Bendy and the Ink Machine Birthday Party

Seth's 8th Birthday Party

Bendy and the Ink Machine

So Seth has this thing where when his birthday planning time rolls around, he wants the newest stuff for his theme.  Leaving me with making pretty much all of the decorations, cake and my husband making the invitation all by hand.  This year was no different.  Bendy and the Ink Machine, it's the newest craze and that's what he wanted.  What is it, you ask?  It's a video game, a survival horror one at that.  Heard of Five Nights at Freddy's?  Yep...it's the newest craze, just like Freddy was.  I didn't go all out into the decorations like I usually do.  I've had some severe back pain for over a month now and the doctor still can't figure out why.  My decorations were simple, I made him a shirt, and he's totally in love with it!  I attempted to go all out on the cake.  Now don't go judging, cause I am a total fondant noob.  I did my best, and I have to say it turned out pretty awesome.  I did have trouble with the white fondant, so the side didn't look too great.  I got over it thought because I had already been working on it for over 4 hours and my back was killing me.  If I hadn't been in back pain, I probably would have started all over because I'm super OCD like that.  The party favors consisted of bendy straws (get it?!  I thought it was hilarious), candy, Bendy tattoos that I had made, and some bracelets.  Here are the pictures.  Hope you enjoy them, and they help you if you decide to have a Bendy and the Ink Machine (BATIM) party also!

Seth's Lego Birthday Party

Today is my son Seth's 5th birthday.  He decided he wanted to have a Lego Movie birthday party at the skating rink.  Of course they don't make Lego Movie party supplies yet, so that left me with the task of making everything.  I searched on Pinterest for a few of the ideas, but thought I would share them with you all so that you can have your own Lego birthday party as well.

I went with primary colors for everything.  I bought the plates, napkins, tablecloth and plasticwear at Target.  They had a great deal, 60 plates or napkins for $3 each.  The tablecloths and plasticwear were also $3 each.  The cups I bought at Sams were around $8 for 140.

There were a lot of posts about utensil holders made out of Legos.  My husband decided to take it one step further and make it into a little house.  Complete windows, flowers, and a front door.  

It turned out super cute!

Since the party started at 3, we provided snacks.  I served Black Bean and Corn Salsa with chips (not pictured), Colored Goldfish, Sour Patch Kids, Pretzels, and Juice Boxes.

I bought the cupcakes from Sams as well.  It was just under $15 for a quantity of 30.  I ordered half chocolate and half white cake with white icing and sprinkles.

My husband also made the Lego 5 as a party decoration.

I topped them with these little Lego candies I found on Amazon.  The candles I picked up at Party City.

For party favors, I made Rice Krispie Treats and topped them with a little white icing and stuck Mini M&M's to them.

I bought the favor bags at Target and printed the Lego Tags for free on cardstock.  I cut them out and stapled them to the bags.

The banner I bought at a local party supply store, they actually had it on clearance for $4.  It's from Lego City instead of the movie, but I couldn't pass it up.

Seth with his friends.

I also picked up a Lego Movie Shirt from Target for $9.

He had a blast!  I can't believe he's already 5!  Hope these ideas help out with your Lego Party!
