Bubbling Over with Fun-Themed Party Idea

My little girl just had a birthday and I loved the idea of bubbles as the theme. I originally got the idea from Create My Event and thought it was a great way to go.


Invitations:

I designed my invitations knowing that I wanted to include a picture so I set off taking several photos (several times 10). After battling with the breeze, the sun, getting my little girl to focus, I ended up with a great shot that captured what her party was all about: smiles, fun and of course, bubbles!

I also created complete address labels to match and some fun stickers that would serve as favor stickers and envelope stickers for the thank you cards.

Party Elements:

I wanted a fun atmosphere where kids and adults alike could relax and have a great time. For the kids, we set up an outdoor swimming pool, a bubble machine, a bubble sphere (you climb inside and can be pushed around---it is really fun), and had many, many bubble wands available for making small, large and crazy sized bubbles.

These little ones liked to climb into the little baby pool that I set up for the tiny ones coming to the party.

For the adults, we had a well stocked bar, plenty of food and great music playing in the background. All around the yard, I hung signs like below that incorporated bubbles, but added to the overall feeling and decor.

The sign that hung on the front door read "May your day bubble over with fun!"

The Cake:

The big moment for the party, was of course, the cake. Made to look like a bubble wand with bubbles coming out created a really great presentation (and a delicious treat for all the guests).

The Favors

After several hours playing in the pool, blowing bubbles and just enjoying the day, the kids were given these fantastic bubble wands before they went home. I found these gems at Target and tied on a small bottle of bubble solution, placed a sticker of my little girl (the same one used on the invitations) and finished it all with a bow. These worked great and the kids loved them.
