Touchdown Party!

This football season is wrapping up, which means it’s time for more parties!  Whether you’re planning a big party for this Sunday’s big game or you’re planning a small First Down Birthday party for a one year old, we’ve found some fun activities, decorations, and snacks fit for all ages!
We love a fun decorated table setting to match an event, so naturally, we love these fun football centerpieces using glass containers and fresh flowers.

In fact, we loved this look so much, we used it as inspiration for our own version and added some fun paper pennant flags and paper footballs for an event recently.

To get this look, we cut removable vinyl for the bands and seams of the football and applied them to the vases. Aquarium marbles were added to the vase with enough water to keep the flowers fresh. After arranging fresh flowers, we added an assortment of paper pennant flags and paper footballs on small dowels among the flowers and filled the rest of the vase with brown crinkled paper bag filler. We love the end result! The flags and footballs could easily be made in your favorite team colors. Even straw toppers that you can download from Etsy for a few dollars would be a fun addition to a centerpiece.
If you’re celebrating a young fan’s birthday, look at this adorable handmade cake topper by DecorateYourBigDay on Etsy.

At the entry to your event, set up a photo booth where everyone can take pictures before the game starts. We love the referee stripes of this background!

While you wait for the game to start, everyone can enjoy some of our favorites activities, including our larger than life Football Combo!

Every party big or small needs some tasty snacks. We think these chocolate covered strawberries and football shaped brownies would pair perfectly with any bowl of chili, plate of barbeque, or chips and dip.
We hope you have a fantastic weekend and that if you’ll be spending time with family and friends watching football, that it’ll be fun, memorable time!

Trending Themes for Kids’ Birthdays: Backyard Camping

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!)

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.

We have the perfect tents that you could use as a shelter for your campers’ sleeping tents.

Keep an eye out for our ideas on how to plan a colorful party. 😀



Pumpkins, Leaves, Sweaters, Football, Lattes …. and Festivals!

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!
