15 Sprinklicious Party Ideas

June 10, 2013 By Michelle Barneck 6 Comments

It’s was my birthday yesterday. Since I could not fit you all in my house I decided why not throw a little sprinkle party here and share a whole bunch of super fun ideas. I was looking over my perfect party pinterest board and a sprinkles cake caught my eye. That was it. I love polka dots and I also love a nice crunch and sprinkles combines the two. It was a match made in heaven!

Batman Birthday

April 15, 2013 By Michelle Barneck 8 Comments

Our 5 year old is little Mr. Superhero. He has been obsessed with superheros for more than a year. You can see proof here with his Super Hero Squad Party from last year. He loved it so much he wanted a super hero party again this year, but since many of the guests would be the same, we switched it up a bit and thanks to the Cricut and the Target Dollar Spot we decided on a Batman Birthday Party.
I made a fun Batman Birthday Banner with my Cricut (I’m a Cricut affiliate), tied it together with ribbon, and hung it to look like it was held up by bats. 
Download the free Batman Birthday Banner Cricut file.
I got the bat banner on clearance after Halloween, but you could easily create one yourself. 
We covered the wall with this amazing printable personalized skyline from Ander’s Ruff and had the kids color it while we waited for all the guests to arrive. We had cutouts of skylines and bat symbols spread around tables to add to the theme.

We had lots of fun Batman themed activities for the boys:
  • Vaporize the Villains – Attach a spray paint gun to silly string to create a goo gun and let them shoot at a plastic tablecloth adorned with Villain coloring pages.
  • Batcave – Create a cave by putting black plastic tablecloths over a table. Hang strips of crepe paper down from the ceiling of the cave along with glow bracelets. Scatter plastic bats around the floor. Have each guests climb through and retrieve a “power bracelet” and a “batarang” for the next game.
  • Batarang Blast – Stack colorful cups with pictures of villians on them. Give each guests a few tries to knock the cups down with their batarang (aka plastic bat).
  • Battle the Balloons – Have several helium balloons at varying heights for the kids to shoot at using foam disc shooters. (I got mine 2 for $5 at Wal-Mart though more expensive ones may work better.)
  • Batplane – Give each guest a piece of black cardstock and a lesson on how to make a paper airplane. (I was surprised how many had no idea how) Line them all up to see who’s Batplane flies the furthest.

I went easy with treats this year and just did a Batman Cupcake Cake from Wal-Mart and Invisibility Serum (aka water bottle dressed up with Batman symbol).

I like to make my boys matching shirts for their parties so of course this time they were Batman shirts made with iron-on. 
Download the free Batman shirt cricut file.

Get the Cricut Iron-on Bundle for $199.99 (normally $319.95)

We sent each guest home with  pack of goodies (Many of which were from the Target dollar spot 50% off making them 50 cents!):
  • Batman play pack – coloring book, stickers, markers
  • Batman hologram stickers and superhero “pow” stickers
  • Batman temporary tattoos
  • Batman stamp markers
  • Silver Airheads
  • Blue and yellow Zots candies
  • Batman bucket
The winners of the Batplane contest took home Batman Pez Dispensers.

The kids had a fabulous time and wore me out completely. This post is getting a little long, so stay tuned for the DIY Batman Birthday Party Invitations coming soon!

Tie Party Games and Take Homes

February 18, 2013 By Michelle Barneck 2 Comments

I realized that I had never posted the second half of our Little Guy in a Tie Party. It’s been a while so please forgive any less than optimal pictures. I’ve learned a lot since then. I just thought the ideas were too fun not to share. We had a green, black and white theme to go along with all things tie.

We decorated the take home table with a Tiepography ABC print and a picture of our boys in ties. Each guest got to take home some disguise glasses and a little guy in a tie Oreo pop. They also got to fill a little tuxedo box with green, white and black candy from the candy buffet.

Since it was a one year old party with lots of family and friends we just had a few games, but we made them span all ages. We started with pin the tie on the birthday boy. Your local print shop can print a photo poster size in black and white using a blueprint printer for about $4.

We also had guests wear ties and had an ugly tie contest. Boy we had some doozies.
Then, all the guys lined up for a Tie tying contest. It was great to watch and cheer them on.
We closed out the party with Camouflage (green, brown, and white cake) cupcakes with Candy Tie Cupcake Toppers. I got a green candy writer melted it down and went to town drawing ties. Once they dry you just carefully place them on top of the frosted cupcakes. We served them with mint chip and vanilla ice cream.
Our birthday boy had no hesitation with his cupcake. Gotta love a good cake smash!
Want to see more of the party? We had a fun DIY photo booth, Tie Banner, and Green, Black and White themed luncheon (which contained a surprising amount of options). See the part 1 post of the Tie Party here.
Speaking of parties, we have a big one coming up on Wednesday! It is our blogiversary and we’re celebrating with an over $500 giveaway! Don’t miss it!
