This is what Abigail said about planning the party- “For my daughter’s 11th birthday we took the party to the local Roller Rink. My daughter wears these plastic neon green glasses just about everywhere we go, so clearly she’s got a thing for neon.

This is the first time I’ve had any of my kid’s birthdays at a venue, and even though it was just a touch tricky on the set up, it can be done, and it is SO worth it! We knew we would be working with picnic style tables, so we decided to style three, separate, fully functional tablescapes.

Food Table:
Since the party was at 10 am, we wanted to give these kids some fuel to skate the day away. We created neon popcorn boxes, filled them with cereal, and added a cute little sticker round to tie it all together. Fruit Skewers and mini muffins were the biggest hit of the day…until dessert. We also offered yogurt parfaits in cute little containers with a washi tape adornment. We went with mini birthday pennant banners for the tables to keep the decor centralized.

Dessert Table:
Of course this table is always the most popular at any party! We are particularly excited about our handmade Pushcake Stand… this was a huge hit and so easy to make! Homemade Brownie pops flew off the tray (we think its because of the super cute glitterstix). Roller skate shaped rice krispie treats with neon sprinkles was easily one of my favorite things. For party favors, we sent the kiddies home with neon shoelaces and boxes filled with neon sour gummy worms.. yummmm! Each table was sprinkled with handmade neon confetti and it really completed the entire look of the party.

Drink Table:
We offered orange juice, water, and starbucks bottled coffees for the parents to enjoy. Neon washi tape on the straws doubled as flags as well as a spot for everyone to write their name on.

Honestly, the best part of this party was seeing everyone having a blast on the rink. Something about slapping on a pair of roller skates brings out the kid in everyone, including myself. It was such a blast! I recommend taking your next party to the rink and giving it a splash of neon!”

80′s Rock Star 30th Birthday Party

How cool is this 80′S ROCK STAR 30TH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Laura Harper of My Pookie Designs! So many totally awesome ideas!

Here is what Laura had to say about planning the party- “My sister-in-law asked me to do a party for one of my dbrothers who turned the big 30. It was fun to combine two themes together, 80′s and Rock Star. I chose neon and black for the color scheme, because what’s more fun and totally rockin’ than neon!?

On the dessert table, there were: microphone push pops made with chocolate pudding, snickers, whipped cream, brownies and crushed Oreos (so fun and so scrumptious), drum sticks (pretzel rods), black sixlets, California Raisins (picture pasted on mini raisin boxes), Pop Rocks, rock candy, and my personal favorite, Rock Star drinks with custom labels I designed. LOVE how they turned out, the picture of my brother couldn’t be more perfect. I liked the idea to have a place for people to write their name so they don’t forget which drink is theirs.

Tin pails were used as containers and stands. There were simple black tablecloths sprinkled with silver stars, and a backdrop covered in neon shapes- even Pac Man! Pretty simple set up, but the details made all the difference including the beacon, disco and party lights!

We had a photo op with inflatable guitars, glasses, neon bracelets plus some totally rockin’ 80′s styles! There was an inflatable air guitar contest for the kids in which they were all rated by judges (they all got a 10 of course) and received a trophy stuffed with candy. I also designed some fun VIP Backstage Passes for everyone to wear. We jammed all night long to 80′s rock music, Rock band and karaoke! Everyone had a blast!”
