It’s officially fall, which means the green leaves are quickly changing to orange, red, brown, and yellow; but it’s still a great time to plan a party with GREEN as the focal color! We’ve gathered some fun green party ideas and inspiration for you!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fans will love to party by serving up their favorite pizza to their guests after jumping in our licensed moonwalk!

May as well have a cake and cookies to match the meal, right? Look at these adorable cookies for inspiration and check out that AMAZING pizza cake!!

Let all the TMNT fans know where to celebrate with one or two of our Green Dori Flags!

College football is in full swing, so if you’re planning a fun backyard tailgate while the weather is nice, we have some fun activities for you and your guests to enjoy while you wait for the grill to fire up! Start a bungee run competition on our football field designed One-on-One Bungee Run! Winner gets the first slice of football field cake!

During halftime, break out a game of Cornhole or the Football Toss Game. If you’re looking for a few delicious dip recipes for pre-game appetizers, check out a few of these that look mouth-watering! For even more fun football party ideas, head over to our Touchdown blog post from a few years ago.

A rainforest themed birthday, incorporating snacks and decorations featuring several beautiful rainforest animals, wouldn’t be complete without our Rainforest Combo! There are so many beautiful cookies and decorations to match!

You don’t have to have 18 holes set up in your backyard to have the perfect Putt-Putt or Golf celebration! Our inflatable Chip Shot will provide hours of entertainment for putters of all ages1 we provide clubs and ball so you can have a fun competition, no golf cart required! For smaller spaces, check our our Golf Challenge. These Club Sandwiches would be the perfect snack at a par-tee on the “green.”

There are SO many fun green themes, we know we missed some! Keep an eye on our blog for more fun party ideas soon! In the meantime, head over to our Pinterest Board for more GREEN Party Ideas and Inspiration!

What’s one thing that you see at almost any birthday party? Topped in Buttercream, Royal Icing, Glaze, Cream Cheese Icing, or some other sweet delicacy…cupcakes make a delicious addition to a birthday. We’ve even seen parties where cupcakes are the entire theme of the party!

Cupcake Wishes & Birthday Dreams


This tent with a ceiling liner would be the icing on the (cup)cake at any birthday party!

We love this 50th Anniversary Cake with tiers of cupcakes!


Cake in a Cup NY
Can you believe that this bouquet of flowers is actually a collection of cupcakes?
Almost too pretty to eat!

Some parties even have their own Cupcake Decorating Station, so the guests can show off their own creativity.

This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Deborah’s Party Rentals, so why not celebrate by dreaming of cupcakes? Here are some flavors we’d love to try at any birthday party, corporate gathering, or wedding!






>>POW!<<      >>BAM!<<      >>ZAP!<<


For the third party in our series of Kids’ Birthdays, we bring you some SUPER ideas for a fun celebration! (We’ve also shared ideas for a Backyard Camping Party and for an Art Party).
When your heroes arrive to the scene, what better way to get the party started than to have a photo booth at the door? We love the idea of a city scene for the backdrop. Add an assortment of capes, masks, and speech bubbles based on your child’s favorite hero for props.

This backdrop at Tips from a Typical Mom Blog was made with a black plastic table cloth, some paper clouds and stars, and various boxes wrapped in black paper.  They added some rectangles cut from yellow paper for windows. A dark blue table cloth for an evening sky would look great too.
So simple and SUPER at the same time!

These assorted masks available on Etsy would be cute in pictures!
(Store them with the kids’ dress-ups clothes to use for getting into character on non-party days.
LetsGetDecorative on Etsy
If your guests are old enough for a craft, you could provide felt or craft foam and string or elastic for them to make their own masks using one of the patterns at First Palette or JustBunch. Everyone could then model them in front of the city scene for a fun keepsake. (speaking of the mask and the photo! Wouldn’t a picture of the guest and birthday boy or girl be a sweet addition to a thank you note?)

JustBunch
This cape was made from a t-shirt and requires NO sewing…just a pair of scissors.  They even give instructions for how to create an iron on using your favorite hero’s logo.
Tutus & Tea Parties

There are some really creative ways to display the food for a SUPER party at Less Than Perfect Life of Bliss. We love how these drinks are stored in a bucket with a comic book style “POP” across the front. (They even decorated the ketchup and mustard bottles!)

