Minions Birthday Party Inspiration

I had so much fun last year preparing my sons 8 years birthday party. Two basic colors: yellow and blue and the funniest cartoons characters The Minions!

I found via Pinterest a lot of DIY ideas for decorations and activities. Printables are my favorites and I always have self-adhesive paper, that makes it easy to print and stick to any surface. In this case I printed on self-adhesive paper Minions eyes to decorate the drinking cups and cardboard paper for the Minions goggles.

For entertainment we had games like running with a spoon, target shooting and Minions bowling. I made the pines from plastic bottles that I painted blue and yellow and self-adhesive Minions faces.

My boys are not into conventional birthday cakes. So we put together a candy table with snacks, norwegian buns, Minions cupcakes and cotton candy.

Our cotton candy machine is from Clas Ohlson. Very fun to make and to eat.

Party table colorful details! The piñata is from Ballong Dekor.

This days you will find me more active on Instagram @livingfourseasons.

Party invitations

My last birthday party tips for this year is this website Print With My Pic, where you can edit party invitations, thank you cards, birthday cards, calendars, announcements cards...etc..  with your own picture. Just edit online and print them.

 

I wanted my son's birthday party invitations to look like a movie ticket, and I found this web site while I was searching for inspiration. They came out really cool!

I used the Ticket Invitation 6, that has a classic look.

The bar code is for the RSVP!

The picture that I used for the card is from Not-Quite-Normal

I had so much fun sharing this ideas with all of you.

Let me know if there is something that I can help with. I will love to!

Cupcakes!

Perry the Platypus is Phineas & Ferb pet, but he is also a secret agent and he is always popping up in surprising places. This time he did it on my son's birthday party cupcakes! :) Even that my son doesn't like cupcakes, I had to make them! And he love how they look and his friends finish them all. I found this idea on the Disney Family Go website, but I made my own version of this cute cupcakes.

To make the Perry Platypus figure I used: wafer cookies, blue marzipan, one marshmallow and black decorating gel. The muffins and the frosting are mixes from the grocery store.

First I divided some wafer cookies in half for the figure body and others I cut them in pieces of four for the figure nose. It wasn't easy trying not to eat the cookies!!

After rolling the marzipan I put the half cookies over and cut out the blue part for the body front.

Then I took small pieces of marshmallow and sticked on the marzipan and used the black decorating gel to make a little point for the eyes.

Finally I just pushed the figure on the cupcake and they were ready to enjoy the party.

The party is not over in Living Four Seasons house! Today we are celebrating 10 year catholic weeding anniversary and 5 months of blogging, in three weeks we have one more birthday and grandma Rosy is coming from Colombia. In the top of that I am going back to work next week.

Have a nice weekend,

PS. I save this one for you!

Thank you for all your comments and following Living Four Seasons.

Summer Birthday Table

We had the perfect weather for a Phineas & Ferb party theme: Summer!

 This is how we did it:

-White plastic tablecloth from Stoff og Stil

-Napkins, paper plates and cups from Staples

-Paper straws from Etsy/sweet estelle's

-Flowers vases from Home & Cottage and Omaggio/Kähler

-Flowers from the 17 of May decorations, only the yellow roses were new, from Mester Grønn and Meny

-Table-runner is the leftover from the Ikea panel curtain that I used for my bench makeover

The blog Lidyll has a challenge where other blogs share ideas about decorating summer tables.

Check it out {here} maybe you have an idea you want to share too? :)

Have a nice day! The weekend is around the corner...

Have You Hear About...

Little boys that don't like cake? not even chocolate cake, muffins, cupcakes... any kind of cake. Well I have one, so when it comes to his birthday cake we have to come with something creative, something that he likes so he can say: I had a birthday cake!

He loves Skillingsboller, (Norwegian Cinnamon Buns) and my husband, that inherited from his mother the taste for baking, always bake them in a 25cm round pan, that way they come out looking like a cake, a Skillingsboller cake! Kake på norsk. :)

The cute mini happy birthday pennant bunting is a free printable form Karas Party Ideas. A lovely web site with very nice ideas. I printed the freebie using Avery's sticker project paper, it is very easy: just cut, bend and attach to a yarn or string. To hold them up I covered two barbecue sticks with a colorful tape from Søstrene Grene.

Love the result and the birthday boy was very happy with his cake. I made cupcakes too. I will show them later in another post.

Thank you so much for asking how my feet are :) I can say that they are looking good and I am very happy that I am done with that period of my life. For my birthday in July I will buy me a nice par of Tom's! :) or maybe two ;)

XOXO,

Printable Bunting Banner

I designed this bunting banner for my son's birthday party using a Phineas and Ferb font and clip art from Disney.no.

Since I guess that there are other Phineas and Ferb's fans out there I wanted to share it with all of you!

Click on each picture to open the link and then tab Ctrl+S to download and save them. Print them in a thick paper. I use one of those sketchbooks for kids size A4. Here in Norway I buy them at Nille.
Make holes in the corners and tide tie them together.

This is the first time I share my own Printable Design so please be kind and let me know if you like my banner or if you have any suggestions. I will really appreciate it!
Stay tune for all my other Phineas and Ferb party ideas. Some of them are inspire from other websites and others are DIY ideas of my own.

Have a nice day! ☼
