Set up for a Hunger Games Birthday Party


As most Hunger Games fans know, the premiere of the movie is this Friday. We at the Madison family household are beyond excited. My daughter introduced me to the books over a year ago and since I've read them, she's convinced my husband, my mother, her cousin and her reading teacher to read them too. Great books, but the book club discussion is not a part of this blog post.

It's about my daughter's birthday party. Her birthday is on the 26th of March and since the premiere of the movie fell so close, we decided to have a Hunger Games birthday theme. I designed the invitation a few months ago, using some modern looking arrows and a mix of old and modern fonts (I think of Hunger Games as being a bit steam punk-ish). The colors were black and white with pops of neon color. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but I really, really did!
Cupcake toppers as arrows

The Tesserae Game jar

Some of the neon colored drinks with custom.

Food tags

So food is not in place in these photos, of course, but you can get the gist of the event from our set-up. The party fun will be making hair accessories with feathers and painting nails neon. We will play a game of Tesserae Trivia too. Every girl gets her name in the jar 3 times, and adds her name every time she answers a Hunger Games trivia question correctly. At the end of the night, we'll draw a name from the jar and the winner gets a prize (not a death match). Then they will make movie snacks to take to the theater after dinner and have a sleep over when the movie is over.

The invitation is as an evite and printable invitation at Pingg and the party printables are available at my etsy store.

Mad props to Jen Clawson from Two Chicks Who Cater for letting me use and eat her yummy coconut cupcakes!

I don't know who is looking forward to it more, me or my daughter!

Are you celebrating the Hunger Games?

      Both together equal "May the odds be with you" from Star Games!!!!

  4. I love the Hunger Games! My school has a really long wait list on the second book so I am going to buy or borrow. I am actually having a summer party this theme. These are some great ideas.

  6. The most important thing to know when you are selling an account is where
    you are going to sell. A look into some of the best Star
    Wars apps to be found on i - Tunes, including games, fun
    soundboards, books, and more. You'll have to keep the phone close (on the bed or in an armband) for the app to work.

  7. Αlthοugh yоu сan't go back to any songs, you can skip songs, mark them as ones you like or dislike, and browse the names, bands, and CD the song is on of all the songs that have played already. Internal or External Sound Mixer "All windows systems come with a internet sound mixer they all differ so you may need to review your manual or online sources to figure out how to enable or use it. Even today, I go big game hunting and all this, and the more dangerous something is, the happier I am.

    flow will enhance. You can then take a hard look at the companies that come up for that particular keyword.

    or made solely for the purpose of advertising. Identify
    your niche audience and be an active member on the forums and blogs.
    Having realized that it is practically not possible to combat with SEO Next in terms of services and offerings
    at this point of time, rivals have started thinking of an easier alternative of
    being successful in their mission. Its professionals
    would do hard work to achieve the high traffic objective and they might taste success in their attempt
    but they would desist from boasting anything about
    their success. Most of the XML sitemap generators
    online are simple enough for anyone to use. Use SEM experts to recognize duplicate
    content as part of your website, and act immediately to have
    it settled. Still hanging on. Advertise by Selling Branded Products.
    It's more control than you get In many backlinks and every element of these controls allow you to link a bit more than he would be out of control. Create a general, high-level category in which you want to manage all phrases'for example 'global,' 'online,' 'channel,' and so on.

    get you into trouble. Online Advertising and SEO Marketing.

  9. What I ԁіdn't know was how I would get all of what I wanted in just six hours. While the effects of antenna polarization may be interpreted as a reduction in the quality of some radio links, some radio designers often make use of this property to tune an antenna to their needs by restricting transmission or reception to signals on a limited number of vectors. It is a more reliable choice when compared to traditional concrete or wooden barriers for several reasons.

  10. This act is recognized as "farming", whereby you create a character and promote it.
    The popularity of online multiplayer seems to have
    overshadowed the experience of playing with someone who is sitting next to you.
    Although others may not have a specific machine for
    her, but at least they have most likely computers in their homes.

  11. I didn't want to drive all the way back to Autozone to pick up a new terminal post clamp, so I figured I'd attach it and see what happened.
    Remove other nearby wireless devices, such as a cordless or cellular telephone
    and make sure the mouse is at least eight inches away from a wireless keyboard.

    Rechargeable batteries last longer than single use batteries before disposal and reduce the
    number of batteries you buy.

  19. I think that everything posted made a great deal of sense.
    But, think on this, suppose you were to write a killer headline?
    I am not suggesting your content is not solid.
    , but what if you added something that makes people want more?
    I mean "Set up for a Hunger Games Birthday Party" is a little
    vanilla. You might look at Yahoo's front page and see how they create post titles to grab viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to get people excited about everything've
    written. Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
