![]() It really was such a fun party! Even the parents enjoyed it! Maybe that was because of the delish adults-only drinks I served on the deck… but still! the things we do for love…įor our carnival foods we had cotton candy, snow cones (I got a snow cone machine online for super cheap), popcorn, nachos and cheese (Tami let us use her cheese machine), hot dogs, and many more treats!Īnd of course, the mini petting zoo and pony rides were a huge hit again! I’m not going to lie and say he highly enjoyed his “job”… ahhhh…. My now husband practiced some animals ahead of time. This time instead of a Magic Show, we made it a Balloon Magic Show. It had been calling for rain, but we actually ended up with so much sun the cover was good. They all had a blast with the body bopper suits.Įnough family members and friends had tents we could use, which was quite convenient. ![]() The prize buckets were decorated with handmade labels. The games were fun for all ages! (I apologize that I didn’t get very good photos. ![]() I had recruited friends and some high school students from the neighborhood to be my carnies for the afternoon. This assured that there would be enough prizes and/or treats for each child at each stop. They could play the games as many times as they wanted, but needed to use their pass in order to play for a prize. The packets included one pass for each game and treat. ![]() (that’s why the admission tickets above specify if they were to receive a baby admission, kid, or adult.) She would take the tickets they brought, and then give them wristbands and packets of passes for each game/stand. This got a lot of the kids excited for party, as everyone likes to have tickets to something!Īt the event, we had a ticket booth right in the front. Once I received the registration form, I then sent out the tickets to the family for them to bring with to “get in the door”. Some more cute homemade invites! Each family was sent an invitation that had an RSVP postcard inside (registration form). We Also reused her services for Story’s 5th birthday party. The games were fun! We also had a mini petting zoo and pony rides! I found someone in the area that does traveling petting zoos and ponies for parties. Story’s dad made all sorts of carnival food: corn dogs, cheesecurds, and other fried goodness! We had a face painting table, and a magic show prepared, as well as a sand art table! We recruited friends and family to help in each area. Everyone highly enjoyed the theme and all of the fun it brought with it!Ī cute, but simple invite I made using Stampin’ Up! supplies. That being said… we were hearing about it from everyone for quite some time after that. I’ll share those details first, but then I’ll show you the larger, more exciting, 5th Birthday Party! For that she had invited so many friends (and their families) from school, we actually ended up with about 75 guests coming through. We mainly just had family and extremely close friends join us. □ For Story’s second birthday, it was a little bit smaller of a guest list, and I did a lot less for the decor and so forth. I am much more proud of her 5th birthday party, so I almost want to tell you to scroll ahead… but maybe that’s in bad form. In a way this saddens me, because this was by far my favorite theme we’ve had for my girl’s Birthday parties….so much so that I did it all over again 3 years later!! But, since I already did it twice, I suppose it’s time for me to pass it all on to another family. My motivation for today’s blog post comes from the fact that I am currently listing all of these fun party supplies for sale.
