How to Plan your own Undertale DIY Party

This Undertale DIY party was inspired to be a 13th Birthday Party for Frisk. I hope it inspires your parties. If you imagine something different for your party I would love to see it!

Backdrop

Lets get started with the background. I used a basic black dollar tree table cloth as the backdrop, draped black table cloths across the top to add more texture to the top of my display. You’ll find Flowey cutout in my Undertale Party Supplies shop and use green streamers to create a vine from Flowey to the table. The Happy Birthday Banner is included in my Undertale Alphabet Banner set along with the character cutouts in my Undertale Party supplies listing.

Party Table

Welcome to my super simple Undertale DIY Party table. More black was needed for this super dark game. Layering several black plastic table cloths with a sheer spider tablecloth I usually use for Halloween. I found this adorable halloween house at target this year which fit so perfectly on the Undertale DIY Party table. (Far right). The finishing touch other then food was to find all my fake yellow flowers and scatter them all over the table. Just like the beginning of the game where Frisk landed in a bed of yellow flowers. Genius.

I wanted to keep the background of my table very dark so all the colors of the printables and food would stand out.

This is the left side of the table, you’ll find a Spider Bake sale with Spider donuts, hand iced my myself with spider web icing. My “Sticks” are crunchy breadsticks. Upfront of the table are my Snowman piece mini donuts, Glam burger cookies and Butterscotch Pies are actually apple pies, Butterscotch pies are surprisingly hard to find.

My Right side of my table displayed my Virtue heart favors and Monster candy (Because this is a Halloween party for me). You’ll need an abandoned quiche of course and Temmie Flakes for your Undertale Party Table. Every party needs cupcakes and This Undertale DIY Party table has 13 characters as cupcake toppers and 4 different cupcake Liners.

The Main event at this Undertale DIY party was this amazing cake by Jaime’s Cakes in Ocoee FL. You can find his Cake toppers online if your looking for some of your own.

How to Plan your own DIY Final Fantasy Party

This Final Fantasy party was inspired to be a Rainbow themed baby shower by all the rainbow babies in my life right now. This party is mostly dedicated to my friends and their sweet babies. I hope it inspires your parties. If you imagine something different for your party I would love to see it!

Lets get started with the background. I used a basic white plastic table cloth as the base (Dollar Tree) and draped my rainbow plastic table clothes across from top to bottom. I pinned the top and sides in place. The tape banner was donated my a friend who just celebrated her rainbow babies first birthday. The top is meant to resemble clouds with white tissue paper pom-poms (Dollar Tree) and a printed Moogle. The Welcome Baby banner is available now in my shop and comes in Baby Shower and Happy Birthday along with the Alphabet Banner. I finished off the backdrop with some much needed texture by adding paper doilies around the banner.

Party Table

Welcome to my super simple Final Fantasy table. The table cloth is a combination of a white plastic table cloth (Dollar Tree) and a vintage lace curtain I already owned. I brought in my gold lace placemats to add some color into the design. On the far left I found the cutest little Cactus decoration from the Dollar Tree! I cut out some black spots and TADA! Little Cactuar table decoration! I literally told a stranger in the store how excited I was! My cute Final Fantasy cupcakes are the perfect addition to this party with the Final Fantasy cupcake liners and Toppers. I taped a Chocobo character cutout to the top of my cupcake stand to make a super topper! and surrounded the cupcakes with sweets, to make a dessert bar. The Dessert bar featured simple snacks like cream puffs, cream cheese bars and Macaroons.

The right side of my table is my dream baby shower activity. A Bath bomb Bar! I filled 4 jars with various bath salts and rocks. I’ve also collected a variety of bathbombs for this party including the adorable cactus bathbombs! My Guests will fill potion bottles with their desired bath salts for Potion baths. I used Halloween potion bottles from Target to my potion bottles, but in hindsight please get bottles with larger necks for easy transfer.

