Another year another party!
This year for my son’s 8th birthday the
theme was Plants Vs. Zombies in lieu of the new Plants Vs. Zombies Garden
Warfare game hitting the stores in 2014. Here are some of the party details.
Invitations were bought from Etsy (Danni’s Cute
Creations) https://www.etsy.com/listing/191390484/plants-vs-zombies-birthday-party. I saw the invitation but wanted a few changes to the one listed on
their website and they were able to design it exactly how I wanted address,
city, state, zip, & phone numbers left out for privacy reasons.
Invitations were of a good
quality and came with envelopes. I created some address & mailing labels
and also had a sticker on the back of the envelope to go along with the theme,
images from yahoo images.
Half the battle was choosing decorations to set the mood
of this party. Here is a list of decorations resources. I decided on this printable package from Etsy (Pinwheels
and PomPoms) https://www.etsy.com/listing/190829658/pvz-party-printable-discount-set?ref=shop_home_active_20
mainly because it had a lot of cute printables that could be used throughout
the party. The birthday banner was purchased from Etsy (PreciousCelebration) https://www.etsy.com/listing/201813609/plants-vs-zombies-birthday-banner-plants?ref=shop_home_active_17
I purchased a customized sign from Etsy (HauteTopicDesigns)

I decided that Chik fil a would be the food of choice including chicken
salad sandwiches, nuggets, and a garden salad all catered to the house. The
sweets were definitely more interesting as usual we had a custom made cake from
the same local women that did last year’s Ghostbuster Cake - Sandra’s Cakes,
Port St. Lucie, FL you can see her work on her blog www.sandrascakes.blogspot.com
or she has an account on Facebook. I merged two cakes I saw on Pinterest and
gave her a few ideas I wanted to incorporate and again she worked her magic and
created a beautiful cake. I also, found a local women to create some cake pops
Pinterest inspired as well - Mama Cakes, Port St. Lucie, FL you can see her
work on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/jennhasacupcake She was a pleasure to work with and her cake pops were
delicious, they were red velvet on the inside:)
