The invitation.
Mario and Luigi hats I made for all his friends. My sweet friend did a Mario party for her little boy last month. We figured out this pattern together and both made hats for our boys' parties. She taught me some great tips. I love how they turned out.
Party favor coin boxes. My same friend, Brittney, made these questions marks out of vinyl to put on the boxes. Super cute huh?
The Cake!! I was so pleased with how it turned out. My friend from Illinois gave me some good tips on making fondant. It certainly wasn't perfect. But I liked it and so did Luke!If I keep using fondant, I need to invest in the smoothers I think. Plus I learned when I put the second layer on it made the first layer squish, so the the fondant wasn't as smooth. But all in all, I was happy.
Now for the games. Game 1: Yoshi egg race!

Game 2: Mario Bingo
I loved these Bingo cards I made!! The kids loved playing this too. I got a few, "This is the best party ever!" from a few of the kids. Haha, you know I ate that up! 
Game 4: Find Boo!!
What started as a balloon boo hunt and find game ended as a balloon boo fight/dance to Mario music. By far the kids favorite part...mine too. It was hilarious. Like Jake always says. You can over plan. Sometimes the things that happen spontaneously are the best. It won't keep me from planning, but I am still happy when unexpected fun breaks out!
Jake blew up a bunch of these white balloons and I drew on the faces. They turned out awesome!

This was the least favorite game for the kids. But I thought still fun. I would work it differently next time, but live and learn. I made this cool bob-omb pillow for it. Jake made a CD of mario music that we played. Luke LOVES the CD. Surprise, surprise! :)

My friend found this pattern online for me and I made it into a pillow. The kids took turns trying to knock him off his brick box with "fireballs". In theory one of the games I thought would be great, but turned out not as much fun as I thought. But at least Luke gets to keep the pillow I made.
