Here is how I made my own DIY Neverland Peter Pan Party. A lot of work went into this DIY Neverland Party for all my little Tinkerbell. My sweet baby Guine is turning two! I cant believe it! I chose an Fairy Neverland DIY Peter Pan Party to match the popular saying Never Grow 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

Peter Pan was one of my favorite Movies from when I was a little girl. I really wanted to share it with my baby girl. I decided to make a transitional party, where each room is a different scene. My Dining room theme was the Nursery. I bought Pink and Raspberry balloons, Along with matching streamers! It worked out so cute! I wish I had time to make a peter pan shadow. If you throw a similar party please add this extra touch! I found an adorable pink number 2 balloon on wish. ( Make sure if you order from wish, you order with a lot of time to wait for delivery)

My Living room was possibly the easiest to decorate. We are in the process of decorating a big girl room for Guine and she needed curtains. I found adorable pink ruffle ones at Target and hung them up in front of my galaxy tapestry. Taped up some white construction paper as a window frame and whala! The perfect window to jump right into Neverland! Over my couches and bookcases I placed star banners and two balloons. Second star to the right of course!

Through my French doors ( I placed iridescent streamers on the doors) You wanted into Neverland. My Neverland Backdrop was very similar to my Alice in Onederland theme. Three Dollar tree table clothes, braided and topped with pom-pom flowers. I even added some of the left over iridescent streamers from the French doors. It looked beautiful!

I decided to expand my party to out front my home to invite all my guests inside. I have added Neverland Directional Signs to my shop! I think this would be the cutest addtition to any Neverland Party or Nursery.

Table Decorations

It was so much fun to spread my party out to so many different areas of the house. My Nursery table was simple and sweet. Only flowers and display trays were placed there to accommodate all the food for the party.

My Neverland table was more elaborate, I DIY some terrariums for the Pixie Hollow Table, and added an extra Lost boys table to the outside to hold my favors and Crafts. I used props from around my home and special additions bought from stores to make my table a little more Neverland Themed.

For my guest book I decided to pick a non-Disney Peter Pan book. Flying to Neverland with Peter Pan by Betty Comden, Adolph Green & Carolyn Leigh. I had my guests sign the front and back pages of the book. This makes such a fun keepsake for any child.

My Centerpiece

Inspired by a DIY Project from Instagram, I found a easy way to make some DIY Terrariums for my Pixie Hollow Table. I used some gold straws from Target and glue to create a open style terrarium. I bought the flowers from Dollar tree and arranged them myself. I had enough supplies to make a total of three and I think they turned out amazing! SO EASY. Under the Display I placed my wood cuttings and palm leaves. It seemed to all work so well together.

DIY Favors & Gifts:

Favors:

I went a little crazy with my favors and had fun doing it! My favors included Fairy wings and handmade fairy wands. I also wanted to do a Neverland craft which every child got to bring home.

My handmade fairy wands were crafted by me. I took chopsticks and separated them. I then glued bells to the tops of each chopstick along with flowers and ribbons. Guine loved them, and so did everyone else! They matched perfectly with the fairy wings I found at the Dollar Tree.

My favorite part of the party with the interactive Neverland Craft! I found sensory bottles and the Dollar Tree and corks that fit perfectly. I spent a while collecting little “lost things” to put inside. I was able to find Fairy Confetti, Alligator erasers and other Neverland themed items. This is such a fun idea for a young/ Toddler party! This project was such a crowd pleaser. Totally recommend!

For Neverland Baby Showers I recommend my Neverland Milestone Stickers to be the perfect gift that keeps on giving. If your planning on taking monthly photos of your Lost boy or girl I recommend these Fandom Stickers to help you show the progress your lost child is making. <3

 Fashion

Fashion is always my favorite Subject. Nerd fandoms make it so much fun to dress up. What makes it better is when there is a Fandom event where you can go to show off your Nerd Fashion. If your not already following us on Instagram and Facebook you know that were expecting a little boy in June! We are over the moon excited! I made it my goal to find the perfect Wendy dress for the party. It was harder then I thought. But I found the perfect maternity dress from H&M. I didn’t even know they had a maternity line. Its safe to say I was pleasantly surprised.

Guinevere looked adorable in her Tinkerbelle inspired dress. I found the perfect dress on Amazon. I paired it with little green wings and a green handmade wand. Just Precious!

