Spiderman Party Ideas

Spiderman party ideas are great because they are super trendy and yet they never go out of style! People have love Spiderman ever since I was a little girl, which is why movie producers have chosen to make and remake the movie over and over again.  It's just such a classic favorite that it's alwasy sure to be a success!  Nobody love Spiderman more than little boys, however, and these Spiderman party ideas are aimed towards any boy who has ever dressed up in a blue spandex uniform for Halloween and wished night after night that he would get bitten by a spider and wake up with the fantastic abilities to shoot spider webs out of the palms of his hands or climb straight up building with his fingertips! All of my sons absolutely loved Spiderman--I only wish that I would have been creative enough back when they were younger to wow them with the completely decked out Spiderman party ideas that I have included for FREE on my website this week!  These Spiderman party ideas include everything that you could possibly want for a birthday party: party favors, cookie holders, cupcake holders, candy boxes, gift tags, candy bar tags, party blower tags, even napkin holders! Truly we have already spun the entire WEB of things that you could dream up for your fantasy birthday party--now all that you have to do is download, print, and party! To access these files and print them off on your home computer for FREE, just click HERE.  From there, all you have to do is cut and paste and your party is ready to go!

Roundin' Up Christmas

Was your weekend full of Christmas shopping, like me?  Between that, the cold weather and the Christmas carols playing in the background I'm feeling in the spirit. How about you?

I love this design. {It says its a printable, but I haven't found that version yet...}

This {printable} letterhead for Santa is so sweet.

I love holiday treats as gifts.

These sugar cone trees could be really cute as centerpiece for a party or dinner.

Crazy paper totally intrigues me {even if I can't quite bring myself to use it}.

Anything you are seeing that you love for Christmas? xoxo

 

Christmas Activity "Candles"

Christmas Candles has been our favorite family tradition for as long as I can remember. 

Every night in December we all gather around the kitchen table, light candles,  sing carols, read

Christmas stories, everyone says one thing they are thankful for and we end with

blowing out our candles and  opening a small gift.

I have a special "gift bag" for everyone at the table.

Like Christmas stockings, my  Christmas Candles bags are part of this tradition.

These are simple bags  drawn closed with heavy draw string tied in a bow. 

Small gifts are put in the bag. Over the years, I've learned to always have extra gifts, gift bags and candles on hand for any visitors my kids might bring home for dinner.

You can download the free instructions on how to make these Christmas Gift Bags

HERE at Parties and Patterns.

A Special Birthday Surprise

Along with the new look of Event Lucky (have you checked out the new design?), I am changing the direction slightly. I want to highlight special, thoughtful moments as much as the larger parties and events. You've probably noticed these quieter moments creeping in-- because those times can be just as memorable as that big party. It's about celebrating every day (just like the tagline says), and that means everything from announcements to gifts, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and everything in between. I love the thoughtful, creative ways that we make every day special-- and I'd love to see the ways you do that at home. So feel free to send in your submissions-- from the notes you put in your kids backpack, to his grand birthday party-- send it in!

I love the way Holly from Nothing But Bonfires celebrated her father's 60th birthday. She sent a note to friends and family (you can read ithere) asking them to send memories of her dad. They could send more than one if they wanted, it just had to be on separate pieces of paper. Here's how it looked:

I love the adorable airmail envelopes she used. They look so cute. Oh-- you want to know how he reacted? Well, these pictures tell it all.

It's safe to say he loved it.

What do you think? Have you ever done anything special for someone's birthday? xoxo Event Lucky
