"Fiddler on the Roof" Cast Favors Idea

 Happy Memorial Day! 

I am so thankful to live in a free country and for everyone who sacrificed for our freedom. 

Today's post is really quick, but I would like to share a cast gift my brother and I gave to our Fiddler on the Roof cast members. The violin keychains were bought in bulk on Amazon. I got the golden ribbons at a thrift store a long time ago (two huge spools for around $1) and finally had a use for them. Lastly, I made the tags on Canva, which I planned to add below but I can not find the file anywhere. They read "Thank you for being a key part of this cast. You are instrumental to this show! Break a leg today!" I hope somebody finds this cast gift idea helpful.  

I wish everyone a great rest of their Memorial Day weekend!

Jacob's Violinist & Orchestral Composer Birthday Party, Part 2

 Hello! Here is Jacob's second Violinist & Orchestral Composer-themed birthday party. This party used the almost all the same decorations and supplies described in the previous post, just rearranged for a different location. The favor tag printable can be found in the previous post. 

Thank you for visiting!

Jacob's Violinist & Orchestral Composer Birthday Party Part 1

 Hello, today I present yet another composer themed birthday party, but specifically violinist-themed. This was my brother's birthday party last year. The metallic balloons come in $1 packs at Walmart, while the rest came from Dollar Tree. I outlined the letters on the poster, painted them with gold metallic paint (or used metallic markers which would have been ideal, but I think I was out), and outlined them in pen or permanent marker. I found composer bust images online, put them on a Canva document and tried to match the colors, edited a photo of my brother (who had dressed up as Mozart the year before) to look like stone, printed the images and glued them on. I could not find (affordable) music-themed foods my brother would like, so I used marshmallows and Whoppers to at least kind of look like piano colors in the favor bags. I created a printable on Canva that read "Thank you for making Jacob's party grand!" with a grand piano graphic. Everything else was on hand. The favor printable is included below, ready to customize with a different name should anyone be interested in using it. 

Part 2 of this party is coming soon. I hope you found this helpful and enjoyed!

Jacob's "Symphony No. 23" Composer Red Carpet Birthday Party

 

Hello, I hope this post finds everyone safe and ready for the bad weather coming! Today I would like to share my brother's orchestra composer-themed birthday party from two years ago. I used an old thrift store music book, composer printouts and a Canva document to decorate the peg board. The favors are $1 nutcrackers from Dollar General (inspired by Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, of course). The banner was made from composer heads printed out and taped to yarn. 

I hope you enjoyed! Thank you for visiting, I wish everyone with ice storms headed their way warmth and safety!

Music-Themed New Year's Party (2024)

 At last, well over a year late, here is a unique New Year's Eve/New Year's Day party theme from when it became 2024. I cannot take credit for this party as it was a collaborative effort put together by two of my best friends and myself. They did most of the music symbols 2024 poster, drew on the balloons, made music paper cut artwork, and some of the signs. We all love music with a passion, so it seemed a fitting theme to start the year with. I hope you enjoy the music party ideas shown below!

"Bandtastic" Birthday Party

 Hello! Today I'd like to share a birthday party I did for my grandfather back in March or April themed around bands because I was struggling to come up with themes but knew he liked some bands. We used to play a band game, which kind of gave me the idea. I hand-drew the poster and banner, cut out guitars and instruments to decorate, and used musical-themed objects I found around my home for display. I went for a modern, neutral palette featuring brown, black, white and gold with loose contour-type sketches on the banner and poster for an artsy look.

Thanks for stopping by!
