Mario Bros Themed Birthday Party

I’m really excited to feature the MARIO THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY I recently styled! I am constantly receiving emails and comments asking for Mario party ideas since it’s such a popular theme right now…so I wanted to create a fun party chuck full of super mario bros party ideas just for you! I wanted to use fun colors and prints, making the party more modern and bright. I chose lime green, red and yellow as the main colors and added lots of chevron patterns to the mix!

All of the party supplies used in this party are available in the Kara’s Party Ideas shop, making it simple to plan your next Super Mario Bros. themed party because you can find everything all in one place.

Question mark candy tins & mushroom candy tins available in the shop, here...

Using a wii remote mold, we made candy wii remotes and placed them in striped fry containers from my shop. I painted a TV blue and set it on a red tv tray, to go along with the Mario theme!

I hung gold coins from green lanterns {available in the shop here} with fishing line!

We also placed candy mustaches, toadstool rings and green paper shred inside the striped fry boxes {all available in my shop}…

I love these number lollipops from the KPI shop! I placed the lollipops and polka dot napkins inside yellow chevron mini paper bags {all from my shop}…

I placed candy “fireballs” inside some clear favor boxes from my shop. The green krinkle shred is also from the shop…

Rock candy sticks and striped fry boxes available in my shop…

The “7-up” drinks were stacked to resemble a birthday cake. The green chevron milk bottles, paper straws & clear plastic paint pails are all available in my shop…

White candy melts and frosting made the perfect “mario bros.” toadstool cupcakes!
