It's me, MARIO!!!

I love birthday parties. Everything about them appeals to me! I believe every child should have at least one in their lifetime. Adrian has been a lucky boy,  in that he has had themed parties every year, check out his Avengers party here. Well Gian hadn't had one so we decided to have a Mario-themed party for him (he is obsessed with Super Mario Bros). I desperately needed JC's help here since I have only ever played one game of Mario in my life and had no idea what it entailed. After some "Mario lessons" I was ready to start planning.

Classic Mario Bros Birthday Party


As usual, we DIY'd almost everything. It's a lot to describe so I will just let you see all the work in the pics:


Birthday boy

JC created the cupcake toppers


I made the cake


and these star cookies
the piƱata was created from a cardboard box and filled with LOADS of candy

we rented a bouncehouse and created a scene from the game over the cake table
Yoshi Treat Bags
Pirahna plants in pipes
Princess Peach Castle/Cake-Cupcake Holder
Gian and JC
My favorite pic of that day!
For food, we kept the Italian theme and I made baked ziti and we ordered pizza for the kids. Adrian, Gian, JC and Amberly all wore Mario-themed shirts.

Gian loved his party and still talks about it. That was a tough weekend since Adrian's birthday and Gian's birthday were the same weekend and they each wanted a party. It was a lot of work but I would definitely do it again (and probably will!)

If you have any questions on how to make something from this party, please feel free to email me.
