Ok; I am finally trying to get caught up the on girls’ past birthday posts! Today’s post is all the details around the twins’ 4th birthday party, and they were VERY clear they wanted a Bluey theme. I rented out a local play space and tried to add my own flare with decorations, but the party/food space was fairly small. Here’s what I came up with:

Venue: The playLOT in Biddeford, ME

+ PRO PARTY HACK: Instead of spending $$$ on cardboard cutouts, see if you can find the same character as a wall decal. That’s what I did with this Bluey — The decal cost me $15, and since it was already sticky on the back, I just stuck it to foam board & cut it out with a utility knife. SO much cheaper! And after, I reused the decal by sticking it on Edy’s wall!

Invites

These invites were a downloadable digital file from Etsy. (The pink is no longer available, but I did find the same invite in blue here.) I simply download the file, save to my computer, and then I like to print at Staples. I have found they are the best quality, at least around me. I also like to make the envelopes fun, so I bought a paw print stamp to make them trail across the front and back of the envelope and I sealed the invites with Bluey stickers. (I also used these in the party favors.)

Kid’s Tablescape

This particular venue had a bunch of little picnic tables versus long tables, so I just set up little place settings at each. I placed plates, napkins, wooden utensils, and bought actual plastic dog bowls for the kids to eat homemade puppy chow out of. Everyone got quite a kick out of this! Afterwards, I donated the bowls to our local animal shelter. For cups, I slaved at my Silhouette machine (worth it) to make little custom logos on each one using a Bluey-esque type font I downloaded online.

There was one long table for the parents I added some balloons & decorations above along with a runner for the tabletop. These runners are so great! — I’ve used them for multiple parties. Not only are they disposable, so you can just toss them after; but they are also perforated (kind of like paper towels), so you can make them any length you want! Definitely an easy hack for table decorating. They happened to be the exact width of the tables, so I also used them as legit tablecloths.

Food

As luck would have it, there’s a pizza place in the same building that delivers. That made lunch easy (except for them dropping the pizzas the first go-around and needing to make more, lol). Along with the pizza we had homemade puppy chow, white chocolate daisy lollipops, Bluey branded yogurt cups, Bluey branded snack packs with cheese pretzels and fruit, Bluey branded fruit snacks, chips, juice boxes/water, and of course cake. My mom makes all the girls’ birthday cakes from scratch every year based on what they want. I love this sweet, special tradition. This particular year the twins wanted vanilla on vanilla, so that’s what they got! And my mom added flower frosting daisies to keep with the theme. I also added some Bluey and Bingo figurines. (I wish I got a better photo of the cake!)

Favors

These favors were so easy, and the kids loved them! (I actually made a reel of these if you want to check it out here.)

Believe it or not, I found these water bottles at Dollar Tree! I stocked up and filled them with Bluey chapsticks, stickers, little paw print bubble wands, Bluey fruit snacks, and customized each one with a little handmade tag like you’d see on a dog collar. I purchased these acrylic bone tags (I have bought from this shop MULTIPLE times — she has every acrylic shape you can think of with or without holes). Then I used that same font I downloaded for the envelopes & cups, and cut out the kids’ names in vinyl in two colors so I could overlap the colors. I attached them to the handles of the water bottles using little ball chain keychain connectors, and voila! A reusable party favor with surprises inside.

& that’s a wrap! Another successful b-day in the books!

Everyone had such a great time, and I am almost positive everyone went home with tuckered out kids. 🙂
