Super Mariah Party: Mission Accomplished

Yesterday was Super Mariah Party. After several long nights and days getting everything ready I was very proud with how it came out. I mean, of course, there were a good amount of fights that broke out. We are a competitive family full of soar losers and winners.

Mariah and I spent our Saturday night getting the last minute things together. I went to Staples and had a giant mustache-less poster of Mario printed up. Then later on we made mustaches out of construction paper, threw some double sided tape on the back and played Pin the Mustache on the Mario.

Mariah and I had a great time decorating the balloons. Went to Party City and ordered 6 white, 6 black and a few gold star balloons. Ghosts, bombs, Chomp-chomps galore.

The dice block was a last minute add on and I was super happy I did it. Basically just got a cardboard box, wrapped it in red wrapping paper (left over from making the giant gameboy), added some yellow construction paper and drew the numbers onto it. It was a good time chucking it around the house.

For the spaces, ultimately I decided to use felt paper for the spaces. It was 33 cents a piece but stayed in place and looked a lot better than regular paper. Plus the prices they charge for a pack of colored card stock paper was like $20 a pop, so the price was about the same in the end, and the felt paper worked out much better than paper would have.

Despite the minor complications (e.g. my siblings and I predisposition to being hot messes) I think it was a success. And also, we looked super cute!
