Gentry's Mater Birthday

Gentry is absolutely in love with Disney movie, Cars, with Mater being his favorite character. I wanted to incorporate Cars without it being too cliche, and without simply buying all the decor. I created the invitations using a Mater image and the internet website Picnik.com. I bought fabric, scrapbook paper, and a Mater stamp and began making all my DIY decor. It was creative, one of a kind, and super cheap! Everything was a complete success!

• Desserts

  Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies, Homemade yellow cake with lemon cream cheese frosting

• Activities / Games

  It was held at Castle Park which provided tons of entertainment for everybody. The park is somewhat like a maze with various secret passageways, which was fun for adults and kiddos.

• Budget

  Including G's gifts we spent around $400.

• Party Favors

  Mater Pez Dispensers and bubbles.

• What People Ate

  The party was held at 6:30, so we wanted to provide snacks and dessert, but not have to cook an entire meal. We had various finger foods, including a Warm Blue Cheese Garlic and Bacon Dip with French Bread, Fresh cut veggies with a ranch dip, homemade chocolate chip cookies and a homemade cake.

• What People Drank

  We provided bottled wate and juice boxes (purchased from The Dollar Tree, $1/pack of 6), and soda.
