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.

Will's Basketball & Rap 16th Birthday Party
Good morning! I have yet another party theme that was also for Will, but this one was from 2024. The theme was Basketball (specifically the Lakers team, focused on Steph Curry) combined with Hip-Hop Rap. For the record, I do not endorse my brother's music. I painted the shoe and jersey on a poster, hand-drew the Steph Curry poster design, made the crowns out of cardstock from Walmart, did the words by hand, printed the basketball from Google, and made the '16' numbers from recycled cardboard. I decorated the cake which came from Walmart or Ingles (though my frosting job looks sloppy and did not come out how I planned). The chain necklace favors were made from a long bulk chain at Walmart that I separated into multiple chains with scissors.
Will's Nike/Kicks Themed Birthday Party
Hello, today I'd also like to share Will's birthday party theme from last year, which was shoes/Nike/kicks. I used a large Sharpie to create the "Will is 17. Just Celebrate It." poster. The balloons came from the variety packs at Dollar Tree. I printed the shoe poster from Google and taped it to a (broken) letterboard. I bought the favor bags from Dollar Tree, printed shoes, and taped them on. They contained socks I thought each guest would like (also from Dollar Tree). I used free online printables to create the mini shoe boxes with candy. My grandparents made the cake. I used a mirror and basket I had on hand to create the cake stand.
