StAr WaRs BiRtHdAy & CaKe

This year, my son decided he wanted a Star Wars themed birthday. I had a really hard time finding decorations for this theme. The nearest party city is too far away. So I made my own. We decorated in black and blue colors and made my own birthday day sign.               

 These are just normal cupcakes with little star wars stickers on some blue and black cardstock.

I also get lime sherbet and sprite and made a punch that we called "Yoda Soda".

Bakugan Birthday

My son turned 9 this year and wanted a Bakugan birthday party, so I just HAD to ablige! I didn't really like the decorations I saw at the store. Plus, chilling memories of last years party decorations for his "army" party came back to haunt me as I thought of how much this was gonna cost. So I decided I would 'make my own'! It was a little time consuming, but really not too bad at all! And the best part-I was able to use things I already had at home, besides a few sheets of blue, black, red, and yellow paper to cut the decorations from. So, total cost-about 3-5 bucks!
The invitaions are cut with the expression and I used Wild Card for the card, envelope, and words. (this is what took the longest) "Happy Birthday Braydon is from All Mixed Up. I just strung yarn through the holes on the tags and the letters hung from the yarn.

The gift bags are from Plantin Schoolbook. And I bought some Bakugan stickers. I think those only cost about 2-3 dollars.
Braydon loved his party and was so excited about it, and I felt good because I made it all and the grand total for his birthday (including the Bakugan cake supplies) was about $30. I would definitly do this again!
