Gnarly Details. Incorporating your theme into every aspect of the party not only makes for a lasting impression, but also brings a level of excitement to the event that kids won’t forget. Seeing the birthday boy marvel at all the fun details had to have been the best part of the whole day. From the sweet treats to the balloons, every detail was righteous!

parting words Cameron’s fourth birthday party oozed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed fun. A surprise visit from Leonardo made for a totally good time. Sticking to theme, pizza was the food of choice and activities and crafts, such as making their own Ninja Turtle masks and shells, kept the party goers entertained all night long.

Wicked Party Favors. Personalized t-shirts were given to guests as the ultimate party favor. Try to think of unique ways to present your parting gifts in order to continue the theme. For this epic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles party, wrapping the shirts up inside customized pizza boxes was a nobrainer.