Less Than Perfect Life of Bliss
Although these lollipops were designed as Valentines, they would be SUPER as a favor.
Little Bit Funky

We love love love this colorful Justice League moonwalk, perfect for every hero celebration.

We also came across some FREE printables that would make your party >>POP!<<
Pure Costumes
Use these colorful printouts to decorate your food table, goody bags, or the photo booth area.  Tape some clear string or fishing wire to the back of them and hang them from the ceiling. Print onto iron on paper to use to make a custom birthday shirt for the birthday boy or girl!

Photokapi


These would also be great on a T-Shirt (Mom, Dad, and Kid are included!) or print several of each letter for guests to color the letters of their name. Then they would be able to take their own SUPER name banner home after the party to hang in their room.

Hope we sparked some SUPER ideas to help you start planning your little Hero’s next birthday. Give us a call if you need to rent some tables, chairs, tents, concessions, or inflatables and we’ll help make sure it’s a memorable day for everyone!
Classic characters or latest new character on TV?
Underwater, or on land…or sky…or rail?
Pizza or hot dogs?
Ice Cream or Cake?
(Or both!)

So many questions to think about when you’re helping your children plan their favorite event of the year: THEIR BIRTHDAY! We don’t know if your guests are going to prefer pepperoni or cheese pizza, but we can help you choose a fun theme for the party!


In addition to all the characters you’d expect to be popular party themes like Mickey and Nemo (we have those inflatables!), we’ve also noticed a few other themes as being popular this year, and we’re going to take a look at a few over the next few weeks on the blog!


First up…



With the weather transitioning from summer to fall, a camping party set up outdoors couldn’t be planned at a better time. Obviously, S’mores would make the perfect snack for a campout, but being a birthday party, a cake is needed as well! Check out the TWO camping birthday cakes made for a double birthday party over at 3 Little Greenwoods:

 


The TomKat Studio showcased a really well-planned camping party with lots of delicious (and appropriately named) snacks…

Bean Talk has more delicious snacks to share (and free printable labels for you party!)
Bean Talk Free Camping Snack Printable

After your nature walk, the guests will want to see how high they can jump in a woodsy moonwalk…so check out our Camouflage Moonwalk to set up for the weekend!



Of course, you’ll need invitations so everyone will know where to set up their tents for the night.
MomDot has a free one you can download and print at home!

Speaking of tents, we love this idea to help keep sleeping quarters cool in the afternoon and to block the morning sun before the campers start to wake up.
Tent under a tent!
We have the perfect tents that you could use as a shelter for your campers’ sleeping tents.

Next in our series of Kids’ Birthdays…. Art Party!
Keep an eye out for our ideas on how to plan a colorful party. 😀



Aren’t there so many wonderful things that show up around the same time that the leaves begin to fall? Everyone around town starts to sport their favorite team colors on a sweater while stomping through leaves to their favorite coffee shop to savor a hot latte topped with cinnamon (iced coffees are great, but we’ve been enjoying those all summer).

We love every one of these little signs of fall, our favorite part about the changing season… is the upcoming Fall Festivals!


We’re well known for having an exciting assortment of moonwalks for kids of all ages – from toddlers to “kids at heart” – but did you know that we also have concessions rentals so that you can have delicious snacks at your trunk or treat? Our popcorn machine or our cotton candy machine would make the perfect sweet or salty treats at any cool weather event! We even provide the supplies you’ll need to serve them (one less thing to remember at the store, right? Besides, you’ll need the extra room in the shopping cart for candy corn…)



If you’re planning to have a carnival style Fall Festival, check out the fun Carnival games we have for rent including Skeeball, High Striker, or our Inflatable 3 in 1 Carnival Game.


 If you need prizes to give away to game winners, let us know and we can help you get those at a great deal as well.

October is a busy month (everyone must love fall festivals as much as we do!), and a lot of these fun attractions are rented quickly….so give us a call today so we can help you plan the PERFECT family event for your church, school, or work group while Fall is fresh on your mind.