The post How to plan your own DIY Neverland Party appeared first on My Nerd Nursery.

Here is how I made my own DIY Harry Potter Party. A lot of work went into this DIY Harry Potter Party for all my little wizard in training. This party set up was a future Baby Shower in the making! My Friend since Disney is having a Baby! I have the honor of decorating for her Harry Potter theme Baby shower.  I chose a Hogwarts theme for my DIY Harry Potter Party to play of the idea of the primary colors and the Kiddy Crests.

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

For this party set up I decided to go with color blocks of Blue, Yellow, Green and Red, to represent the Hogwarts houses. I bought (Dollar Tree) table clothes in the correct colors and cut them to size. I hung them from my usual curtain rod. The Harry Potter Banner is available in my shop. The Kiddy Crests are available in my shop at well. I happened to have extra large construction paper, which i cut to make the banners. I glued the crests to the Banners. Worked and looked great!

Tablescape

This DIY Harry Potter Hogwarts Party table was also the easiest I have had yet. Simple yet effective. The Table was topped with (in this order) a cheap yellow table cloth, Harry Potter Banners from Target, and Ripped pages of a old destroyed book. I used a small desk to display everything on, and I liked this for a small amount of food I had to display.

For the main decor I borrowed some Harry Potter theme items to really pump up the nerdiness of the display. From Bottom to top: The Mirror is borrowed from a friend of mine and the Books we had on hand of course! The Nursery frames of the Houses are from my shop (Link) and the treasure chest (wizard Chest) is from a previous party. I filled the Chest with wands and a giant snitch fold out (Borrowed from a friend). The Chest Also held my custom made Invitations. Moving up the Dougie Banner is from the Ravenclaw Banner set, which matches the top banner. To display the food I used wood cut pieces (which i DIY into a cupcake stand from my Where the Wild things are Baby Shower) and several glass display wear I have on hand. Behind the Sorting hat cupcakes I put Potion Bottles ( You can download the potion labels here) in different colors to make them pop.

My Centerpiece

My main Center Piece is the Hogwarts house cups. Each tall hurricane vase is filled to various hights to show which house is winning. In this set up its a tie between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. I filled the vases with un-popped popcorn cernals (that I had dyed with food coloring) and found the perfect ribbon at the Dollar Tree. Carefully I tied a cute little bow around each one and topped them with the small version of my Hogwarts Crest (which can be found here in my shop). The Dollar tree has a large assortment of different flowers so I was able to find different color flowers, I think each one describes a different part of the Hogwarts house its representing.

To the far right are some other perfect props I borrowed including a small stuffed owl, a crystal Ball (That Lights up) and a Ravenclaw Tiara. I also included a dragon egg?, Mostly because I really liked it and I feel it really balanced the Wizard chest on the floor.

Food

DIY Harry Potter Party Menu:

• Sorting hat Cupcakes- Jumbo Chocolate Cupcakes with M&Ms in the center, Topped with Fudge Frosting.
• Honey dukes Candy- Chocolate Frogs, and Every Flavor Jelly Beans.
• Butter Beer pudding- Butterscotch pudding, with caramel sauce and Whipped cream
• Lily’s Lemon Bars- Delicious Lemon Bars topped with Powdered sugar.

DIY Favors & Gifts:

For Favors I decided on Potions. I found these adorable colored Hand Sanitizer bottles. 1$ for a pack of three. I created custom potion labels (which you can download here). Perfect for a baby shower. Another possible favor would be the Honeydukes candy. Either a Chocolate Frog or the Every flavor jelly beans would be so much fun to get. I found my free, so I’ll give mine for free. You can download the Jellybean box Here and the chocolate frog box Here. I hope you enjoy!

For Gifts I wanted to share my Nursery prints with the new mommy. They make the perfect gift for a new baby wall. I am also planning on giving my new wizard mom a set of Harry potter milestone stickers. So she can celebrate Harry Potter every month with her new baby.

Fashion

This baby Shower is going to be so much fun for us fashion wise. I have a brand new shirt from Nerd Under the stairs! It says Swish and Flick on it with a feather! How cute is that! I’m pairing it with my black gold dust skirt and some simple black flats. I really wanted the shirt to pop.

Guine is wearing a dress inspired by Hermione Grangers winter dance dress. I found it at my local Once upon a Child. She looks so cute!
