The Batman Party

I have finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up... That is a "Party Planner"!!! I have to say that I definitely wish I could do this for a living cause I LOVED every bit of planning Co-Man's 3rd birthday party. And since I started just a little over 4 months ago, I had plenty of time!!! Some ideas changed, some didn't take place, some didn't turn out like I hoped and some turned out GREAT!!!! And the most important thing of all, Co-Man had a TERRIFIC time!
~~~

It all started with this - The invitation!!! This wasn't the original idea. I put the first idea together and I just didn't like it. So I started browsing online and that is when I ran across this one and absolutely loved it. So I cant take full credit for this, however, I am proud that I was able to create the design and print it myself (which has inspired me to possibly start making and selling invitations).

When I started planning the Batman party and had already decided that we would use the garage, I automatically thought how cool it would be to turn the garage into "Gotham City". With some cardboard boxes and paint, that is what we did. I love the way my banner turned out and what is funny, as I am taking this picture, I didn't even catch that one part fell (ha)Cant have a Batman party without super hero capes and mask.

The Menu:

Batman subs

Two Face Pizza bites

Catwoman's catnip

Square yellow plates for the adults and batman plates for the kids along with their own personalized sippy cup. Bat labels with names were provided for the adults.

With two empty Reynolds wrap rolls and some ribbon along with an embellishment, you have some cute napkin rings!~~~
The Favors table

For the Adults:

Dipped pretzels rods & Picture of Co-Man

For the Kiddos:

Personalized Batman Tee, Coloring Books - Batman for the boys and Wonder Woman for the girls & Dipped pretzel crayons

This had to be one of my favorite projects and so happy that I decided to do this.

Batman Picture Prop.

The kids loved it and even some of the adults!

The party turned out GREAT! There was tons of cutting, taping, dipping, tying, printing, ironing, and painting. And though there were times I wished I just planned for a simple cake and ice cream type of party, I am glad I went with it ALL!!!

SPECIAL THANKS

TO:

The Hubby for allowing me to do anything and everything I wanted to do. For your help in all the projects and trying not to roll your eyes too much!

And a Special Thanks to Co-Man! If it wasn't for you, Mommie wouldn't have gotten to plan this fun party. And though you didn't really understand the thrill of it all and probably wont remember this party, You did have a GREAT TIME and loved it all (even though for the past few months you continued to tell me you didn't want a Batman party anymore but wanted a Spiderman one)... We love you so much and truly enjoyed making your birthday special (and yes, Mommie cant wait to plan the next one)