Happy First Day of Fall!
 If you follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, or Pinterest you’ve seen some of our #transformationthursday posts showing how our rentals have turned the simplest space into something truly spectacular!
This week, check out the transformation made to this backyard for a three year old’s PJ Masks Birthday Party! 

Before….Fun Space to run and Play! (But where to sit?)
…besides, this needs to be a PJ Masks Headquarters for the Party!
This space on any other day is perfect for running and playing, but when it came time to party, there wasn’t much sitting space for guests to relax. Plus, a May afternoon birthday meant the sun was shining and a little extra shade was needed to keep the guests cool.  Fifteen white folding chairs, a roundcocktail table, and a blue umbrella table rented from Deborah’s Party Rentals solved those problems!

Check out all that seating and the extra shade from the Umbrella!
One of our rectangle tables covered in plastic table cloths to coordinate with CatBoy, LunaGirl, and Gekko was perfect for holding snacks and drinks.


To make the icing have green speckles like Gekko, just mix in some green sugar sprinkles! Here is a link to some similar cupcake toppers you can print if you’re planning a PJ Masks party.

Speaking of snacks, the shaved ice machine with Blue Raspberry syrup (like CatBoy of course!) was a hit with all of the guests (from under age 1 to over age 70!). What a perfect way to keep cool when the temperature was hanging around 80 degrees.

Everyone wanted seconds on the Shaved Ice.

In addition to the slide and backyard toys that the birthday boy had set out for his friends to play, he also picked out the Fat Cats tossing game to have set up for everyone to enjoy. We have so many fun carnival type games you can rent!

Fat Cats was a fun game for all the kids and adults to play.
A month later, when it came time for this Birthday Boy’s little brother to celebrate his first birthday, the backyard was transformed into an ocean-themed party! (Stay posted for a post about that party in the future).

When you’re planning any kind of party, no matter the size, location, theme or occasion certain details must be addressed.  The following list will make your party planning process considerably easier.  These 10 party tips will lighten your load and have your guests cheering for more.  Happy Planning!
1.       Freeze fruit to chill your favorite beverage.  Fruit will not only add flavor to water or wine, but will also keep your beverage of choice cool without watering it down.  Bottoms up!



2.       Use food as a container to serve other food.  This technique is most often seen on fruit and veggie trays, but is an easy way to dress up your buffet.  This is the perfect place for your favorite dip.



3.       Make it clean up easy with baskets lined and labeled for trash and recyclables.  The baskets look nicer than regular trash cans and you won’t be sorting through the mess after the guests go home.



4.       When using extra power sources and extension cords for an outdoor event, make sure to protect the intersection of all your cords by cutting holes in simple disposable containers.  This simple step will prevent guests and their vehicles from shutting down the fun unexpectedly.


5.       When partying outside, don’t forget the sunscreen and bug spray stops.  Nothing can kill the fun faster than bug bites and sunburns.



6.       Glow in the dark everything!  If something is fun during the day, it’s even more fun in the dark where it glows.  This can be fun for kids and adults alike and the products are great on the party budget as well!




7.       Use what’s on hand in a new way.  Your guests will be so impressed when you have taken ordinary household or office items and used them in a new way to accommodate your party’s theme of choice.  Get creative!



8.       Light it up!  Nothing changes the mood more effectively than lighting.  Whether you hire pros to create a custom monogram to be highlighted at your wedding reception, or you simply use Christmas lights across your fence to create a romantic effect to your backyard garden party, lightening can make or break your party.




9.       Make sure your food is easy to eat.  All the beautiful displays that can be imagined when entertaining food can underwhelm when guests don’t have an accessible way to eat it.  Try to remember the logistics of your event when planning the menu.  For example, don’t serve steak when guests have nowhere to sit down with a knife and fork.  Finger foods without messy sauces are always crowd pleasers at parties.




10.   Last but not least, don’t forget about the kiddos when planning your next party.  In most cases, you can count on kids being among your guests, so don’t leave them out.  Even if your main focus of the party is an adult centered event, keeping the kids occupied will insure success.  A Kid Zone is the perfect way to keep the integrity of the main theme of your party still intact.



AS you can see, these party tips can be lifesavers for your future successful party planning adventures.  Have Fun!
