The games, “goody bags,” party hats and decorations were a breeze. Invitations were easily the most difficult and time consuming part of the party. The final result was a pretty epic party invitation, if I do say so.īefore I cleaned everything, I used the same method to quickly throw together matching thank you notes. I used the same tracing process to create the detailed information for the back of the invite, and we tore and singed those as well, gluing them to the other side of the green “lawn” cardstock. Finally, we glued the singed notes to larger pieces of green cardstock. We then tore them out to make the edges rough (and flammable), and we used leftover Christmas candles to singe the edges. I printed off the note and traced it onto another piece of paper using a fine point Sharpie and moving the note as necessary to spell out “birthday” in place of “pool.” I scanned the final note and created a simple document with four images of the note and printed it on basic, cream-colored cardstock. The Zombies left a clever party invitation in their game. One of those notes made a nearly perfect party invitation, requiring just a couple of word substitutions. When playing PvZ, the zombies leave notes between levels indicating they’re about to launch a massive attack. So we put our heads together, had a couple of workdays, and pulled off one amazing birthday party for our boys.įirst, we made the invitations. Now I’m relatively certain that there are pre-made party supplies out there for this theme, but Ellie and I are both fans of DIY and frugality. At play dates, they run around gleefully yelling brains at each other. Her son, G, also has a December birthday.īoth boys are wild fans of Plants vs. This year, my friend Ellie and I decided to divide labor and celebrate both our boys together. Having a December birthday, we usually celebrate in January. My mother actually drew them all for the birthday boys big day! There are way too many details to list but this was one of my favorite parties to date.My son, H, turned 5 last month. I love the doing challenging themes and there wasnt much of anything out there for Plant vs Zombie lovers! One of my favorite details this year was all of the hand drawn yard decor. “When my son told me he wanted his birthday party theme to be like his favorite video game I jumped at the chance. This is what Lauren said about planning/stlying the party. The awesome cupcakes placed in green paint splattered flower pots.
