This adorable ANGRY BIRDS BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Jen Carver of Banner Events. This party looks like it was so much fun! Everything is absolutely adorable! There are so many fabulous ideas here. Some of my favorite party elements are: The angry bird drink bottles with crowns The life size angry birds game The angry bird cake pops The angry birds party background and party decor and MORE!
My son just turned 7 years old and he really wanted to have an Angry Birds Star Wars birthday party. So it was up to me to figure out how to make that happen! The first thing I worked on the invitations. I found a nice large Angry Birds Star Wars Logo graphic online and used that as a base for my invitations. I found a font that looked like the Angry Birds Font as well as a Star Wars font and used them to add text to the image. It turned out pretty awesome, don't you think? Next I worked on the party favors/goody bags to send home with his friends. Naturally with any party theme that includes Star wars, we had to make pool noodle light sabers for all his friends. I LOVE how they turned out, and they were really easy. We just cut the pool noodles in half, and taped the bottoms with chrome duct tape. Then I used black electrical tape to make all the pool noodles look like light saber handles. Each one was different, and the boys LOVED them. We also sent home a little goody bag. Luckily Angry Birds Star Wars is very popular and I found an abundance of Angry Bird Star Wars goodies at Walmart in their dollar bins. They had pens, pencils, activity packs, notebooks, you name it! We decided to send home a fun activity pack, some coloring pages, a pencil, and Angry Birds Star Wars Bag. I put the logos on the little black bags myself. I used my craft cutter to make a stencil of the logo and then painted it on with fabric paint. They turned out great! As you can see, I just used black vinyl tablecloths and paper products. The boys didn't care about that stuff anyway. I did find a really cool double-sided Angry Birds Star Wars banner to print and hang up, which all the boys thought was pretty cool. Before long we had everything ready for the party. When the day arrived, Jonah was SO excited for the party to start. He couldn't wait for his guests to arrive. As soon as the boys arrived, they each got to pick a pool noodle. As you can guess, Jedi battles immediately ensued! The good thing is that with the pool noodle light sabers, no one really gets hurt. Especially when you lay the ground rule of "No hitting above the shoulders". Games As soon as all the boys arrived, we started the games. The first game was called Jedi Lightsaber Battle. We gave each of the boys a cracker tied on a string to put around their necks. The cracker represented their life force. They had to protect their life using their lightsaber (not by covering it with their hand!) If their cracker got broken, then they "died". The last Jedi standing was declared the winner. Needless to say, the boys loved this game! It is perfect for boys this age group or older. We even ended up playing it more than once, so it was a good thing I made plenty of "cracker necklaces". After all that lightsaber dueling, the boys were a little out of breath. So we decided to play a round of Angry Bird Star Wars Bingo. This was a great game to get the boys to sit still for a minute, and they loved it! They got to look for their favorite characters on their game boards, and eat their candy markers when someone got bingo! I actually made the bingo boards myself in Photoshop. They were based on inspiration I found at an Etsy shop and it was not too hard to create them using images I found online. We played one other quick game that the boys thought was a lot of fun: Pop the Piggies. I made lots of balloons that looked like stormtrooper pigs. I drew the faces on the with marker and then added the ears. Pretty cool, huh? We divided up into two teams and each team had to run across the lawn, grab a pig, and take it back to his team and pop it. Then the next person in line got to go get a pig to pop. The first team done with their balloons won. It was really fun! After our short games, we started the main game: life-sized Angry Bird Star Wars. A friend of ours recently did an Angry Birds party and built a real sling shot. They were kind enough to let us borrow it. How cool is that? We used lots of cardboard boxes to create the sets for the boys to shoot down. They had a great time setting up the cardboard boxes. I thought about getting plush Angry Bird Star Wars characters for them to knock down, but decided they were a bit too expensive. So I just printed out images of imperial pigs online and glued them onto boxes. Honestly I don't think the boys cared that the pictures were just glued on boxes. They just LOVED putting the balls in the slingshot and letting them fly! We had so much fun stacking the boxes up and then letting the birds go! The balls had bird faces painted on them and everything. They didn't look exactly like the characters in Angry Birds Star Wars, but nobody seemed to mind at all! We had so much fun! Before long it was time for the cupcakes. I looked everywhere for cake ideas, but did not want to dish out a ton of money for fondant figures. Nor did I especially feel like making an elaborate cake myself. So here is what we ended up with. Pretty cool, huh? I found these edible cupcake toppers at a shop called Caketattoos. They are printed with edible ink on edible paper and were so easy to put on the cupcakes. I think they looked great! The boys loved them. The shop even sells images that are large enough to put on a cake. We almost went that route, but cupcakes are always good at a party! Jonah and his friends absolutely LOVED his party. It was SO much fun that the boys didn't want to leave when their parents came to get them! Now that's what I call a party!