Food

Final Fantasy Party Cupcakes! These delicious cupcakes are from Publix. Vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (my Favorite) and Pumpkin spice with cream cheese frosting. YUM!

DIY Bioshock Party Menu:

• Final Fantasy Cupcakes (Publix)

Here is how I made my own DIY Bluey Party using only Small Businesses. This was such the simple party I needed to really have the time to celebrate time with my child. Here is how you can throw your own simple Bluey party while supporting small Businesses.

This post will be an overall summary of what went into making the party come to life.

Welcome to my simple fun DIY Bluey Party, Small Business edition. I decided to throw my son a simple pool party at our community pool this year (Mostly to keep everyone healthy, 2021 you know) and I wanted to showcase some other small businesses in the process! Lets start with the backdrop. Since this was a quick set up at a public pool I opted for easy set up and take down. I actually created this water effect for my DIY Bioshock party set up and it worked great for this set up too! I topped the top with blue dollar tree pom-poms. Check out this amazing Banner from MamamadeAU on etsy. This is their “For real life Happy Birthday Banner”, is it not the cutest!

Party Table

The party table was kept simple to show off all the cute things from the small businesses I supported. You can see the most adorable party hats I have ever beheld from MamamadeAU. The table held blue plates (duh) and a simple blue table cloth, capable of getting wet, so close to a pool with kids.

Table Decorations

Anyone else have these super cute plushies from the official Bluey Collection? We found ours at Target and couldn’t resist getting them for his birthday.

My Centerpiece

This giant Bluey didn’t make it to the party because I was afraid she would get all wet in the pool but she made an appearance at his 2 year old photoshoot with Lalalu Photography.

Food

My DIY Bluey Party Menu:

Keeping the kids happy and my menu simple I just included cupcakes and had the party between meals (3-5pm).

I got the best cupcakes from Publix of course in Orange (Bingo) and Blue (Bluey) Colors. I found the most amazing cupcake liners from Celestia Digital Shop. They have so many popular shows available as Printables in their Etsy shop. These particular ones are of Bingo and Blueys’ faces as a wrapper. They also included the tails in the printable! Adorable! I didn’t add them to mine because I was afraid of what a bunce of 2 year old’s would do with them. This file also included 12 printable cupcake toppers of some of the popular characters of the show.

Artwork & Invites:

My Party invitations were purchased from MamamadeAU with the most adorable graphics! They have tons of images to choose from including this cute little Bluey cake. Here was my invitation! look at how Adorable!

DIY Favors & Gifts:

Favors:

Favors was probably my favorite part, Other then the Bluey hats! You can find these Bluey and Bingo favor bags at MamamadeAU. They are a super easy printable to put together. I filled each one with lots of Bluey themed goodies from MamamadeAU too. Including a Feather Wand, Thank you Tag, Sticky Gecko, a Keepy Uppy Balloon and I thank you Stickered Lollypop. Check out all the other goodies they have available in their shop!

 Fashion

When searching for a Bluey themed outfit that could also work for my Bluey themed pool party I ran to Etsy for something handmade of course! I found Golden Cactus Tutus on Etsy. They were able to quickly put together this brother and sister look for my DIY Bluey party. Don’t they look adorable!

Thank you so much for joining me for my DIY Bluey Birthday Party Small Business Edition. Let me know in the comments if you are planning a Bluey Party. Did my ideas help you out?

Party Table

Welcome to my super simple Bioshock table. I love this terra cotta curtain and would recommend curtain tablecloths for any party! I need to get more. lol. The green fishnet was a last minute add on that I think adds just enough texture to break up the table.

Hello everyone! Welcome to my DIY Cardcaptor Sakura Party blog! You can find all the printables in my shop or as a bundle on Etsy! Keep reading to see how I put my own party together on a super tight budget!

