A Virtual Celebration that’s Party Perfect!

We have a new way of celebrating these days!  One thing that has not changed is keeping events special for my boys’ birthdays and other celebrations.  Keeping celebrations special means thinking outside of the box and being very creative.  I am excited to share and guide you through the process of hosting a virtual party.  Oh, and did I mention our theme this year was Halloween since my son’s birthday is in October???

Ideas for hosting a magic party theme!

Ideas for hosting a magic party theme!

My son requested a magic party this year, and we came to the conclusion that going to a magic show would be the most magical!  After doing a quick google search, we found the fun Outta Control Magical Dinner Show at WonderWorks Orlando.  The dinner was provided, my house would remain clean, and entertainment would be sublime.  This party would give me much more free time than a typical Nikki party; however, I wanted to bring the WOW factor.  The details below will show you how we elevated this party and made it unique.

The Ultimate Toy Story Party

The Ultimate Toy Story Party

Ask me about my favorite party, and I’ll probably tell you it’s the one on which I’m currently working.  That being said, I believe this Toy Story Party might be in the top spot in my list of parties!  We found so many creative things you can do with the adorable Toy Story characters!  Don’t you just love the work of the imaginative creators of Pixar?  Please… don’t feel like you have to do all of these ideas (that would be crazy, right??).  We hope you take away some fun ideas you can incorporate into your own party.

How to Create Christmas Traditions That Will Amaze!

Super Mario Bros Birthday Party

Super Mario Bros Birthday Party

What theme, what theme, what theme?  When contemplating which theme to have for my son’s 8th birthday party, we thought of many different options. My son proposed Captain Underpants.  After I explained to my son that mommy goes WAY too far into a theme to have a Captain Underpants party, we ultimately decided on Mario.  Evan and his dad like to play Mario games so the theme seemed appropriate.  Evan and Daddy helped me with all the Mario questions, and when it was said and done, we picked well!

How To Plan Minion-Themed Birthday Getaway!

I love a good party, but one year, I just felt a bit tired and overwhelmed.  I’m sure that many moms can relate to this feeling, right?  You still have your creative juices flowing, but this year the kids really kept me busy.  As a family, we decided we were going to do something different for Evan’s birthday.  We packed our bags and headed to Universal for my older son, Evan!

Ultimate Guide: a Girl Birthday Party

A friend was celebrating her daughter’s 1st birthday.  Her vision was to create a garden full of cupcakes that reflected her color scheme.  She had an array of pastel colors which included pale pink, violet, and white.  She enlisted me to create flowers on top of her cupcakes.  The cupcakes and all the other details of this party were so special!

Hollywood Movie Party

For Evan’s 5th birthday, we hosted a movie screening party.  We purchased an outdoor movie screen that we placed in the backyard.  Evan’s guests were the first to view our three short movies!  Some of the kids at the party were stars in the short movies; it was only fitting these stars walked the red carpet when they arrived to our party!