Baron wanted an Angry Birds Birthday party, and we had a blast! Thanks to Pinterest, I was able to find a lot of fun ideas for decorations, goody bags, and games. Ohhhh, what did we ever do without Pinterest?! Anyway, I found these invites on etsy. I purchased them, approved them, and printed them all on the same day. I couldn't find big enough envelopes, so I used mailer envelopes, and put some colorful candy in with it. I made this pinata out of a balloon and paper mache. It was time consuming, but very easy. I though it turned out great! For the color scheme, I just used the colors of the birds (and pigs). Red, blue, yellow, and green. Very colorful and festive looking. On the menu was mini pizza's (english muffins, pizza sauce, mozzerella, and mini pepperoni's. Super easy, in fact, Laylah made them and I baked them), strawberries, punch, cups of dirt with worms (oreos and gummies.... because birds eat worms, right?!), and chocolate cupcakes. I had a few activities for the party. We played Pin The Tail on the Angry Bird, Find The Golden Egg, had our faces painted with angry birds, broke open the King Pig pinata, and also had a real, life-size angry birds game. These are the birds for our life-size game. We also opened gifts and ate our yummy food. He found the Golden Egg! My sister Suzanne came and helped me with the face-painting. We sang Happy Birthday to the birthday boy. Bear received some very fun gifts. I was surprised how long my pinata held up. But once someone broke a hole in it, it was history. Pin the tail on the Angry Bird! And now for the hit of the party.... life size Angry Birds! It was so much fun. Andy made the slingshot, and we used moving boxes and kickball balls with bird faces on them for the rest. The party favors were my favorite. Plush Red Angry Birds with 2 golden eggs that had angry bird tattoos inside. They were also filled up with the pinata candy. I attached a note that said, "Thanks for crashing my party!" It turned out to be such a fun party, and the boys all had a blast. And of course, the trampoline was a favorite with everyone while we waited for parents to come pick up their little angry bird boys. Happy #5 Bear!

Jay told me he wanted to invite some friends over for an Angry Birds birthday party this year. He told me this months ago and I was grateful for the warning because we would have a newborn when his birthday came around! I tried to think ahead but I knew I would have to keep it simple. And simple turned out to be perfect. We had a ton of fun and baby M slept through the whole thing--perfect! I wanted to have a fun game for the kids to play while we were waiting for the guests to arrive. I made a Sling Shot Game and it was the perfect activity and it kept everyone busy and having a great time. I had all kinds of blocks available for the kids to build structures with. They built their structure and then they placed the green pom poms in them for the piggies. I had a variety of sling shots and Angry Birds available to fling at their structures. They loved it! After the kids had fun knocking down their structures we went on a {little} Treasure Hunt --one with secret codes! The treasure they were looking for was this nest of eggs (the eggs the green pigs stole!) I filled the eggs up with Angry Birds Fruit Snacks. I prepared enough Treasure Hunt clues for each guest. But they were in a secret code. This clue took them to the playroom. I used white 3x5 cards and wrote the clues out with a white crayon so they couldn't see the clue. I numbered the clues on the other side so I would remember what order they went when I placed them. Then I gave each child a washable marker. As they went around from one clue to the next each guest had a turn to "decode" the clue by coloring their marker over the card to show what it said. So easy! And they LOVED it! One of our favorite traditions is reusable gift wrap. For each birthday I make a birthday shirt (see below for that) and I also make a gift bag that matches the theme of their birthday or goes along with something they like that year. It's fun to use the bags from the past and remember the fun years we've had and the celebrations we've had together of our special birthday boy! I happened upon some clearance Angry Birds t-shirts and made one into a bag for this year. The space bags worked perfectly with it too! I used one of my clearance shirts that I found for Jay's Birthday Shirt this year, and just added the 7 to the bottom right of the shirt. I love {little} projects like that! (You might recognize the "7" fabric from other upcycled projects this winter ;) Jay wants to wear his birthday shirt everyday. I'm not kidding. He loves it :) I happened upon some sling shots at a garage sale this summer (perfect!) but here are some other places to find them: Oriental Trading Etsy: One of our family's favorite games is "Don't Eat Pete." So I made an Angry Birds version (you can print it out below.) The kids LOVED this {little} game! And it's so easy to play and prepare! The candy in the bowl was our "bird seed" and we used it to cover up each Angry Bird on the paper. Then we went around the circle and each child had a turn being the one choosing the bird that "doesn't want to be eaten" and his neighbor went out of the room while it was being chosen. Then he came back in and took a candy off each Angry Bird until he got to the one that had been "chosen." When that happened everyone yelled, "Don't eat the bird!" and his turn was over. The goal is to get as many treats as they can--what's not to love about that kind of game ;) It was a hit! Here's a copy for you to enjoy (but not to sell.) Angry Birds Game I used this [free!!!] printable Angry Birds party kit for setting up a lot of the rest of the party. It made putting the rest together truly a {little project}. Here's what I used the Party Kit for: Jay's Party invite: sample included on left in photo above. I imported it to My Memories Suite --which I love! (use code: STMMMS60806 to save $10) Using this software it was easy to customize it. The Angry Birds font is even included in the party kit! I made cupcake toppers with toothpicks and a little glue. I {heart} cupcakes so these were perfect and simple. The colored sprinkles were enough to fancy them up! The printable birthday banner--super simple and fun! The kit comes with empty banner pieces to write the birthday boy's name in too! And the Party Favors: I found the Angry Birds activity books at Joann Fabrics in the $1 book bins. I had Angry Birds Fruit Snacks and and Angry Birds Cheese Nips in {little} baggies with the bag topper that is included in the kit. The Angry Birds Honey Grahams are also a perfect snack! Jay wanted an Angry Birds calendar and I found this one that is free to print, so I'll share that too :) And Jay colored this Angry Birds coloring page sign to hang up on the front door. It was the perfect {little} 7-year-old touch. We had a very happy (not angry) birthday boy! Happy Birthday Jay!

