Angry Bird Birthday Party - Simple ideas for a rad party

Eli wanted an Angry Bird birthday party this year and it really turned out to be a fun (read simple) theme to put together!

I made some orange ruffle wreaths for the front doors and added angry bird flare. (wreath tutorial coming soon) The wreath on the left was filled with angry birds and the one on the right piggys, of course. I cut the images from the party supply packaging and used regular tape to attach to the wreaths. Easy and FREE! (Random wreath thought: Orange is super versatile for a wreath! I pin on bright color felt flowers for summer, primary colors for back to school, yellow/brown for fall and black for Halloween.)

As kiddos arrived they could play our Angry Bird backyard game. I found rubber balls at CVS on clearance for $.49 and used my mad art skillz to draw the characters. We borrowed some big blocks from my mom’s house and had a game. The balls doubled as party favors! (tip: I used a blanket for the balls for easy clean-up and we put a board on top of a wagon to build the piggy buildings) The game was a hit and the kiddos played throughout the party

Since we started doing small kid centered parties I was able to have fun with the tables settings. I used a rectangle of red construction paper on the front of the juice box and two black paper strips to make Angry Bird eyebrows. The pom pom chandelier from our Back to School Feast was perfect for the party! (Note to self: ALWAYS make the Back to School Feast colors coordinate with Eli’s bday theme!) I also made angry eyebrows for the fruit bowls running down the center of the table. EASY and fun!

I figured the boys (and a few girls) would eat their pizza then run around like crazies and graze on the fruit for the rest of the party.

They did. 6-year-old boys are rad.

Then we played pin the tail on the Angry Bird.

Oh yeah, the rad thing about the kid only party… you can do kid games and the kids are totally into it!!! Eli loved explaining the rules of the game.

Piñata, of course. (I love piñatas!!!)

We finished the day with cake.

It was an awesome day and I’m so so so happy we are starting the kid party thing. It was fun and relaxing and all about the birthday boy.
