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.

DIY Cardcaptor Sakura Party

Rebecca — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 06:00:00 +0000

How to Plan your own DIY Cardcaptor Sakura Party

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!

Animal Crossing Party on a Budget

Rebecca — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 10:00:00 +0000

How to Plan your own DIY Animal Crossing Party on a Budget

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.

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.

Favors:

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.

How to DIY your Jurassic Park Party

How to Plan your own DIY Jurassic Park Party

Here is how I made my own DIY Jurassic Park Party. I will go over everything from top to bottom so you can throw one like mine or BETTER!!

Decorations

Backdrop

For my backdrop I wanted to channel the jungle of Jurassic Park. I used my textured green throw blanket as the topper, and draped it to the sides. I created a Jurassic Park Logo custom name sign to display on top. Then, Behind everything I hung a green (Dollar Store) table cloth with light green streamers to make stripes. I was pretty pleased with how everything turned out. My daughter found these fake flowers when we were out shopping and brought them home, I decided to add them to the backdrop to add to the baby shower look. I finished everything off with my new “Life finds a way” banner.

Party Table

My party table was the jeep from Jurassic Park! I was inspired by Pinterest and wanted to pull it off so you could too! I started with a black (Dollar tree) Table cloth over the whole table. I then draped a gold (Dollar Tree) table cloth over the middle, Just enough for the Jeep print out. I free-handed JP09 on the “hood” of the Jeep. To complete the look I tried to create the windows of the jeep but they turned out too tall. (LOL) Maybe you’ll have better luck.

DIY Indiana Jones Party

Rebecca — Tue, 01 Sep 2020 00:16:10 +0000

How to Plan your own DIY Indiana Jones Party

Here is how I made my own DIY Indiana Jones Party. I would like to tell you about my Guest Artist Jesse Bechtold. He’s a Disney Sketch Artist who is working on his very own comic! It drops September 1st on Webcomic! Show him some support if you like strong female leads.

Decorations

Backdrop

Indiana Jones is Jesses long time favorite movie. His favorite scene is Indiana Jones and the snakes, So I channeled that scene in my set up. To start I used a textures green throw blanket and a rust colored curtain to make a jungle adventurer vibe. I topped this simple backdrop with my Indiana Jones Alphabet Banner.

Party Table

Working from the Bottom up my DIY Indiana Jones Party table scape was small but effective and SO EASY! anyone could DIY this is a matter of Minutes. I started with a plastic black table cloth (Dollar Tree), a gold Plastic table cloth (Dollar Tree), My favorite leaf runner (Michaels) ,and a green fish net (Wish). To create the look of elevation I used a stepstool under the table clothes.

Table Decorations

My table décor is a fun collection of Indiana Jones inspired things that I had on hand. Everything was printable or had a purpose. From the right, I used my treasure chest to house my cupcake tower which I think worked out so well! My Indiana Jones cupcake Liners are either a treasure Map or a Snake bottom. I am particularly proud of putting snakes on the bottom of the tiers cupcake stand. “Snakes, why’d it have to be snakes.”

The monkey (Puppet) is a childhood toy of my husbands and felt right at home in this set up. Speaking of living for this Party set up was my “Art School” skull. I filled his eye with ruby gems and a snake (Dollar Tree). Up the ridge I displayed some old books to add some color and Jesse had a Indiana Jones HAT! of course we needed that. My finishing touch was a few candles to set the mood.

My Centerpiece

Here is how I made my own DIY AVATAR the Last Airbender Party. If you are a AVATAR the Last Airbender fan this is the party for you! It was super easy and inexpensive to achieve this look. Read on to do it yourself.

Decorations

Backdrop

This was such a fun and easy party to set up. I think anyone could do it! It was super inexpensive to achieve too. I started with four plastic table cloths from the Dollar Tree and hung them like banners. I made the tassels from Dollar tree tissue paper, because I couldn’t find the colors I needed. I topped off the banners with “clouds” aka 8 large white tissue paper pom-poms and 1 string of mini pom-poms. I also threw in a few balloons to make it look poofy. You can get the Appa Printable here for Free!

I topped everything off with my Printable Alphabet Banner. I think it turned out so perfect!

