Time for all the details on Emma and Charlie's magical, pony-rific My Little Pony Birthday Party!

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's daughter True Thompson celebrated with family and friends at an early birthday party: The theme: One of her favorite TV shows.
I'm so excited to bring you this party from my client Amy, who purchased my Wizard of Oz Party Plan. Like many of my clients, Amy also cherry picked my Wizard of Oz Party Kit and really made this event her own, which pleases me to no end. I love her ideas for this Wizard

It's birthday time for both of my boys. Though 2 years apart, their birthdays are 6 days apart, so it's natural to have one party for both. With both boys (turning 6 and 4) being huge fans of kids TV show, The Octonauts, finding a theme for this years party was easy peasy, and producing the parts was challenging and fun! Here's what I came up with (and some fun ideas to try - if you're doing one too)... Easy party hats and eye patches were made with coloured card. A 'party room' was set out within our open plan playroom, using walls of seaweed (streamers). Inside that space we set up a central table, set with sea shells, small sea creatures and the food. The 'coral' and 'fish biscuits' were homemade cheese puffs, the chocolate bars were re-badged with Octonaut characters, various confectionery items became 'electric eels' and 'blob fish'. 'Octodogs' (made by slitting legs through red-skinned hotdogs prior to cooking) were served with 'ink sauce' (tomato sauce tinted with blue colouring!) A large hand drawn 'Peso' poster on the wall became a game, following an episode of the Octonauts where he wins an "Iron Clam" award, we had the children 'pin the clam' (a silver painted shell - each with a childs name inside it) in his hand - blindfolded. Later the children were given a treasure map and were sent on a hunt to find their treasure boxes (which would be their goodie bag to take home). Finally, sharing a party is one concession, but I wanted the boys to have a cake each, so they can blow out their own candles. They were each quite sure about their favourite characters, which were not so tricky to replicate in cake form: Dashi (above) for 4 year old Hugo, and Captain Barnacles for Dylan, 6. A fun party, and I'm exhausted! I should have remembered after last years party! Now, who's got the vino? *EDITED: Check out the comments section for loads of FAQs. Seems Octonaut parties are still awesome and our little party has inspired ideas for yours!

Miss 4 chose a classic Women's Weekly Princess Castle cake several months prior to her party (which is why we chose a princess theme). And was very adamant that it just had to be that one! I had to buy the cake tins as I had nothing remotely similar to what was needed (I didn't even own a square pan!) but I'm sure with (soon to be) a family of six that those pans will get a lot of use out of them. A beautiful end result! When Miss 4 asked what her favourite part of her party was she declared it was the 'castle cake!'... enough said! Exhausted, sick, and 6 months pregnant (and hadn't done my hair!) I look a total wreck in the picture above however I'm just so pleased that we were able to pull off such a gorgeous cake.

I would have liked to have had this Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Celebration on February 1st, because that's when the golden ticket tells the kids to go to the factory. Buuuut Tuesdays are our late day and that's when I have all my big shindigs, so January 30th it was. First I adorned the January bulletin board with an Oompa Loompa, and then I got to planning. I wanted an activity to go with each of the characters that visited the factory. Pigskins & Pigtails had a fun idea for Veruca Salt
Princess #4 turned 1 on her golden birthday last year. I was racking my brain on what to do for this important party. #1 is an important party in and of itself, but it being her golden birthday (which my older 3 kept bringing up and kept saying it had to be a really cool party because of that) I knew I had to deliver. Then it hit me--her name is Charlotte, and we sometimes call her Charlie. Why not a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Party to celebrate her Golden Birthday? I got right to work finding these chocolate candy bar wrappers online, then making a golden ticket invitation to put inside all of the chocolate bars to give out to all of our guests to invite them to her special day. I found some fun, shimmery gold paper to print them off on. The trickiest part to the invitation was getting them delivered to everyone without them melting in the hot Texas June weather! I heard from numerous friends that the invitation was a total smashing hit with their kids. Some even thought they really got to go to Wonka's chocolate factory like on the movie. Sorry to disappoint you kids, but you just get to come to my house. We'll have fun though, I promise! I think why my kids were so excited for this theme for their baby sister's party is because they knew that there must be lots of candy if it really is going to be a Willy Wonka party. And oh boy were they right. It started off with the birthday cake. I iced it in a Wonka purple buttercream, added chocolate ganache drips like the chocolate river dripping down the cake, and topped it with all sorts of yummy things--chocolate candy bars, lollipops, and smarties to name a few. Just looking at the cake could send someone into a sugar coma! The fun didn't stop there. I made these cute little edible teacups out of sugar cones, cookies, and pretzels. Just soak the end of the cone in water for a few seconds, then carefully cut that part away. Use a little melted chocolate to glue the cone to the cookie (and fill in the cookie's hole if it has one, like mine did). then glue a piece of a rounded pretzel to the side for the handle. I filled the cups with a homemade chocolate mousse. These were probably the biggest hit out of all the food, at least for the adults (candy was still probably the favorite for the kids). Of course if you are having a Willy Wonka party, you've gotta have some Fizzy Lifting Drink! No kids flew away though! I found these fun papers covered in edible sugar dots at the craft store. It was perfect for our lickable wallpaper. A Dum-dum tree planted in a bed of everlasting gobstoppers does sound delicious. I wish that tree really grew in my backyard! There were also several other jars filled with different kinds of candy and chocolate treats. Yum! Since it was her first birthday, we needed a smash cake for her to have to herself. I made a little golden ticket for her, with gold edible luster dust sprinkled over the yellow buttercream. I also found a Wonka bar wrapper made for mini candy bars. This was a great project for older sisters to help with! I love decorations, and these ones were so fun to do! The lollipops were made out of pool noodles and duct tape, then wrapped in cellophane. There is a great tutorial for them here. The hard candies that were hung from the ceiling were simply colorful chinese lanterns that were wrapped in cellophane. And a golden ticket sign finished off our background. A sign on the front door welcomed our guests to our Charlie's Chocolate Factory. We had a few activities for the kids to do while the adults all visited. I made these photo booth props for kids and adults to take their picture in, using our Wonkavision television. Are you a good egg or a bad egg? We also tied Violet Beauregarde blueberry balloons to each kid's ankle and they tried to smash each other's blueberry, without getting their own blueberry smashed. Some of those kids were ruthless trying to smash each other's blueberries! The cake smash was a great way to end our party--and after all that sugar this little one was ready to have very sweet dreams, and we were very ready to send those sugar filled kids home with their parents 😉 It was a special Golden Birthday for this cute one year old! So fun to celebrate Charlie's birthday at our very own Chocolate Factory! (and yes, I dressed her in orange in honor of the oompa loompas, whose help made this whole party possible 😉 )
