Party Season Sneak Peak

Things have been ridiculously busy 'round here.  More on that later.

April is birthday season for us, as we have two birthdays only six days apart. That means planning and hosting two parties only one week apart!

Here's a little sneak peak of what I've been busily putting together lately. 

Liam has chosen a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme.  In order to save my sanity keep things simple, he is having just a small group of friends to watch the first Ninja Turtles movie and even fewer to sleepover and have a Ninja Turtle movie marathon with the next two films.  Nice and easy, just pizza for this one...

 

Hamish has chosen a ninja theme (they have very similar interests, apparently!) We are running a ninja training academy for the day...

I love how these ninja scroll invitations turned out! The Word formatted document is simply printed on parchment-style paper (there are lots of free "ninja" fonts online).  Then I hot-glued bamboo sticks (from the garden department at Bunnings onto each side before rolling and securing with ribbon.

I'm having a lot of fun with these themes. You can see lots of great ideas on my TMNT and Ninja Pinterest boards.