Decorations

Backdrop

So many of my friends grew up with Card Captor Sakura (I was honestly jealous) because I was a Sailor Moon Girl. But this theme was so much fun from the research to planning to set up. I am falling in love! Sakura x Syaoran forever! But anyway, to the backdrop! I started with a pink Dollar tree tablecloth, Topped with a HUGE red poster board bow! Let me know if your interested in a tutorial, but it was honestly super easy. 2 Poster boards and hot glue. Throw in a gold star banner and my Card Captor Sakura Alphabet Banner and you have a great backdrop! Want to make it better? Add my printable Clowcards! I have 15 pages of cards just waiting for their new owners! 45 cards total. The best part is you get to use them again as décor in your everyday.

Party Table

Welcome to my super simple party table! All you need for this set up is a Red table cloth (Dollar Tree) and a lace table cloth! I thrifted this pretty floral one, its actually a curtain. I topped the table with some pink petal place mats from Michaels. It doesn’t get easier then 3 things.

Table Decorations

When I thought of Card Captor Sakura, I thought lace, and elegance and especially pink. It was easy to lean into a elegant tea party set up. Décor included several Kero plushies and Sakura Blossoms. Many of my platters and dishes are thrifted and I use as display items in my home regularly. My Tomoyo tart platter was actually from the Dollar Tree. If you look closely you can even see I used my own Manga as a platter! No manga was harmed in the making of this Party. lol. But it worked out so beautifully.

My Centerpiece

My Centerpiece is something I’m pretty proud of! I made this Card Captor Sakura Staff Wand! Its a printable from Megaceros on Etsy! It took a little while to put together but so worth it! I placed her in a candle stick holder and it couldn’t have worked out better!

Here is how I made my own DIY Animal Crossing Party on a Budget. This pandemic has strapped everyone for cash, but that shouldn’t stop you for making the most amazing Animal Crossing Party you can on a budget!

Our family chose Animal Crossing as my daughters 4th birthday party because she loves to play and its her first video game. We wanted to mark the milestone with this beautiful party. We decided to add an extra element to our Animal Crossing party by combining theme with Tea Party. My Daughters gift for the party was her very own tea set. Her and her brother had a great time eating their treats and drinking “tea” from her new Teapot.

This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

Backdrops are so much fun and a great easy way to get a bang for your buck. I found the light blue and white (behind the blue) plastic table cloths from the Dollar Tree. Fill the top with filler, I used sky colors to mimic the Animal Crossing clear skies I’m so used to in the game. You can find the white (Cloud) tissue puffs and pin wheels at the Dollar Tree as well. Of course you NEED all the insects so I snagged this large butterflies too, put them everywhere.

Find this super cute Happy Birthday sign in my shop as a easy DIY for your Party table. Top everything off with my Animal Crossing Alphabet Banner. You have a super effective backdrop for your Animal Crossing Party.

Party Table Decorations

Welcome to my Animal Crossing party table set up. I wanted to combine as many elements as I could to really bring the theme to life. On the table you will find Axed wood slices, insects, fossils, fruit trees and even Dinosaur Bones! I was able to throw this look together with what I had on hand, but that’s on being a party planner. Let me walk you through my process to get this look for yourself.

From left to right. You will need your gifts wrapped up like the Animal Crossing sky packages and tied up with a read balloon! I used a small wine glass to make the gift look like it was floating. Check out my fresh flower lloid (gyroid) planter pot! SO CUTE! You can find it here for your party set up, or just regular life.

I used a plastic dark green table cloth (Dollar Tree) and a soft bright green Easter badding (Dollar Tree) to top off the table to give the Animal Crossing grass. Michaels had pink petal place mats which fit this theme to a tee. Including fresh fruit is a must for an Animal Crossing party so I decided on Strawberries because they are my daughters favorite. You need tea cups for a tea party, So I pulled out some of my grandmothers hand-me-down china which fit in almost any theme. Combine all of these things with my Animal Crossing Character Cutouts and you have a Animal Crossing Party.

