Crafty Diva: Yo Gabba Gabba Birthday Party!
My friend, Thuy recently hosted this fabulous 1st birthday party for her son, Parker! Though I am not big on character parties (or clothing for that matter! ;), she really shows that it can be done in a classy, creative fashion!
Thuy is one of the craftiest girls I know! She is the one who made Kate’s fab memo board, along with all sorts of other handmade items whenever anyone has a birthday or baby shower! Thuy also came to the rescue when my Etsy orders went crazy last month and assembled 100+ lollipop invitations for me! She’s thinking about launching her own Etsy shop now, and I can wait to see what she offers!

love this…how clever!

Too creative! I have the cake stand, THANKS TO YOU! So I wonder how she got that big circle topper that says "Happy Birthday Parker" to stay? Was it in a cupcake?
CUTE! Thanks for sharing!
P.S. I LOVE your blog! Fun stuff! -
Thanks, Jamie! I got the circle topper to stay by sandwiching a popsicle stick between two of the "Happy Birthday Parker" signs and then (I know this sounds really weird but it worked well) stuck it in a matching pile of Play dough and let it dry. Viola! Your own little sign holder! And then you can use double sided tape or that sticky dough stuff to hold it in place. Hope that helps! I'm the MacGyver of crafts… I use anything on hand to make stuff!

Thanks for the info Thuy! I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years! Too clever 🙂 Keep up the great work!

I love the Muno birthday invitations because they are simple, cute, not over the top. How did you go about making them?
-
Hi Gabriel! The Muno card was actually the birthday card I made for the birthday boy. I just searched google images for "yo gabba gabba" and found an image that would work, put him in a circle design, printed & used a circle punch to cut. I then just printed PARKER on a foldover card, and attached the circle cutout with a pop dot!

This is so my style! I am trying to pull off the same task…a Yo Gabba Gabba birthday party without the cookie cutter theme look. I love the invitations. How can I get those? Thuy, did you design these? Love them!

I spoke to soon. Looks like my answer was right there! I noticed you sell printable pdfs on your etsy account. Is this something you could set up to sell? -
Hi Jentry!
Unfortunately, I cannot use licensed characters in my products! I can create coordinating items using the bright colors/patterns but not the actual characters!
Thank you for asking,

LOVE your ideas!! so tastefully done…how did you make that ribbon on the cupcake stand??
-
Absolutely love everything about this party. I'm set to throw a Yo Gabba Gabba party next month for my 3yo. I was wondering how you printed the ribbon on the cake stand? And also how you made/or get the invites that have the 12 pictures. Please advice because I am nowhere close to being as creative as you guys. Thank you

Great job! My 19 month old LOVES YGG! She's obsessed!
This party is wonderful and SO Yo Gabba inspired, pat yourself on the back!

HI THUY I LOVE ALL YOUR IDEAS I WAS WONDERING WHERE CAN I FIND THE RIBBON THAT IS GOING AROUND EACH TIER ON THE CUPCAKE STAND? AND HOW ON EARTH DID YOU MAKE THE CUTE LITTLE NAPKIN RINGS
