Bowling Party Fifties Style

While on a treasure hunt in Goodwill, my daughter Emily came across an old bowling trophy from 1965.  Right away I asked if she would like a bowling party for her 6th birthday, so the inspiration was born.  I went with a fifties style bowling party.  I made t-shirts that we gave out with her invite to wear to the party.

Willy Wonka Birthday

One of my most favorite things to do is create memorable birthday parties for my girls.  Every year after their party, their brains are busy planning for the next year.

Here is one of our favorites, more parties to come soon...

Emily Wonka Party

Emily loves to plan her parties after her favorite movies.  She loves the original Willy Wonka movie, so after watching it several times, and searching the Internet for ideas, we started the preparation.  My inspiration came from this amazing Willy Wonka Party. 

Fizzy Lifting Drink burping contest, Bubblegum bubble blowing contest, Veruca's Golden Egg Hunt, Charlie Bucket's Candy Toss, Violet's Blueberry Squeeze, Augustus Gloop's Chocolate Fountain were a few of the activities before they entered the Chocolate Factory.

The invitation was the chocolate bar, with the Golden Ticket inside.  The guests were so cute waving their tickets in hand when they got to the party.
