Over the years I have thrown Mac a candy themed party, a dog theme, hawaiian themed, artist, jungle, pirate, carnival, camp-out and now a movie themed birthday party. Carnival will probably be my all-time favorite, but movie is a close second because it was just so easy (and involved the whole house smelling like hot buttered popcorn). Here are the details...
The "red carpet" (roll of plastic tablecloth) entrance...
Decorations...
My favorite was wrapping a big roll of tickets around the banisters...
The concessions...we rented a popcorn machine and filled jars with various movie candy...
Pretty much one of the reasons I wanted to throw this party was for the candy...
When everyone arrived we served pizza (Mac's request) and a big salad...sang happy birthday and then started the movie (Goonies)...
And I had little boxes ready for the kids to scoop more candy after the movie to take home as favors...
Hopefully everyone had fun because I sure did.
I boxed up all the decorations and leftover party supplies so if anyone is interested in a head start for your own movie party please e-mail me and we can figure out the details.
Oh and I arranged a way to answer any questions about a post in the comment section from now on so cupcake and frosting details are here.
I actually have a little scrapbooking to share tomorrow...
