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)
• Cream Puffs
• Macaroons
• Cheesecake bites
• Bath bomb bar (Not for eating)

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

I am in love with this look! Everything started with a brown plastic table cloth (Party City), added a wood look to make the door effect. Then I taped the door knockers to finish off the effect. The theme of my baby shower was the crystal ball scene, I used various gold tone balloons and paper chandeliers (Dollar Tree, painted white) to create a elegant feel. I found all my pearls and strung them up just like the movie! Michaels had the perfect “Bubbles” (Plastic iridescent ornaments) to tie everything together.

Party Table

My Party table was based on Sarah’s Crystal Ball gown. I cinched the white table cloth in the center and draped the grey table cloth over. (Both from Party City). Adding the gold table runner was a after thought that I though would be just the right touch, and was right. Instead of the empty grey I layered a lace curtain topped with gold vinyl place mats. (Also party city, I couldn’t resist).

Table Decorations

For my party table I wanted sweet treats like a elegant tea party. I created a crystal clear cupcake stand. Awesome DIY project. I used old books as plates to add color to my table and to reference the movie. Don’t eat the peach Sarah!!! I had to include peaches in my party set up and the branches were PERFECT (Michaels). All over the table you’ll find gold statues of each of the main characters. These are giant playing pieces for the Labyrinth game. Super cool find!

Here is how I made my own DIY Gravity Falls Party. This was a surprisingly easy party to set up which is such a nice change of pace. I chose to throw this mock party for Mabel and Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls! It’s their mock 13th Birthday party for the end of Summer! This type of party would be so much for a set of twins!

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

Gravity falls is one of my favorite Cartoons! Just in general. So of course this was the theme to tie up the summer months! In my research for a party I noticed a lot of greens and forest themed Gravity Falls party and not so much Weirdmageton parties! So that was my theme! The main banner is a repurposed book (destroyed in the great merlin puppy days) and a large freehand Bill Cipher drawing! I sketched out the design first and then went in with a extra large sharpie. Then decided to make my very first balloon banner frame from Dollar Tree balloons ($3) total. To make this I went with two normal 25 packs and one 10 count marble pack to create the “bubbles of pure madness”. The finishing touch was my Happy Birthday Gravity Falls Banner (which is available in my shop).

Party Table

Working from the Bottom up my DIY Gravity Falls Party table scape was small but effective and SO EASY! anyone could DIY this is a matter of Minutes. I started with my trusty Space tapestry from my Doctor Who Party and draped it over my small table. Topped the table off with a plastic black table cloth (dollar tree) as my table runner to protect my space cover. The front of the table looked bear so we decorated the front of the table with one of my star cutout banners (wish). Very simple table but it gave the “it came from outer space” theme that I wanted.

Table Decorations

My table decor was simple and fun to make. I had almost everything on hand. From left to right:

I DIYd a centerpiece and used my yellow flowers from my Legend of Zelda party. Yellow for Bill, my Muse! To display my Gravity Falls Cupcakes, my trusty wood circle cupcake display. This display works for so many themes its crazy not to have one on hand if you like throwing parties. I pulled out my bag of moss and pinecones and the left was set. On the right side of the table I unearthed my wooden bows to display a small amount of food (remember this is a mock display). Showcasing my Gravity falls Place cards/ food labels. I printed a Extra large label for my “Mabel Juice” and bought a watermelon just so I could carve it into a Summer-ween Jack-o-melon! This was my favorite part! and it was so easy! I finished off the table with a couple of my Bill Cipher Favor Boxes!

My Centerpiece

Inspired by the Jar of Eyes on Grunkle Stans’ desk in the Mystery Shack, I created my Centerpiece. Since the end of summer is basically halloween I had no trouble finding fake eyeballs at the Dollar Tree. The vase was from publix and the flowers I had on hand. This whole piece cost me $5. It would have been amazing if I had put the money tag on the bottle. But I wanted to leave something for you to do for your party!

Food

DIY Gravity Falls Party Menu:

• Rainbow Cupcakes! I topped mine off with Cream cheese frosting and star sprinkles
• Dipper Smores: its not summer without Smore’s.
• Smile Dip (Fun Dip): here is my custom template to match the theme of the party!
• Bill Chips: Cool Ranch Doritos
• Mabel Juice: Kept mine simple: Pink 7up. To add some fair I added watermelon juice and chucks! Want to make real Mabel Juice? heres how! From FEAST OF FICTION  S5 • E9
• Summer-ween Watermelon: to make this I used a medium size watermelon. Next I drew my intended face with sharpie and then carved a whole in the side. (I chose the side so I could stand the watermelon up and scoop. Then did just that, until most of the watermelon was out. ( Stored all of the pink watermelon in a Pitcher). Once mostly empty I cut out the face. Thats it. Inside I placed a Small Dollar tree candle. Happy Summer-ween everyone!

Here is how I made my own DIY Doctor Who Party. A lot of work went into this DIY Doctor Who Party for all my little Doctor Who fans. This party set up was a future party in the making! Little Eliza just turned one and came to visit us here in Florida! Sadly the party wasn’t ready for her so I made it for her 2nd Birthday! I chose a Galaxy theme for my DIY Doctor Who Party to add a little Whimsy and color to the set up.

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

The Backdrop of my party set up has been the easiest so far! While party supply shopping I found these wonderful Galaxy tapestries on amazon and it was perfect! I was able to attach it to the wall using push pins. I added adorable yellow gold star garland. They were long so I only used two out of the three I purchased. Very Simple! I loved the effect it had with the Tardis cabinet. The most important part of the backdrop was the Printable Banner you can purchase in my online store.

Tablescape

This DIY Doctor Who Party table was also the easiest I have had yet. Simple yet effective. The Table was topped the table with three different table cloths from either Dollar Tree or Target (Party Section) topped with silver star confetti from the Dollar Tree. I used my party dishes and found a very pretty mirror plate to add some gold to the table while thrift shopping the weekend before. While doing some party shopping I found this throwback from when I was young, Gold Small Star Garland. I wrapped the garland around some of the display plates and to the area around the Tardis Cabinet. It was a nice easy way to make your dishes look themed.

To hold the cutlery I used the recycled vegetable cans from my last party because I feel they still fit the theme. If you didn’t already know this about me, I am an UCF Alumni with a bachelors in Fine Art and Animation. So of course I have a Human Skull model on hand. So I threw that on the table to highlight a few episodes of Doctor Who. I used the Navi Lights from the Legend of Zelda set up to wrap around my Tardis with some fabric I had on hand. Just scraps of clear shimmer fabric from when I made Tinkerbell wings for Dapper Day.

Food

I usually only do about 6 different party foods to show off (and fill) the table but for some reason we ended up with 8. I wanted something easy and simple to eat for the main dish. Of course! Pizza. I’m going to make a pizza and decorated it like a Tardis, or a Dalek or something. Yeah right.. Turned around at it was time to set up the party. Frozen Pizza it is I chose a 5 cheese plain pizza and opted to add the pepperiness in a “spacey” pattern. It ended up being a spiral. Oh well.

Next fun thing were the DIY Doctor Who Party Vortex cupcakes. They were originally meant to be beautiful galaxy cupcakes. But for some reason (I totally learned why just this past weekend) my frosting keeps falling flat. So thats why they are now Vortex cupcakes. Still cool with the sprinkles and still tasted really good. I chose Blue velvet cake mix to add a little more space to them. Those were the main events for the party and I’m going to make making a Cooking with Me video on the making of all this party food.

The Drinks on the other hand, worked really well with the display. My Husband collects decanters and I decided to borrow them for the table. They paired so well with the fancy plastic cups from the Dollar Tree.

DIY Favors & Gifts:

DIY Sonic Bubbles

I had a lot of fun with favors to say the least. If you have been to the dollar tree recently (Spring 2018) they have these small bubble vials with little circle stickers on top. I snagged a few of those to make some custom stickers for Favors.  You can also get them from this Amazon link (Bullet Bubble Tube (1.4 x 5.1 x 1 inches) (Orange)I present Sonic Bubbles! this Printable comes with three kinds of sonic screwdriver stickers to apply to your bubble tubes. I originally tried it with my sticker paper but it had a hard time sticking once the bubbles started to get used so I coated the whole sticker in clear packing tape and it worked! so cute! I love them!

DIY Toy Blocks

For this party I decided to make a little DIY gift Idea using this DIY Toy Blocks Printable. You just need 8, 2 inch wooden Blocks (I found mine at Michaels) and some Modge Podge. The printable has a tiny bit of wiggle room to make them line up. The Blocks turned out so cute! Im going to be making a little tutorial for everyone so don’t you worry! This was a easy and adorable little gift idea for the new Timelord in your life. Here is a Amazon link for 16 blocks! enough to make two set! (WOOD BLOCKS (16PCS. WITH FREE COLORED MARKERS), 2″ WOODEN CRAFT BLOCKS, HARDWOODS, MADE IN USA, BY CROSSROAD SALES)

Fashion

DIY Doctor Who Party fashion is so much fun to play with. My fashion was a little casual for this party. I wore my new favorite “The Stars, cant do it, not today” tee from Nerd Under the Stairs. Paired with a mid length yellow pleated skirt, WITH POCKETS!.

Over that for my cooking and most of my set up I got to wear the beautiful Tardis Apron from Made from Oz on Etsy! Both of these shops are so amazing and I feel you should totally go check them out!

My Guinevere had an equally casual outfit for the DIY Doctor Who Party. I found these adorable puffy Royal Blue top with Gold spots at my Local Once upon a child. The yellow shorts were also found during that shopping trip too. So many fun possibilities for a little Timebaby. I topped off the whole outfit with a hat of my very own. It’s a little Tardis top hat that Bought maybe… 5 years ago. The light still worked and everything! I attached it to a elastic and placed it on her head. With some back and forth I finally achieved some photos. She’s starting to get into that always moving no matter what phase. Does anyone know how long that lasts or how to pause it for a second to take a photo? let me know!

Thank you so much for joining me on my little Wibbley Wobbley Timey Whimy DIY Doctor Who Party.
