Honestly I never thought I would enjoy planning my son’s birthday parties.
Sounds a little mean right ? Well y’all know how much I love planning and having parties !! But when it comes to buy stuff I always underestimate myself… Well I can & did have an amazing boy party… Proof is in the pictures y’all !
So glad my son’s party was up to par comparing against all the parties I’ve had for my daughter.
Details:
°• I made the back drop with cheap paper fans and hot glued them on to a very thin piece of paneling. And added the letter balloons on fishing string.
•° Glued tiny lizards on cheap tiny clay pots and placed gummy worms inside.
°• Dressed up the glass bottles drinks by also glued the lizards on them. They came off easy & the kids kept them.
•° On the main table I had two different kids of the HARBIO gummy frog’s.
°• The very real looking worms that I put all around the smash cake were amazing and tasted like bubble gum. (Oriental Trading)
°• I also made the real looking dirt cake dessert and put in little small plastic pots and placed gummy worms on top.
•° Blue Jello in clear cups with a frog gummy on top. The perfect ponds !
°• The big cake obviously was so amazing I have a local lady that does all my cakes.
•° Party favors were bug nets and bug catchers to put bugs and worms in & reptile tattoos.
°• A local reptile store bright the reptiles to the party they were really good with the kids.
•° The chocolate covered pretzels were “ants on a log”.
°• I also used a old window, piece of lattice and mini chalk boards for a bit more decor.
Check out all the details below !! If you have any questions please ask.
Thanks so much for partying with us !
Below are a few pictures of me in the process of making this party possible:
