Bella made her own invites.

Bella designed her own t-shirt to wear to the party using a blank white tee and fabric markers like these. (This would also make a great party craft.)

We saw these great angry bird balloons at Tip Junkie.com. She has a free template you can print and cut out to make your own balloons, as we did here.

Bella made a poster for the door of her room.

We kept the table simple, using bird colors for the placements. Since Bella loves candy corn I sprinkled some around the table like bird seed.

I made name cards for each guest. (After printing the name, fold the paper in three sections to make it stand up.) I used the Angry Bird font which is the “Feast on Flesh” font. I downloaded it from here. (I got the Angry Bird Birthday Party picture from The Party Animal-blog.org. There are also tons of great party ideas!)

At the end of the party we gave out party favors in Angry Bird bags. We used the same template as the Angry Bird balloons. They came out really cute so they were great décor as well.

We covered a few shoe boxes in brown paper bags for the main structure. Then we added some foam blocks and green pigs for a fun game of toss. We originally wanted to make sling shots to launch Angry Bird stuffed toys but it never happened. We figured throwing an Angry Bird would work just as well. The only downfall is you have to quickly rebuild each tower after it’s knocked down so keep some distance between the kids and the tower so they have to try a few times before they get it.

We originally planned some kind of treasure hunt but changed it to an egg hunt. It is the same concept as an Easter egg hunt and we used plastic Easter eggs. However, the object of the game is to find and gather the Angry Bird eggs before the green pigs get them. We had baskets filled with green “grass” to be filled with found eggs. Brian hid the eggs out in the backyard and the kids had a blast running around looking for them.

Dance or Game Music

The kids got a kick out of the techno Angry Bird music we had playing during the games. You can download it from Itunes.

For a quiet game, we found this Angry Bird card game at Amazon. The little boys were too young to sit and play with it but the girls had fun.

We are big Play Do fans in this house so we thought making play do angry birds would be fun. Here are two of Bella’s creations. Since we didn’t have black Play Do we used a permanent black marker for the eyes and brows.

The girls also used the Play Do to decorate their angry bird toys as DJ’s. LOL!

I saw these cute cupcakes at The Crafting Chicks.com and thought they would be perfect. They looked fairly easy and fun to make. However, instead of making them myself I thought I’d have the kids make their own. That way we had a craft-game and dessert covered at once – killing two pigs with one angry bird. 😉

Well, I hope that helps you plan out your own party! Have fun!!
