Featured Client & Friend-Toy Story Party Theme

February 17, 2011

Kristi (of Tt’s Boutique-Tutu’s and Designs)came to me for advice on planning her son’s 3rd birthday…and right away i was loving working up ideas for her theme! 
Here’s the Toy Story Party Theme Inspiration Board that i created for her for a small fee.
 Lots of ideas, images and links to make the party planning 
process quick, easy and most of all..fun!

Through my Etsy Shop Pretty Paperie Printables, I created a banner, favor tags & a cake topper for her party. I also pointed her in the direction of other great etsy shops to contribute to her party details!



Kristi sent me a bunch of DIY details and info on how she pulled off this fabulous party 
to share with all of you!! i know..so sweet. :) enjoy getting the inside scoop.
 Thanks Kristi!! and you go mama! great job. 
excited to now be working with her in planning her daughter’s party!!

Idea board for Toy Story party – Natalie from Busy Budgeting Mama also Pretty Paperie !!!! :) 





Cow print Toy story cake idea – Beth Kruse custom creations http://bethkruse.blogspot.com/ I then used Tanner’s Buzz and Wood figurines he already had at home!  I used fondant for the rope and cow prints on the cake. 


Red 3 applique embroidered shirt – I made this with Toy Story fabric for Tanner on my embroidery machine! 


Happy Birthday Tanner in Toy Story colors- Pretty Paperie- I then used gross grain blue ribbon from Joanns to put the banner pieces on. 

Other Toy Story banner with Tanner’s name- www.etsy.com/shop/hunnyblessing
I then used twine and punched holes in each of the banner flags to hang on the fireplace. 

Round stickers used on blue cups and water bottle labels and invites – http://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignSerendipity

Alien cupcakes – done by me with a stand I purchased at Walmart

Toy Story 3 logo done in Happy Birthday Tanner for party cake– Pretty Paperie
I made the cake myself! I wanted it to go with the Toy Story 3 theme…..so I just did blue with white clouds and used Toy Story figurines I purchase at the Disney store. 

Mrs Potatoe head and Mr Potatoe head favor bags– I saw this idea somewhere and I have no idea where!  I did this all myself!  This took me the longest since I made each indiviudal piece and cut it out.  I don’t have any fancy machines that do cutting or printing!  So it was all hand done! 

Inside the favor bags- I purchased Toy Story fruit snacks (grocery story Hyvee), Toy Story tops ($1 store), Toy Story color page (family.go.com/disney), Toy story mini frisbees ($1 store)





Thank you for buzzing by Tanner’s Party tags- these were attached to the Toy Story 3 chalkboards I gave out as the guests left the party (the chalkboards were purchased from $1 store)  and the tags were done by Pretty Paperie and I used twine to attach them to the chalkboards.


Other details:
I purchased the back drop from the $1 store.  It was 3 blue plastic table cloths that I cut to fit behind the table.  I then drew and cut out white clouds and taped them on the back drop.  
I bought glow straws (to go with Buzz from Toy Story).  These were put in a blue cup on the table.  I purchased blue utensils and blue cups that I put the Toy Story stickers on from $1 store.  

I also bought Toy story plates and napkins and blow things from Walmart to help go with the theme.  

I then took an empty box and wrote “Sunnyside” and put Tanner’s Toy Story collection on top …to go with the Toy Story 3 movie! 

Tanner wore his Woody costume from halloween for his party!
