops on the hay bales.