yesterday we held quentin's 3rd and final 5th birthday party. just about the entire world showed up, resulting in us having 14 people staying in our house on friday night. good times. this final 5th birthday party celebration was angry birds themed. got this idea on pinterest i love how Q lined up his plush angry birds like they do in the game this was still during party set-up. then things got crazy. the wind started blowing, making citronella candles and paper table coverings a bad combo. while i ran inside to look for tablecloth clips, disaster took hold. a table cloth and several balloons / balloon weights perished in the great angry bird fire of '12. i didn't actually get to see it. i'm sure that would have really helped my stress levels. not long after the accidental pig roast, a big thunderstorm came rolling through. which is totally awesome when your main party activity includes a zillion cardboard boxes and playground balls with pig faces poorly glue-sticked on to them. sigh. but we persevered, and eventually the sun came back out. decor the saggy, waterlogged level of angry birds the portion of the birthday banner that survived gotta love when toys you already have can serve as decorations my favorite balloon guarding the "eggs" the citronella candle that started the blaze quite a haul even our awesomely tacky welcome bear got in on the party caroline's healthy lunch choice of watermelon and jelly beans the youngest guest we tried to build a slingshot for the live-action game of angry birds but it was not successful but it didn't matter we just threw the birds/balls at the pigs instead baby cousin logan is totally involved maybe the small one will work? nope. baby cousin logan wants to know what all the fuss is about we played several "levels" pickle finally gets in on the action but surprisingly, ginny (the wrecking ball) never gets involved and then the beautiful part... the recycling truck will be here on wednesday to take it all away :) cake! i think he liked it! blowing out the candles and knocking over the pig tower. 5000 points! not surprisingly, he got a lot of angry birds. i foresee some really intense levels getting constructed in my living room really excited about our piggy pillow he was very excited about presents this year. even books and clothes got positive reactions. (as opposed to last year, when anything that wasn't a monster truck was immediately dissed.) millennium falcon! he really liked this grave digger card awesome legos, uncle matt! jake and the "everland" pirates purple grave digger. i rule at parenting. more birds! and bugs! Q's pinata did not have easy-pull strings like caroline's had. first, he tried punching it... then we got out the bat lilly gave it a good shot and so did gin and pickle too after a 2nd round, no real damage had been done, so daddy took over scavengers! hey! what did i miss?
