I absolutely love doing a DIY birthday party. Those that have been to one of kids' parties at my house knows I never purchase a birthday sign and I always have a theme. I love taking a theme and running with it. A friend of mine asked if I could help give her soon to be 6 year old an awesome ninja turtle birthday party and I was totally in. I searched pinterest and came up with some stuff on my own. This is what we came up with! It was a great party and all the kids and parents loved it! The best part though was I think the entire party food and all cost around $150.
This was the initial invite the front is pictured. The back I will try to get a picture of I don't want to put her personal information on the internet, but it was all the turtles with quote bubbles discussing the party. It is amazing what you can make on Microsoft Word.
My cupcake cake! I love making these, my first experience was with Sophie's Sophia the first one but that one wasn't very challenging. This one was a bit harder but it turned out awesome!
Sewage water aka: green lemonade
We did a few different games this one was toss the Frisbee in the pizza box!
We did a punch box. This took the place of a piñata and it was loved by all. Each child gets to punch a hole and they get everything inside. I will definitely be doing this again.
If you have been to one of my parties you have seen my homemade banners so a party wouldn't be a party without one. I love making them I never spend more than $5 on one and they look so much nicer than a store bought one.
The last game we did was Pin the Pepperoni on the Pizza. All the kids loved it
We decorated the goodie bags with ninja turtles and filled it with ninja turtle objects: diy nunchucks made with pipe insulation, pipe cleaners, yarn and duck tape, ninja turtle apples, ninja turtle fruit snacks, green playdough (homemade of course) and last but not least a blue ninja mask that was cut from felt.
Ninja balloons
We of course had to have pizza for lunch too since it was a ninja turtle party. It turned out so cute. Can't wait to get working on my next themed party for Jameson. Still can't believe he is almost 1. I hope you enjoy!
