Come RAWR With Us

I did a dinosaur themed party for my sons 5th birthday, he’s so into dinosaurs, it’s crazy! I’m a total DIYer, so I made everything, the invitations, cake, food (with the exception of the subs), decorations, party favors, photo booth, etc! It was by far my best party to date! We even had a realistic dinosaur named Mack visit, DINO CREW Entertainment is fantastic!
When the kids arrived, they signed the birthday book, then received their pith hats, and Paleontologist badges. They then had 6 activities they could do (feed the t-Rex, hot lava slime, fossil makers, dinosaur egg hunt, dig site, and dinosaur photo booth).
Everyone ate, and then the big surprise came with Mack the dinosaur!
I also made each child a paper mache dinosaur egg filled with their party favors (slingshot dinosaurs, dino sunglasses, bubbles, dinosaur stickers, and dinosaur shaped fruit snacks), the 3 older girls received nail polish, bubbles, and Dino fruit snacks, and the under 2 kiddos received dinosaur bath toys, and bubbles).

My amazing friend Elizabeth Stanley took all of the fabulous photos! Elizabeth Stanley Photography