On the right you can find some tea treats and party favors for my little party guests. I found the macarons at Walmart and I turned regular peanut butter and jelly into little bears with a Panda cutter from Amazon. Inside the clear jar you’ll find “Shooting Stars” which turned into great sugar stars for our tea. I had a great time making my Bell Bag Favors. You can find these sweet burlap bags at Michaels and simply draw a brown star on them with a brown marker. Super easy and effective DIY for your Animal Crossing Party. In the background you’ll find even more flowers. I even found some peach branches in my flower stash, they had to make it to the table.

The Flowers!

This adorable lloid (gyroid) planter is from ThePinkStormtrooper you can find it on Etsy.

The Cake!

Ah, Our sweet, sweet cake! My daughters one request more then anything was to have a strawberry cake. Insisted on it. Lucky for me I found Jaime’s Cakes – Cakes – Ocoee, Florida on Facebook. He brought our vision to life! Strawberry cake with light strawberry frosting. It looks exactly like the Strawberry cake form the game. I’m excited to see what else Jaime will show off in future My Nerd Nursery Party tables.

An Animal Crossing party has so many fun ideas for Party Favors! Some stapes I recommend would be Chocolate Coins (Bells) and Flower seeds. I also included stickers and a squishy new neighbor. All of these fun goodies fit in the DIY Bell bag.

 Games & Crafts

One of the things I am most excited about were these Coloring page Paper Village Houses. I had my daughter color this one to show it off. Quite the artist is she not. You can find that file here in my shop! Its a great activity for any Animal Crossing fan.

If you need a Animal Crossing themed party game try this one! We played it during our mini park party and it was so much fun!

Animal Crossing Birthday Party – DIY Fossils and Party Games – Domicidal Wife

It was super easy to make the Fossils and even easier to hide them and little plastic bugs around the trees in our park. The kids had a great time finding all the lost things and were over joyed to get their Bell Bag Favors as rewards.

Backdrop

My Portal (2) party backdrop is a fun orange and blue combo of many different affordable items. Reusing the wheels from the Over the garden wall party, Orange and blue streams and simple while balloons I was able to create a organized chaos. Which I am Infact in love with. You can find the blue, orange and white table cloths from the Dollar Tree and well as the glowstick platters. Finish off the look with the Portal Party Alphabet Banner.

Party Table

I continued the blue and orange theme all the way down to the table cloth. I was able to achieve this look my cutting the table clothes in half. I decided to keep my decorations easy to copy, but if you have one please add any and all Portal (2) toys you have! I had silver place mats on hand which replicated the silver walls of the challenge rooms. I made sure to have square serving trays, keeping everything streamline.

If I were to recommend a time for this party I would say night! this party would be an amazing Sleepover theme! I used glow sticks in several of my decorations and even food which made for a great effect!

Welcome to my Hocus Pocus Party! This theme is so much fun for a spooky Birthday, Baby Shower or Halloween Party. Channel your inner Sanderson Sister and learn how you can make your own DIY Hocus Pocus Party for your event.

This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

My Hocus Pocus party backdrop is a basic purple tablecloth (Dollar Tree). I used chalk to make a outline for my potion smoke effect. You can find the tissue pom poms at Dollar Tree, I cut them in half to make double the amount. to highlight texture and “bubbles” I add balloons and a star banner (wish). Top everything with my I smell a child Banner.

Party Table

I decided to keep my table front simple. I used a plastic black tablecloth (Dollar Tree) and a spider web fabric table cloth in a triangle. Adding a shine with a copper circle banner (Dollar Tree) worked so nicely. The top of the party table filled up quickly, but if you look closely you can see my silver place mats.

