Avery's b-boy spiderman party

Whoa my baby boy is 4! I still can't believe how big he his. He's talking so much now. This was the 1st year that he was very clear on what he wanted for his birthday theme. Spiderman! 

Me being me-- I couldn't just do any old spiderman party. He's really into dancing right now. He tries to breakdance and do some hip hop moves--- tho it looks more like interpretive dancing. Either way I love it! It's the cutest! 

So I really wanted to tie his new found love for dancing in with spiderman. I'm also really into monochrome modern parties right now. Once again-- we all know I love the color black #mymoodisblack ;) 

The big goal was to create something he would love, but also something our wallet would love. 

Here's how I pulled it off: 

I spoke to my gal pal Tamika from Little Magic Prints about my ideas. She created these custom B-boy spiderman prints for me. I am obsessed with the prints! So obsessed that they're hanging Avery's bed. 

I used the awesome print that Tamika created, and made a quick banner. 

I knew from last years joker party, I really wanted to get some more amazing sugar cookies from Comfy Sweets. That was going to be my wow factor instead of a cake. 

So this year I went with a stack of donuts instead of a cake-- because 1 Avery loves donuts & so do all of the kids. 2 I don't know why but every party I always end up throwing away half of the cake-- and I HATE wasting food. 

We had a little spidey photoshoot of Avery with his boombox pinata a few days before. I edited them all black & white, then I created a poster photo collage on Canva. I got it printed as an engineer print at Staples.  

I also used Staples to print a banner of this graffiti wall in New York. 

We used some cardboard to set the B-boy scene. 

For the entertainment: the kids dance battled playing Just Dance 2017 on the PS4. But the pinata was, of course, the biggest hit! ;) 

That's it! I hope you loved this party as much as we did!

It's really easy to get all excited about decorating a party, next thing you know you went way over budget! Don't be afraid to keep your decorations simple and minimal. It can still look great & I'm sure your guest of honor will still love it!
