Harmonius Events took the fun to a new level with this adventurous Jurassic Park birthday party, creating an exciting area for kids to enjoy.  Taking advantage of a large, outdoor space, this birthday set-up was like a scene from the hit movie, ensuring that everyone would know the theme right away.

Along one side of the yard a wonderful large gate was diy’d to mimic the movie with a giant Jurassic Park sign right above it.  Beside the gate plants were set up on each side with little dinosaur signs. In addition, giant dinosaurs lurked overhead with toothy grins!

For a guaranteed blast of fun, a giant bouncy house was put into the yard, so the kids could jump as much as they wanted to.

The tables for the guests were classically simple with interchanging black and red tablecloths and lovely white chairs.  Each table had an adorable dinosaur as the centerpiece.

Some neat features at this party included a table covered in black that dinosaurs were set on top of guarding their nest in the cents.  The eggs were set-up in various stages so you could see the baby dinos for a fun effect. Another was taking large black fabric and covering a wall, and then placing giant green leaves over the whole thing.

Each of the snacks and beverages was labelled to match the theme with fun names like Dino Bones for pretzel sticks and Watering Hole for the bottled water. Everything was set-up with lots of space so the kids could reach it all easily.

A favorite activity used at this party was a photo station that was made so the kids could have a way to remember the adventure forever. It was perfectly decorated with hanging vines, tiki torches to each side, dinosaur signs and of course the scary smoke for effect.

Using a mash-up of two favorite classics, Got Sweetz came up with a theme that was both fabulous and unique for celebrating this little one’s birthday. Because the special birthday girl loved Minnie Mouse, it only made sense to have the theme center around her and incorporating a princess idea really emphasized the sweetness of the idea. So, Got Sweetz found an adorable picture of Minnie Mouse dressed as Cinderella and this Minnierella themed birthday party came to life.

The photo found was placed in a fantastic frame that was diy painted in silver to match the theme colors. It was then used as a centerpiece to the backdrop made for the dessert table. With soft blue and white crepe paper hanging in vertical strips on the wall, the photo was accented beautifully. The table was covered in an elegant fashion with a white cover lined with a lovely blue runner.

With a traditional layout of treats on tall and short trays, each treat was easily accessible as well as theme-based and delicious looking. Alicia’s Delicias made adorable looking sugar cookies frosted in blue and white which were set on a cute little tray in the center of the table. Mini-cheesecake  bites were contributed by the Incredebites adding a sweet that is unique to the party scene.  A fresh take on pretzels was used by Joy Cake Pops who used caramel to wrap them rather than chocolate for a treat that was sure to be loved.  With a variety of other tasty options, this table was full of decadence that any kid could love.

The cake was a true beauty with three layers of detail and bold colors topped with Cinderella’s carousel. It was set on a wonderful, blue cake tray allowing it to take the stage fantastically.

One way to make any little one feel like a Princess for her birthday is to create a world of imagination that they can be spoiled to perfection in.  Linda from My Princess Party to Go did not let anyone down with this fantastic Cinderella Themed Party to Go Box, encompassing all of the wonder and fun that a little Princess could want.

In this lovely example of a Princess party, a large carousel frame was used as a backdrop, with an open center allowing for more decorations to fill in nicely.  A sheer curtain made a lovely stage for the giant poms and fantastic clock hung in front of it.  An additional neat touch was using lights to add to the elegance of the lighting.

The treat table was covered in a fantastic golden, sparkly tulle and drawn up in the center for a curved detailing that really looked quite wonderful. Little stools were placed in front of the table holding sweet little blue and white tutus that sparkled as well.

Some neat little details included to make the birthday girl really feel treasured included a blue sparkly tutu, wand, and tiara of her very own to enjoy the celebration that much more.  Each of these little costume bits had touches that made them work together as a set beautifully, like a little satin flower on the wand and tutu.  She also got an official certificate ensuring that she would be a member of the League of Princesses.  

The table also had a wonderful tray of cupcakes all topped with mini-tiaras on a tray patterned with glass slippers that were filled with blue m&ms of different shades, adding to the magical effect.  A sweet little Cinderella doll made a perfect little centerpiece for the look with her gorgeous blue gown.

The backdrop chosen for the tasty ice cream table was a wonderful classic style picture of an ice cream parlour.  With an array of pastel colors, adorable art and a fun font for the writing on it, this piece was a sure attention grabber that set the tone for the whole party perfectly.  A neat pink and white striped cover was used for the table to hold all of the tasty delights in style.

The table was filled to the brim with all sorts of delicious treats and decor, so the guests were sure to find something yummy to try out.  Giant cupcakes were set on tall trays and placed all along the length of the table, creating definition and adding fun colors with bold pink, blue and yellow frosting all made out to look like sundaes. Tasty looking ice cream containers set underneath the trays adding a fun touch that was sure to draw the eye.  The cake was perfection set on top of an awesome blue and white striped tray that blended with the theme smoothly. As far as desserts go, the cake was definitely one-of-a-kind, 3-D and shaped like an ice cream cone, even topped with the cherry.
