Party Recap

My son loves video games so I thought a gamer party would be lots of fun! I incorporated Minecraft, Super Mario, Donkey Kong and Pac Man.
For favors, I ordered cookies in the shape of video game controllers.
I rented a video game truck that came out to the house and had 4 flat screen tv's inside with every video game available and some with 3D capability. There were also two outside tv's that were used for games such as Just Dance! This kept the kids quite entertained!
All the kids had a blast, especially my son!!

Favor tags are from 505 Design store on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/221634218/video-game-party-thank-you-tags-printed The banner was purchased from HannahBHandmade store on Etsy.

    I'm sooooo in love with your party! I want to replicate it for my twin boys 8 year old minecraft party! Where did you find the standing creeper? My one boy really wants one for his party. Also, did you have to assemble to 8x8 boxes or did DiaperCakesbyRuby ship them to you like that? And your banner is so adorable! I love this whole thing!!!

    Hi Ashley S! I bought the large foam creeper from Craigslist. It looks like it used to be sold online at ThinkGeek. You might be able to find it on eBay or Amazon. The boxes all came out together which was awesome! My son loved this party! Good luck!!