Table Decorations

Table decorations are one of my passions. From left to right, add tombstones!! the Sanderson sisters spent so much time in cemeteries they work so perfectly. Help elevate your party food or décor try adding books that fit the theme. This black cool looking one is actually Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. Nestled in between the Hocus Pocus cupcakes and Black Flame Candle you can see a character cutout of Sarah Sanderson. My Black Flame candle is the easiest Hocus Pocus decoration and super affordable! The candle is black (Dollar Tree) and I created a printable you can Modge-podge the paper right to your candle. I found it needed to be higher on the table so I flipped a wine glass and hid the base with flowers. Sitting in front are the official Hocus Pocus cookies (Target).

You need pumpkins on your Hocus Pocus party table so I added some little ones I picked up from a local pumpkin patch. Another tombstone evened out the table. You’ll also need a BOOOooooOOOoook to complete your table. You can find your own spellbook in my shop, Its available in Sketchbook and notebook. The right side of the table held more sweets! Including witch popcorn mix (Target) topped with witch hats (Dollar Tree), and a huge chocolate cauldron (Harry Potter World). My table also included little Thank you Cauldrons for kids to take home.

I had a special guest during this party! No Ordinary Balloon Man came and made me a Binx Balloon for the table! His name is Bruce and he’s available in Orlando, FL and the surrounding areas! Just look at how cute Binx is! I used old books so show him off behind everything else. He also made a Witch broom for my little toddler witch!

My Centerpiece

Now to what every DIY Hocus Pocus Party needs, A BLACK CAULDRON! I found this cute one from Target, It came with this perfect green slime potion punch!

Here is how I made my own DIY Nightmare before Christmas Party. This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

Creating this look was pretty fun and super easy for you to replicate. I first hung a black plastic table cloth up and taped Orange, Yellow, White and Purple Streamers to make the stripes. The perfect Skeleton balloons (Party City) are among other color balloons to tie into the banner. You can find the “This is Halloween” Banner as a Freebie with your Nightmare Before Christmas Alphabet Banner. Don’t forget to add the spooky cobwebs.

Party Table

Nightmare before Christmas is one of my favorite Spooky movies! I have always been a fan of the people eater wreath too, making it a printable was necessary. I used a black and Orange table cloth to ground the table, topped with a sheer dotted fabric and a simple black plastic table cloth. Last minute I decided it needed some cuts along the bottom. A easy change to make with a pair of scissors.

Table Decorations

From left to right, for the cupcake tower I used printable wrapping paper (you can find here) to make a stack of presents. The cupcakes are wrapped just like presents too! Each Cupcake is topped with an adorable Nightmare before Christmas Cupcake Topper.

I found these amazing Nightmare before Christmas gift wrap Printables as free downloads 2 years ago from Smakeupfx !

If you have been following us for a while you’ll know I have a DIY Sally Jars Tutorial. I have used the same jars in my table scape. Each jar is filled with simple Dollar Tree Halloween Flowers. You can find the table Character Cutout Printables in my shop to help decorate your table.

If your a fan of Halloween you already have tombstones in your house. I happened to have these ones and thought they would be perfect for the table. Jack ends up in a graveyard more then once in the movie, making them perfect for the party.

Food

DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party Menu:

1. Zombie Cupcakes (Target) Orange icing and Halloween sprinkles
2. Pumpkin Jack cookies (Target) Guine and I made them ourselves
3. Boogie Candy (Dollar Tree)

I decided to keep this party simple since kids are going to be getting TONS of candy on Halloween.

DIY Favors & Gifts:

Favors:

The perfect favor for an Nightmare Before Christmas party are goodie pumpkins. Let your guests pick some candy and fill up their buckets. I found these cuties at the Dollar Tree. I attached thank you skull tags to each pumpkin to thank my guests for attending.

 Fashion

If your throwing a Nightmare Before Christmas party channel your inner Jack or Sally to add to the fun. Guine dressed up in the latest redesign of Sally and Archi is wearing the new and improved Jack Tee. These are available in Onesie (NB-18 Months) & Toddler Tees (2T-4T)
