A lot of work went into this DIY Sailor Moon Party for all my little Moonies. This party set up was a Little something special for one of my best friends!

My favorite scenes were always the magical girl transformations! 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 Sailor Moon Party. I draped (Dollar Tree) Light Pink Streamers on the sides to represent the Sailor Moons ribbons and Layered on my gold Star Banner, also from my Doctor Who Party (Wish). I finished off everything with a sweet little Sailor Moon Happy Birthday Banner.  It was simple but effective in giving off the overall ascetic I was looking for. Party Table Working from the Bottom up my DIY Sailor Moon Party table scape was small but effective and SO EASY! anyone could DIY this is a matter of Minutes. I started with a round white tablecloth (Dollar Tree). Using a rectangle royal blue table-cloth (dollar tree) I cut it in half (Hamburger style), then draped each side on either side of the table. Once they were equal on both sides I brought them together and lightly tied them. I made a simple bow out of red wrapping paper (Dollar Tree) and taped the bow to the knot. If you would like a tutorial on the wrapping paper bow, please to not hesitate to message me :). Under the white table-cloth I added royal blue tulle to make a skirt. I’m not sure how it looks to be honest, but if you had more tulle and made a more volumes on tulle I imagine it would look pretty awesome. 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 Sailor Moon items that I either got for my daughter or had on hand. Everything was printable or had a purpose. From the right, lets start with my Luna P Piñata. This piñata is a DIY project that will hopefully be added to this blog very soon (link here), it was very easy and cost-effective, considering it only cost me $1 in extra supplies. Sitting nicely in front of Luna P are my homemade Macarons <3 these are my pride and joy! Thank you Todd for helping me make them. To the left are my matching Luna & Artemis stuffed cat toys (Wish) I got them for Guine so she can be a huge nerd just like me. Moving on to the show stopper. The confetti pink cupcakes (Publix). The cupcakes turned out so bright and colorful that they brought the set up together! I must say that they really made my Sailor Moon Cupcake liners and Cupcake topper really stand out and steal the show. Sitting high above the rest of the Sailor scouts are my Tuxedo Mask Strawberry Roses (super easy party dish, heathy too). The intended main event of my Sailor Moon Party are the Sailor Moon Ice Cream cones. These printable Cone Liners turned out so cute and perfect! The cones I bought at the store were too small for the liners, but it worked out that the liners made the cones look bigger. Everything works out in the end. Each Ice cream liner and Cupcake liner comes with optional Sailor Scout bow stickers. I added mine and it just pushed them over the top in cuteness.

My Centerpiece   Inspired by a DIY Sailor Moon Party baby shower featured on my Instagram, I decided to mimic one of their gorgeous simple centerpieces.
