A few months ago, my friend Kristin Mika<\/a> asked me to help her coordinate her son Jackson’s 4th birthday party. \u00a0The theme: Firetrucks. \u00a0I was thrilled to help as I don’t get to plan many boy’s parties.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kristin had a good idea in her head as to what she wanted, just needed some help editing. \u00a0We did things like design tags, pick fonts, fabrics and talked through the flow of the party and where everything should go. \u00a0I also helped with her with some ideas to keep the kiddos entertained like “Pin the Tail on the Dalmation” , “Hot Dalmation” (like Hot Potato.)<\/span><\/div>\n


\n<\/span>
\nHere are some of the concepts that we discussed:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1.) “Pin the tail on the Dalmation” game. (Image by HPD<\/a>.)<\/div>\n
2.)\u00a0Fire hydrant cups.<\/a><\/div>\n
3.)\u00a0Firefighter hats-<\/a>\u00a0 I would rip off the stickers, or try to get them plain and put your custom stickers on them.<\/div>\n
4.)\u00a0Large dalmatian<\/a>\u00a0to have at the party.<\/div>\n
5.) Custom Popcorn Cups (Cups from Michael’s<\/a>, Stickers HPD<\/a>)<\/div>\n
6.) Red seersucker tablecloths<\/a>.<\/div>\n
7.)\u00a0Firefighter badges<\/a>.<\/div>\n
8.)Fondant cupcake toppers<\/a><\/div>\n
9.)\u00a0Custom cookies and tags wrapped with \u00a0dalmatian<\/a>\u00a0or red grossgrain<\/a> ribbon<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
10.) Custom candy tags and cupcake toppers with images from\u00a0HPD<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another friend, Kristy Patterson<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0(I know, it gets confusing Krista, Kristin and Kristy..) designed the candy table. \u00a0We designed the layout and the tags for the candy. \u00a0While I was not there the day of the party, it was a great success! \u00a0Here are the final results, pictures taken by James Woo<\/a>:<\/div>\n

I hope this was inspiration for those of you who may be in the market for a Firetruck Party. \u00a0I had so much fun with Kristin and Kristy planning the event. \u00a0If you need customized invites, labels or gifts, call Kristin<\/a>… if you are looking for an amazing candy table, Kristy<\/a> is your girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
