~ Mad Scientist Party ~

For my son's birthday party one year, I created this MAD SCIENTIST themed party per his request 🧪🔭🧫

I made the table runners with material from a craft store, drew out ‘lab materials’ on the backdrop, and then affixed the banner I printed out to the top.

I purchased glass beakers, test tubes, and petri dishes online at Amazon, and then filled them with colored water. Well, except for the petri dishes…they were actually gummy worms sitting in jello. 🧫🪱

I bought gumballs in green and blue, and filled different containers of varying sizes with them, chocolate bars were wrapped with colored paper printouts, gummy worms were laid out on a cookie sheet for observation, and then water bottles got a label that covered the store label to add to the theme colors. 💚💙💚

I purchased styrofoam balls of varying sizes, and painted them the same colors of blue and green, connecting them with toothpicks to create ‘Atoms’ and ‘Molecules’. 🧬 Those were placed on the dessert table with the plates and silverware. I also made the runner down the center of the table, and finished it off with mason jars wrapped in the same colored labels as the water bottles and chocolate bars, with striped straws inserted into each one!

For the cake, I made the Mad Scientist himself using half a ball cake for his head, two glass beakers, and then fondant pieces for his nose, hands, and beakers for the sides.

I made each of the kids their very own lab coats 🥼with a laminated name tag, goggles 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬👨‍🔬, a blue and white striped bow tie, and some safety glasses to take home!

We also went outside and did some science experiments with soda and mentos, and a few other projects! We had a blast!

I was pretty pleased with how it turned out, and my son seemed happy, so it was a win all around 😎 If you have any questions, please let me know!

~ Winter Aesthetic Party ~

For my daughters Sweet 16 Winter-themed birthday party, I gathered up the following supplies to add an elegant calming glow with an array of battery operated tea lights and pillar candles, each sitting on/in a beautiful glass/metal candle holder. I love mixing up different materials to create interest and give the eye resting spaces…metals and glassware, paired with pink flowers, pinecones, snowflakes, and hints of gold really brought the look together for me. 🌲🌸🕯️

For the cake we went with a simple ‘rustic’ theme, by adding buttercream frosting, before scraping most of it off. This was a hot trend back in the day for wedding cakes, and was so easy to execute…not too mention, if you’re not into super sweet cakes, this is an elegant alternative 🌸

We used a light up cake stand, that was threaded with fairy lights, paired with the topper, which was a crown that was also lit up for a peaceful touch of whimsy.

Pinecones, stems, and pink roses were scattered about for a simple, but impactful presentation…✨

This created the magical ‘winter’ aesthetic I was seeking, while also pulling in elements of pink/blush to keep the ‘sweet 16’ theme as ‘princess-esq’ as possible for a beautiful little angel in the making 💗
