This last weekend we had a Super Mario Bros. Birthday for my oldest son, Thatcher.
Right now is OBSESSED with EVERYTHING Mario.
So of course he chose Super Mario for his birthday theme.
I was excited to get busy...and busy I did get...
Here are the invitations that we gave to his cute friends.
The Super Mario Birthday Banner.
Happy 5th Birthday Thatcher
The Cupcakes...
They were yummy.
The toppers were cute.
The table-scape.
I filled buckets found at Target in the party colors
with Goldfish and "Green Chips" (Sour Cream & Onion)
Both Thatcher's favs.
The Mario themed party plates, cups, etc. I got at
The pinata and perfect cloud balloons, which fit right in with the theme,
I also ordered from Birthday Express.
The gift bags for the kiddos.
They were filled with play-dough, bubbles, jumbo balloon balls, stickers, and M&M's.
We played two party games.
Pin the Mustache on Mario.
and
Mario Bingo.
The kids made English Muffin Pizzas.
They got to pick their toppings.
They ALL chose pepperoni.
The boys all got Mario visors.
I got the red foam visors at Michaels,
and cut the M's out of white
felt with sticky back with my Cricut.
The girls got gold crowns, just like Princess Peach!
Such a fun party! I'm so glad we got to be a part of it. Great job on all the details.
ReplyDeleteSuch a GREAT party! You are so creative My son wants a mario party for his 5th and I saw yours featured on Tip Junkie while researching. I was having trouble downloading the bingo and pin the mustache on Mario from that site? Is there any way you would be willing to share those files on your blog?
ReplyDeleteSorry - it was executive homemaker blog not tip junkie. Anyways, great party! I am sure your son was on top of the world with all the details.
