I had this party eons ago, I just never got to posting it!
Today's the lucky day I reveal it! Have fun browsing these 'scary' fun ideas!
1. Monster Cupcakes
Inspired by these monster cupcakes, I had fun with different pipes and colors. To make the eye,
all you have to do is cut off the corner of a marshmallow then stick on a Junior Mint! These were super easy. For the last cupcake, I did stripes of all three colors. That was the cupcake that went on top of the cupcake tree.
2. Monster Pop-Ups (prizes/party favors)
Bought from here at $4.00/dozen! This place, Oriental Trading, has great party supplies and crafts for kids!!!
I used these Monster Pop-Ups as prizes (winners get first pick), but they are awesome as favors as well!
3. Utensil Cup
I needed a matching (purple + aqua) utensil holder. I grabbed a blue cup, and using washable Elmer's glue, I glued googly eyes all over it!
4. Monster Lollipops
I bought these here (Oriental Trading Co.). I have to say, the red suckers were a favorite!
5. Displaying the Monster Pops
I displayed them on the purple napkins surrounding the centerpiece (photo 8)
6. Googly Eyes
This was a common theme throughout the party. I organized a game (which the kids loved!) of a googly eye scavenger hunt. Before the party, I hid several large (smaller for older kids) googly eyes around the house. I hid about 5-9 googly eyes per person. Sometimes if the kids were bored or finished eating early, they would search for googly eyes. It was a great game that lasted throughout the party!
7. Monster Cupcakes
Yep, more of them!!! Yum!
8. The Centerpiece
This was probably the girliest part of the party (it was a girl party). I took purple napkins and made a giant ring of them around a cake platter that had pink ribbon (from previous tea parties) that wove in and out of the decorative edges. I placed a cupcake tree (I bought it from Taste Of Home, but I can't find the product on their site!) on top, which held all the monster cupcakes.
That was it! I also bought some monster magnets that were fun! Most of the kids arranged the pieces in completely different ways (tossing the instructions!) and made unique monsters!
