First lets start start with the paper goods!
We created a banner- RAWR means Happy Birthday in Dinosaur- RAWR Buzzy! Here are some unclose pictures of it.
We had birthday dinosaur party hats with spikes down the back for all the guests. These were a huge hit! They were so protective of them. Some didn't want to wear theirs on the dinosaur egg hunt (tutorial coming in a couple days) for fear of ruining them. They wore them all day in the house and wouldn't take them off.
We create 5 fun, unique dinosaur prints that are repeated throughout the collection, starting with our printable dinosaur party hats.
These are the favors we hand out to each of the guests as they were leaving. Cherry lava balls topped with our favor toppers.
Now for our creative desserts that were included in our dessert bar.
First, Molten Lava Volcano Cakes!
Top your cupcakes with mini dinosaur toys. I found mine in a vending machine outside my local grocery store. The large dinosaurs are Toy Story dinosaur toys.
Hot Lava Trifle
Layer crushed Oreos (for dirt- I used the Oreos with chocolate filling so there was no contrast between the cookie and filling.
gummy worms with a little patch of "dinosaur eggs" round chocolate rock candies
more crushed Oreos
Top with cherry balls for the hot lava
We had little bags of chocolate dinosaur eggs topped with our favor toppers- "If history repeats it's self, I'm so getting a dinosaur!"

ReplyDeleteHi Amie! You can purchase the full printable collection in my Etsy shop etsy.com/shop/wantsandwishesdesign. I have a very fast turn around- guaranteed within 24 hours, but usually within a couple hours.
ReplyDeleteHow CUTE i love this! Thanks for the post
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this party! So much creativity and close attention to details. I especially love the message in the goodie bags..."If history repeats itself, I'm so getting a dinosaur" - Made me laugh! Everything is just so cute, cute, CUTE!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, amazing! I had to share this on my blog. Great creativity!!!
ReplyDeleteMy son loves this and wants it for his next birthday. Where did you get the dinosaur egg candy?
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, I got the dinosaur egg candy at a specialty candy store called Blickenstaff's in Utah. They can probably ship to you if not I can buy some for you and ship it to you. I think they were called chocolate rocks, but just be careful when ordering because there are some "chocolate rocks" that are jagged edges so make sure you get the correct ones- they are all circles/round.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely DINOMITE! Adore this! The hats completely kill me! (And ps, i think we're from the same town! SC?)
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing party, so cute! I'm a new follower, can't wait to see what other ideas you have! :-)

ReplyDeleteThese are very cute!! Perhaps you should modify the grammar a bit though... It's self should be "itself". Just thought you should be aware. :)
ReplyDeleteI have fixed that typo. I noticed it after I took the pictures! The sign you get has it correct now:)
