Ultimate Pokémon Party Ideas

Posted in Childrens Party, Party Inspiration by

Pika Pika!

By now there is no doubt you’ve heard of the phenomena that is Pokémon Go. It’s done more for the US obesity epidemic in one week then what presidential efforts have done in decades. This game is taking the world by storm, with users all over getting up and moving around in hunt for their next Pokémon catch, and I can’t blame them! Pokémon has been a long time favorite game of mine since I was younger. I played up through the gold/silver days on Gameboy. If you’re not sure what that means – well it pretty much means I am a fan of the original 151.

But enough nerd talk, we’ve got an exciting board to get to! This week I’ve put together some of my most absolute FAVORITE party ideas I’ve seen thus far. I’d reckon in the future I’ll have to update this as more and more ideas pop up, but for now, I think kids everywhere will enjoy the Pokémon party ideas I’ve put together for this week’s inspiration board. And to clarify, when I say kids, I mean tiny humans and grown adults like myself that still love their Pikachu. Or Charamander in my case. And Jigglypuff. And Sandshrew. Oh and can’t forget Eevee. You know what, I need to stop or I’ll be here for a while, and there are Pokémon to be caught out there!

Here’s what I had in mind for as ultimate Pokémon party ideas:

I’m a huge fan, to say the least. This week is all of my favorite Harry Potter party ideas combined into one magical party.

Posted in Alternative Themed Wedding Ideas, Birthday Party, Childrens Party, Party Inspiration by

Did you know yesterday was Hobbit Day? Apparently my nerdy-ness level has been down ranked since I just found out about it myself. But you know what? That’s why we have sites like Pinterest, so we can bookmark ideas for future use. With that in mind – I put together this party inspiration board for Hobbit Day 2016 (and beyond!) and all your future Lord of the Rings party needs. Here’s what I had in mind for this outdoor party:

Ultimate Gamer Party Ideas

Posted in Childrens Party, Party Inspiration by

Are you a gamer? Do you know a gamer? I bet you answered yes to at least one, if not both, of those questions. I myself belong to multiple fandoms and gaming communities on various platforms. I’ve been a gamer of some sort since I was little……and I see no end in sight! There’s really a game out there for everyone, and always something new coming out soon to revolutionize the industry that you just have to play.

This week’s inspiration came from this “Computer Geek” printable party kit available on UncommonGoods.

It was when I was first approached by UncommonGoods to do the product review and giveaway that I first discovered these party kits. Be sure to check out their other kits HERE. They are not your average run-of-the-mill pretty printable kit, oh no, they are nothing you’ve seen before in a party printable. I love the designers unique twist on the themes and can’t wait to see more.  Oh – if you don’t know about the giveaway going on, CLICK HERE TO CATCH UP AND ENTER!

Here’s what I had in mind for this party inspiration:
