30 Rocks!

My dear friend celebrates her 30th Birthday this year.  She is a one-of-a-kind girl with a true love for music.  What better way to recognize this milestone than to throw a "30 Rocks! Birthday Party".  We had a couple of rock games and mexican themed food.  Such a fun time with a great friends - no better way to spend a Saturday night!!

Key Points:

 - Entertainment - games are a great way to break the ice and keep the party moving.  I had the guests draw numbers (so couples would be broken up) and we played a Rock Music Themed "Catch Phrase".   The winners got the Rock Star Doll.

-Food - finger and "grazing" foods are always perfect for gatherings.  I had chips and salsa on the table with the Birthday Girl's cupcake.  I had a buffet table with taco "fixings" and biscuit empanadas. 

-Themed Decor - DIY Cakestands - $2; Rockstar Doll, Hobby Lobby - $5; Personalized Picture Frame, Ross - $5.  

Corbin's Super 7th Birthday Celebration

My son Corbin knew one thing for sure when I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday party this year.  He wanted a SUPERHERO theme (which was perfect since The Avengers opened the same weekend).  Here are some of the pics from the party! 

 

Some Key Points:

Entertainment for Kids - I had a station set up for the kids to make super hero wrist-bands.  I pre-made the bracelets with cardstock, felt, and ribbon. The kids then used shapes and glitter glue to decorate.

Party Favors: - I had several glass containers that I taped super hero themed powers (Shapeshifting, Laser Vision, and Flying) and filled with candy for the kids to put in super bags. 

Photobooth:  Usually at Halloween Corbin chooses a Super Hero to dress as so we had costumes for the kids to "dress up" in. 

*Tip - buy extra costumes after Halloween in a size or two larger to last longer
