{Ask Amy} Super Hero Party Ideas

Tweet

I loved Wonder Woman when I was a little girl!  I used to have the "Under-Roos" and I thought they were my costume.  I even had a real Wonder Woman costume when I got a little older for trick-or-treating.  Recently a friend of mine asked for my help in throwing a Super Hero party for her daughter who is turning four.  She will be Wonder Woman!  So I threw together some inspiration and thought I would share it with you.

I love all of these ideas and there are so many really great ones out there!  I had to include the photo of this little Wonder Woman too!  What a great idea and this would make great invitations as well as a perfect touch to the party table decor!

And last but not least, the photo booth!  I love this super idea from Anders Ruff!  A few great photo props and this is so easy and what a fun way to capture a lasting memory of all of your guests.  Print photos from the photo booth and include them in your thank you notes for a personal touch.

Be sure to check out my Pinterest board to see all the vendor details and photography credits on all of these amazing photos, party ideas and even more that I didn't include here.  Happy planning!

Halloween Party & Decor Inspirations

 Halloween!  My favorite holiday of the year...my little one and I have some yearly traditions that bring out the spooky in all of us!  I will be sharing more of those later.  But today, I wanted to share this fabulous inspiration board created by Keisha of Cupcake Wishes & Birthday Dreams!  She was kind enough to share this with me and I just love the fresh take on the season's spooky decorations!

Be sure to check out Keisha's blog to find all the photography credits and locations on the web where you can see more about each of these inspirations!

And my favorite from the whole board, deserves another look!  I love the chair swags photographed from a Halloween wedding created by Blue Moon Events and shared on The Sweetest Occasion.  Be sure to link through and see all of the gorgeous details created for this one-of-a-kind event!  I have got to try making my own chair swags...I just love these!

Hmmm...maybe I need to tag this as inspiration for a wedding one day!

And one last image I just have to share with you!  I LOVE these for homemade ghost costumes!  Seriously, how cute are these and how much fun would it be to create a photo like this to use for your Halloween party invitations or greetings?  This idea and photo was created by Bird & Banner!

Happy Haunting!

{Ask Amy} Little Man Family Party Ideas

Recently I was asked for some fun ideas for a father/son birthday party with a Little Man theme!  I love this idea and after the recent hit of the mustache lollipops at my son's Super Mario party, I immediately began the hunt for a Mustache Bash!  I have seen several versions of this idea done before but thought I would draw some inspiration from all of them and more to share with you!

For the invitations, I love the idea of hiring a photographer to get a great family photo of you all!  Use the photo for your invite and frame a large one to add to your party decor!  Set a beautiful piece of stationary next to the framed photo with a pen and a sign asking all of your guests to leave birthday wishes to each of you on the paper.  After the party, mount the paper to the back of the frame for a special keepsake from your special day!

Ties & mustaches are a theme running throughout most of these ideas!  Necktie flaps on goodie bags in complimentary patterns and colors are a perfect way to send your guests home with goodies from a candy bar!  Or another fabulous idea is to create "my stache" jars to fill with colorful treats!  Mustache lollipops with party flags are another easy way to personalize your party!  Necktie cookies, bibs and birthday banners top it off.

And this super cute little man party with necktie t-shirts that create a banner and double as favors for the kids in fresh colors that are perfect for all ages!

And I love the inspiration provided by the above photos for food to serve at the party!  Grosgrain ribbon wrapped around toothpicks make a easy DIY topper to any food or dessert.  Any small foods will do the trick!  Finger foods for a little man make it easy to feed a crowd.

And last but not least, a photo booth ready with props for all ladies and gents!  Love this signage!  Be sure to check out my Pinterest board to see all vendor and photography credits, DIY tutorials, as well as link to all the sources so you can get started on your own 'Litlle Man' party!
