DIY Rock Climbing Birthday Invitation

This past year we tried out rock climbing at the Deerhurst Resort and my son loved it. He surprised us by making it all the way to the top several times. So this year’s birthday party theme was pretty easy to come up with! As with all projects, I searched around on the net looking for some great inspiration and found Martha Stewart’s rock climbing invite. LOVED it! So I went out to source all of the materials. I wanted the tag to relate a bit more to the six year old boys that we would be sending the invites to, so I designed a logo for the event, which I am intending to put on T-shirts to hand out at the party. Boys Rock!

Littlest Pet Shop | Birthday Food & Drinks

With the Littlest Pet Shop invitations gone and and the decorations finished (see earlier posts: Invitations and Decorations) all that remained to do was sort out the snacks, drinks and cake. For the snacks and cupcakes the kids and I made toppers. I simply downloaded LPS characters, created name badges for the food such as “Bird Food” and “Mouse nibbles” and toppers for the cupcakes. We cut them out and glued them to to sucker sticks and toothpicks, respectively.

Littlest Pet Shop | Birthday Decorations

The invitations went out (see earlier post) and the results were in. Twelve little girls would be attending Calla’s Littlest Pet Shop party. It was time to roll up my sleeves and start getting our house party-ready! We needed loot bags, decorations, games and food! Lucky for me, I had two pea-sized helpers to give me a hand and make it that much more rewarding.

Pirate Piñata

When my son turned 5, he requested a pirate theme for his birthday. Perhaps I’ll go into the other details of the party in a later post, but one of the components that I decided would be fun enough to keep ten 5-year-olds outside on a chilly November day was a piñata. The promise of candy and the chance to wack something triumphed over their chilly fingers and runny noses. Although I’m still finding gold coins in the backyard.
