Clover's LOL Birthday Party

Clover had her first official friend's party for her fifth birthday, and it was so cute. She requested an LOL themed party. We had so much fun putting it all together. Details below.

Image


I created this invite and made Clover into an LOL Doll! She loved it!

Balloons and decor found here: 

Image

The exact balloon arch kit isn't available right now, but check out this adorable one! I would use this in a second if I had a party do-over:ImageImage

Our cake was made by a local cake designer. I told her what we wanted and she totally nailed it! If you're local to Saint George, UT you should check out Cake Couture Utah!

We also order these cups and straws

We started the party with crafting LOL sticker sheets and making crowns. The sticker sheets are no longer available.

We also played pin the bow on the LOL, however it's no longer available where we purchased it from.

We ordered this LOL balloon kit which turned out really cute, but fair warning they don't float very well, even with helium. The girls still had a blast playing with them, and each child got to take one home.

We bought a second mini cake for Clover to blow her candles out on, just to avoid the accidental spitting on the actual cake! Haha!

Image

Why is it that opening presents is the highlight of every party? All the kids CAN NOT WAIT!!

Image

Image

Don't mind Clover, she's just digging for treasure in the middle of her party!

Image

I think she had a great time turning five!

Happy fifth Birthday baby girl!

The Office Birthday Party

Image

Tralee asked for a The Office themed party for her 13th birthday. One thing about my kids getting older is their appreciation for entertainment I favor. It's actually quite fun, so when my teen asked for this particular party to celebrate her birthday, I was all too happy to oblige. I think it turned out pretty cute, considering we put it together in less than a week. Here's short video of what we did:



Our first order of business was coming up with an invite. All we did was find a Dunder Mifflin logo online, drag and drop it onto a pages/word document and select an office looking font for the verbiage. I removed our actual address for blog purposes.

We wanted to get decor items next. We wanted it to look like Jim and Dwight were the party planning committee for Tralee's birthday. We found this kit below on Amazon and it was exactly what we were looking for! Beer me some perfect decor please! Click the picture below to find it on Amazon.

Here's what it looked like when we got it all up. So funny!

Image

We also wanted to hand out some party favors, so we decided to have a Dundie Award Ceremony at the end of the party and give everyone their own Dundie. Tralee awarded people things that they accomplished during the party like the award for wearing "The blackest shirt" or "the most sentimental gift giver." It was pretty funny! We went with these awards for the Dundies. They come in a set of 12. Click on photo to find them on Amazon:

We also had a table with The Office stickers that we encouraged everyone to take at least a few. Since decorating Hydro Flasks, phone cases, computers, and school binders with stickers is totally legit right now, we didn't have any trouble getting rid of these:

These are also good:

As for the food and other decor, we had a lot of fun coming up with ideas! Pictures and free prints below.

We found the simplest white sheet cake at Walmart, removed the one flower that was on it, and used pink icing for the letters. We couldn't find a red chiclet for the center, so we went with a red starburst instead.

We had this on the front door when the kids walked in:

I hope this helps you plan your own The Office party! It was seriously so fun to put together and really easy too!