I have had the most amazing March so far. The month started off with a fantastic birthday (which included some unexpected hail and a day off of work). It continued with a couple of amazing wins by the Wolfpack and the payoff from a few months of hard work which was extremely rewarding. This weekend was kicked off with more late night basketball and housecleaning before the most awesome angry birds birthday party ever. After celebrating my baby girl's birthday we got to go to a late showing of the Hunger Games which I had been eagerly waiting months to see. It was awesome. For the birthday party Jonathan built Julianna a big slingshot which the kids used to shoot tennis balls across the front yard at pyramids of shoe boxes, angry birds style. It was perfect for six year olds. We also had the angry pig pinata that the kids had a blast beating. And of course there was plenty of sugar to eat. We were really worried about the weather because it seems like we always plan for an outdoor birthday party for Jules and then the weather does not cooperate despite her birthday being March 25th. Every year of her life it has been absolutely freezing on her birthay. This year there were tornado warnings and thunderstorms. Fortunately, it rained all morning, cleared and became sunny for the party, and rained and hailed in the evening after it was all over. It couldn't have been more perfect. God is good. I can't believe my girl is six. Furthermore, I can't believe I wore maternity capris to her six year birthday party. I think it's time to go clothes shopping; whaddya think? Anyway, fabulous weekend. Fabulous March. And Spring Break is coming soon! Life is good! Happy Sunday everyone! Pin It

Life Sized Angry Birds Game: We were walking through Walmart when we saw some Angry Bird stuffed animal toys for sale. My wife and I looked at each other and said "we need to build a life sized Angry Birds Game". So, we bought some stuffed Angry Birds, some wood, various hardwa…
We were in charge of our 2 ward combined YW/YM activity this week. We decided to do Angry Birds Live! We painted balls, took lots of boxes, and used a resistance band for the sling shot. We divided into 2 groups, and had a 5 minute scripture chase. How ever many scriptures they got equalled how many birds they were allowed to shoot. The kids loved it, even though it was a little organized chaos! I made 70 angry bird cupcakes. It was serious craziness at my house...frosting everywhere! (my friend watched my 2 crazy kids and Hallie napped for most of the time...I'm soooo missing my Mallory) Our little kids wanted to play it so bad, so this morning we went to the park and let them play. Fun idea for kids. We melted at the park though. We met at 9:30 and by 10:00 we were dying from the heat. I think it was 106 at 10 this am!! Crazy crazy!!!
Hop right into planning the magical day of your dreams.
Angry Birds is a puzzle video game developed by Rovio Mobile in which players use a slingshot to launch various birds at pigs stationed on or within various structures, with the intent of destroying all the pigs.

Once Wyatt said he wanted an Angry Birds birthday party, the ideas started flowing. I had my own thoughts and ideas, and I found inspiration from the internet. Angry Birds seems to be everywhere, except not in the party supply department. So, we had to come up with some things on our own; but, since when has that ever been an issue for us? We got started yesterday as soon as we got back from soccer with the balloons. I found a printable template to make the Angry Birds from balloons over on this website. And really, it's all the decorating we needed to do! We had a great assembly line...cut, spray with adhesive, stick to balloons, tie string, and hang. It was really nice to have the extra hands of my parents and Monica and Michael here to help, and to be at the party! We loved having them here! We hung them upside down from the ceiling at different levels. It couldn't have looked more awesome, in my opinion! Since the theme was based on an actual game, I figured it would be really cool to make a life-sized Angry Birds game. I couldn't find anything to go off of from the internet, so it was kind of up to me how I wanted to do it. I thought so hard about how I wanted to do it, and finally came up with it. Eric would make a slingshot (however he wanted to), we would spray paint boxes to be the stone/wood/glass that the Angry Birds shoot into, balloons for the green pigs, and (my genius idea) to paint kickballs as the Angry Birds! Which, we would give away as the party favor! (Another genius idea by me.) So, that's what I did. I used acrylic craft paint to paint the yellow and red Angry birds. And it really didn't take too long! Only a couple of hours, total, to do them all. I was really, really happy with how they turned out. After everything was in place and cleaned up, it was time to celebrate our little man! I used photoshop to create a Wyatt Angry Birds invitation. And then had it printed to use as decoration. His little face on the red Angry Bird cracks me up. Wyatt makes the best faces! Michael and Eric set up the Angry Birds game out in the back yard. They corralled all of the children onto the deck while they set it up and "tested" it out. After the men played for a bit, I got in there and set up the boxes and threw in the pig balloons. Eric tried so hard to come up with ways on how to get the balloons to pop or explode upon the Angry Bird ball hitting them, but couldn't come up with something that was cost-effective. But it was OK, because the pigs didn't last long; they got blown away or snatched by children who wanted to play with them. In the game, the slingshot and the pile-ons (?) are positioned and lined up like this. But it gave it a narrow target. So we ended up turning the pile-ons the other way, so that we could actually hit them and knock stuff down. Oh yeah, we also got a bounce house, which all of the kids loved, of course. (It's a great way to wear them out, too!) Wyatt taking a turn launching an Angry Bird. Jackson loved, loved, loved stacking the boxes. He got so into it! It doesn't surprise me, though, because of how much he loves the game. I loved watching him build the pile-ons. He was so proud of them and had so much fun doing it! The kids loved the slingshot. And I loved how they lined up and took turns with it! And it was just as much fun for everyone to make the pile-ons. As someone at the party said, it was such a great "boy" thing to have at the party. I couldn't agree more! Singing to Wyatt. Wyatt had a blast. We all had a blast. Wyatt got a bunch of cool toys, too. I don't think there was a happier boy around. The boy is so loved. So loved by all. He just has something that draws people to him. And I don't think it's the red hair. He's such a sweet, tender, loving boy and it shows! We are so happy to have him in our lives!
