A few of the things I like best about this Ben 10 party are:

The 2-layer Ben 10 themed cake
The Oreo pops with decorated alien symbols
The tassel banner
and MORE!

Here’s what Romina said about the party- “Behind the best birthday parties I’ve seen, not only are event planners, or great party designers, there are mothers, aunts, grandmothers with great enthusiasm. This is the Ben 10 Birthday party that Lucca´s mom organized for him. And I had the pleasure of collaborating.”

Teresa said this about planning the party- ”Six year old Anton wants to be in the Army when he grows up so he requested a Bootcamp Birthday Party. Challenge accepted.

After getting geared up and ready, the birthday boy’s dad sat the kids down for a few minutes to talk to them about what it means to be a soldier and how men & women in the military give their lives to protect us. Per Anton’s request, he also explained a little about a group called Goruck that his daddy is very involved in. Complete with a rucksack full of bricks, these 12-17 hour Goruck Challenges are a slice of what the Special Forces go through in training.

Through these challenges, this party was born.

Though the kids initially thought of it as a race, they began to understand that they needed to work together as a team on several of the events. They also sweated it out running tires, hurdles, {fake} barbed wire army crawl, and several climbing & balancing challenges.

After several water breaks, it was time for cake and snacks. There were lots of “oohs & ahhs” as the boys and girls unwrapped their cupcakes and saw that even those were camouflage inside.

Everything from the cake and snacks, to the construction of the events themselves were fully made by Ben & Teresa, the birthday boy’s mom and dad.”

Vintage Baseball 79th Birthday Party

Take me out to the ballgame BASEBALL themed birthday party via Kara's Party Ideas KarasPartyIdeas.com #baseball #boy #birthday #party #idea #decoration #ideas

This legendary 79TH BIRTHDAY VINTAGE BASEBALL PARTY was submitted by Christy Bergerson of Itsy Belle.

What an amazing party full of fabulous ideas!

A few things that I love in this vintage baseball party are:

The cake pops and Oreos designed to look like baseballs
The assortment of vintage wooden crates that the food items are displayed on
The Twinkies topped with red frosting to look like hot dogs
and MORE!

Items used in this party available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop:
Popcorn Boxes
Polka Dot Balloons
Cupcake Liners
White 2-sided Frame
Lollipop / Treat Sticks
Striped Paper Straws
Paper Fan Honeycomb Flowers
Burlap

Here’s what Christy said about planning the party- “My Grandpa, or ‘Pappa’ as my kids call him, lives to play baseball. Every year my grandparents fly from Seattle to Mesa, Arizona for the winter specifically for my Grandpa to be able to play on his softball team. At 79, he sometimes plays three games a day! It’s his love of the game that inspired me to throw him this 79th Vintage Baseball Birthday party.

This party was created on a very small budget with only a few days to plan, so I borrowed as much decor as possible, kept the sweets simple and made the most of the printables!

Glass Coke bottles and striped straws with our mini baseball pennants in a vintage soda crate made for picture perfect and cost effective party favors.

With no time to bake and a tight budget, the dessert table treats included Twinkies with a bit of red icing that became “hot dogs on a stick”, Starbucks cake pops and Golden Oreos dipped in white Wilton Candy Melts and piped with red buttercream to resemble baseballs and of course Cracker Jacks and Popcorn which are a must have for any baseball event. I was able to pick up popcorn bags at my local craft store as well as a roll of brown packaging paper for a table runner and red polka dot balloons which added a lot of bang for my buck. I reused some paper fans I had from last years fourth of July celebration as well. Red and white carnations from the local grocery store rearranged into a baseball like centerpiece with color coordinated ribbon trim provided a centerpiece for under ten dollars.

Overall the party was inexpensive, stress free and fun! Most importantly my grandfather had a great time and was able to enjoy a little baseball even though his playing season was over for the year.”

This is what Polyana said about the party- “Lucas is a lucky little birthday boy whose grandma is an event planner. When Lucas turned five, Carol (his lovely mom) and her mom planned a Jurassic Park themed birthday party in green, orange, and brown, turning the park pavilion into a playful “Jurassic Land” display. The decor was right down dino lane, with a fern-covered dessert table and active volcano cake surrounded by dinosaurs. Also loved the themed details, from the goody bags to the dinosaur piñata to the kids dinosaurs hats which later on got them running around acting like dinosaurs. This party was roarrrrtastic!”

I love the tradition of the Korean Dol or Doljabi where the birthday girl or boy is presented with items like a football, stethoscope, string and microphone and whichever item the child picks up foretells what his future will hold!
