A Captain America Party for Peyton!

Happy Monday! I don't know about you, but my house is super excited about the Avengers movie opening this weekend.

So in the spirit of all things super, here is a fantastic Captain America party my friend Courtney from Picture Perfect Party Designs and Buttercream Bling created for her son. Here are the highlights according to Courtney....

"My five year old really believes he will be a super hero when he grows up, so in the mean time he passes his days being obsessed with the best of them! Captain America is by far his favorite though. So when it came time to think of a theme for his party, it was a no brainer!

He played a very active role in the planning of his party, he was adamant there be cake pops, a Captain America figure on his own Jumbo cupcake and a pinata! Those were easy orders to fill. We got Michelle from Party Plan-It Designs to help out with a massive banner to match everything. I also enlisted the help of my very talented photographer friend Erica Williams.

Through my cupcake business, Buttercream Bling, I made the cupcakes, cake pops, cake balls, cookies, fondant toppers and other desserts. My party planning alter ego, Picture Perfect Party Designs created all the other decor.

We played several games, one in which the kids rescued the world from the evil Red Skull and were rewarded with Medals of Honor. In addition to the snacks and dessert bar, we served Bahama Bucks shaved Ices, "The best shaved ice on the planet" in my son's opinion. It's pretty amazing.

We also asked the kids to come dressed as their favorite super hero (we made his Captain America Costume ourselves) and they made their own shields. It was a great party"

Surf's Up!!!

Our friend Courtney at Buttercream Bling and Picture Perfect Party Designs threw this awesome birthday party for her son Avery...well, let me just have her tell you all about it:

"With 2 boys I am always searching for fun, fresh party ideas. There seems to be a never ending supply of cute girls themes, but for some reason, boys always end up getting the short end of the stick in terms of 'cuteness'. So when the idea to do a surfer boy theme hit me, it really hit me. I loved the idea of the bright colors, the surf boards and the fun slang phrases! I could not wait to start planning his surfer boy bash!

I knew I wanted boy colors and I knew I wanted them to be bright, so Orange, Lime Green and Bright Blue seemed like a natural place to start. I themed the entire party around those 3 colors. I also loved the idea of re-purposing sand pails, and using them as containers for both the dessert table and the food tables. After that it all fell into place. Stephanie of Suckersbysteph was amazing to work with, she provided the Chocolate #2 pops, the round pop favors, and the printables. My friend Maria Sauerbrei did all the photography, and Michelle (from Party Plan-It) designed our fun welcome sign. I created the surf's up banner, the name blocks, the cupcake stands and styled the table through Picture Perfect Party Designs. The marshmallow pops, cookies, cupcakes and all other goodies were through my cupcake boutique Buttercream Bling.

The kids had a blast, the weather here in Az was a perfect 78 degree's that day."

 

 

What a terrific party! Thank you Courtney for sharing and letting us be part of Avery's big day!