Party Table

My table has been the easiest table to far! The Dollar tree table cloths were so long I literally just draped them over the table. EASY! For display I used wood slices, my metal tiered stand and my pitcher. I love to bring florals or nature into my tables, so I added moss, rocks and a few flowers. You can find my Aang Printable here for Free

DIY Firefly Party

Rebecca — Tue, 30 Apr 2019 17:52:19 +0000

How to Plan your own DIY Firefly Party

Here is how I made my own DIY Firefly Party. A lot of work went into this DIY Firefly Party for all my Firefly fans (Big and small). 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

Firefly is one of the most fun themes I have gotten to do! I had the pleasure of re-watching all 14 of the Firefly episodes to help me channel my inner Serenity. So I channeled those scenes in my background set up. To start I used the space tapestry from my doctor who party to set the scene for my DIY Firefly Party. I draped a copper curtain over half the space background to give the look of steampunk space. Then layered on my gold Star Banners, also from my Doctor Who Party (Wish) to bring in more space and whimsy. I finished off everything with a shiny Firefly Baby Shower Banner and large Serenity Cutout (Available upon request). It was simple but effective in giving off the overall ascetic I was looking for.

Party Table

Working from the Bottom up my DIY Firefly Party table scape was small but effective and SO EASY! anyone could DIY this is a matter of Minutes. I used a copper window curtain to make a table cloth. In front of my display I placed my Chinese parasol to add a bit more whimsy. I topped the table off with a sequins gold table runner that I borrowed from my Doctor Who Party.

Table Decorations

My table decor is a fun collection of Firefly items that I either borrowed or had on hand. Everything was printable or had a purpose. From the right, lets start with my Serenity Cut out. I made it as large as I could by printing from a office supply store on 11 x 17 cardstock. Serenity cut out was very easy and cost-effective, considering it only cost me around $1 in extra supplies. From Left to right, I placed red flowers that I had on hand next to my metal food tray, containing strawberries and chicken eggrolls. YUM! Next I placed my DIY Jayne printable yarn party hats and printable foodstuffs bar.

Moving on to the show stoppers. The Firefly cupcakes (Publix). The cupcakes turned out so fun and they brought the set up together! I must say that they really made my firefly Cupcake Liners and Cupcake topper really stand out.

My Centerpiece; THE CAKE!

The cake from Love Lorena Designs, is a masterpiece! The adorable outfit design of Malcom Reynolds burgundy and browncoat costume really tied the table together.

Food

Chocolate with gold Confetti Cupcakes (Publix Supermarket)

Firefly 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.

DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party

Rebecca — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 16:57:08 +0000

How to Plan your own DIY

Nightmare Before Christmas Party

Here is how I made my own DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party. A lot of work went into this DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party for all my little Nightmares. I settled my party right around Halloween, The perfect time to have a DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party!

Decorations

Backdrop

my party backdrop was inspired from a post I found on Instagram! they had the most amazing black and white stripes for their party. I wanted to imitate that look for my event too! So to make the look I used black and white streamers from the Dollar Tree. The Banner is from my shop! you can purchase it here! The banner says “This is\n Halloween”. I picked up some floating ghosts from the dollar tree too. Nice and simple for such a great impact.

Party Table

My main party table was so much fun to put together. I found the orange and black stripe table cloth from the dollar section of target. The super cute pumpkin table runner is from party city. I pushed the table all the way up to the backdrop to keep the stripes going. I had a prize table too! this one I decorated with a basic black rectangle table cloth and a round white table cloth from the dollar tree. Right before the party I cut up the round white one to look like a spider web. I love the effect and how it turned out!

Table Decorations

Since my party was a real party this time I kept the table mostly empty to accommodate my guest dishes. My main centerpiece was my Sally Jar luminaries, which I turned into flower vases for the party. You can make your own using this tutorial. Most of my other decorations came from the Dollar Tree. Super simple and on budget. My favorite thing to purchase right now are things that work for multiple holidays. Like my Pumpkin Centerpiece is going to make a splash at my Thanksgiving this year! Since my theme was Nightmare before Christmas I used my printable Christmas gift cupcake liners, which in my opinion turned out amazing! I love how they looked with the bright Halloween frosting. My plates are from Party City’s 25th Nightmare before Christmas party line!

Food

DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Party Menu:

Halloween Cupcakes! (Publix)
Caramel Corn (fresh from the farmers market)
Chips
Kids Chicken

I wanted to keep this party nice and simple and let my guests get creative with their food. Something fun to plan for your own party is a potluck party with a spooky food prize.

This party fashion was so much fun to plan! To match our Nightmare before Christmas theme my husband and I dressed up as Jack and Sally. For Guine’s second Halloween she is dressing up as what we thing Jack and Sally’s baby would look like!

I found this amazing outfit on wish and customizing it to exactly what I was looking for using a sharpie. The best part of the evening was when Guine first saw Aaron she was like… NO! and she wouldn’t even look at him. Of course he had a bald cap and full make up on. I got all the cuddles. Did you dress your baby up from Nightmare before Christmas? Share your photos with my on Facebook and Instagram! I would love to see and share!
