Party Recap

For Maddie’s 9th birthday, she decided she wanted a candy party. I made the invitation to look and smell like a stick of chewing gum.

For decorations, we used the balloon lollipops and made candy cane sticks out of mailing tubes and tape. We used the remaining balloons and cellophane to create giant candies, some of which were then taped to fishing line to create a garland. Giant kisses made out of foil and ribbon added to the party.

The kids played Lifesaver Pass, Pixie Stix Drop and ran the Gumball Obstacle Course. I also made a Candy Trivia Punchbox game.

The treat table was full of candy and candy-themed favors. At the end of the party, the kids filled up their goodie bags with whatever they wanted.

    A bag of coins put into the bottom of the tube kept it stable.
