Neverland Party Pics and THANKS to Natalie!

[jtanddolly]

I just threw my 3 year old a Neverland Birthday party and I thought I would post some pictures of things that I made thanks to ideas from this board. Also, I wanted to say thanks to Natalie for the wonderful Name DISigns she made for my son and a few other DISigns that I found in her shared file that I incorporated into the party!

INVITATION:

http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/jtanddolly/Pics/IMG_0923.jpg

Inside the wine bottle is a parchment scroll that says:

Come to where pirates plunder and fairies roam
A place that lost boys call home.
It’s Neverland where we'll jump and play
As we celebrate JT’s 3rd birthday.
All you need is faith and trust
And just a little pixie dust!
There will be plenty of cake to feed our faces,
Shadows to catch and Indian races.
Dress like your favorite character from Neverland
Be it Captain Hook or Peter Pan.
Otherwise, wear a nightgown or your fairy best,
Perhaps some pirates gear or an Indian headdress.
If you can make it please give us some warning
Then follow the second star to the right and straight on 'till morning.


TABLE CENTERPIECE. These are super easy to make and very inexpensive!!! If you have children and have to decorate for a banquet, prom, birthday party, etc. and need table decoration ideas and have little to no money for decorations...remember these. All you need per centerpiece is two pieces of cardstock paper folded in half and taped together and 2-4 pieces of tissue paper for the topper. The most money that you will spend is on ink. The list is endless for what you can print on these. It can be school logos, mascots, birthday characters, the child's picture, etc. For the one below...on two of the sides I put all of the wonderful things my son had done during his third year like our trip to Disney and the beach along with pictures, the third side was a "thank you poem for coming to the party" and the fourth was the song lyrics to Neverland with a picture of my son in Neverland:

FAVORS...yes I went a little overboard but as one of my friends said they were all so cute how could you choose. We had lots of games for the kids to play like "Pin the Tail on the Lost Boy", "Pirates Canon Ball Toss", "Walk the Plank", "Musical Stars", "Find the Treasure Chest" and "Feed Tick Tock (the crocodile) a Clock" and the children got a treat at each stop:

Candy Bar Wrapper:

Fun Size M&M Wrapper...with Natalie's name DISign:

Sucker Holder (Another one of Natalie's DISigns that I found a fun use for. I think this is one of her t-shirt DISign but I thought it was so cute I used it as a sucker holder. There are sooo many wonderful things on this board that can be used in lots of ways if you use your imagination!)

Crayon Box that I made to put with Pirate and Fairy Coloring Books that I found at Dollar Stores:

CUPCAKE TOPPERS:
I had several other toppers as well with Captain Hook and Peter Pan but these were the only two left when I thought to take pictures of them. Also, my cupcakes looked better when I first made them...I took these pictures two days after the celebration with what was left over from the party after they had been transported twice:

GIFT TAGS that I personalized and put on bags for each child to collect their loot in

http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/jtanddolly/Pics/IMG_0921.jpg

PICTURES - Everyone dressed like a Neverland character and I took pictures of the kids and inserted them into this picture and mailed as a "thank you" for coming to his party. Every year I try to take special pictures of each child as a thank you. Last year we had a "sports" themed party so I made trading cards with each child's image and gave to them in plastic trading card covers as a thank you.

Thanks! Would love to but I live in a little bitty town and I don't think there is a big need for a party planner. But if I do...you will have to join me with all of your graphic design work!

Please do! My sister and I made them in the middle of the night right before the party. If you have a cricket or a large flower punch...it makes it so much easier to cut out the flower (or a fun shaped image) for the center. Then use toothpicks to insert in the cupcake and "pop dots" to make the round images stand out from the flower and give it depth. If you have the time and ink...put the round images on both sides of the topper to make it look professional. A good size to make these for cupcakes is 2 1/2 inches.

Helpful Hints: I love to use cupcakes because it is so much easier and quicker to serve than cake. I try to make a small cake for the birthday boy to blow out, but I didn't get to it this year. Also, if you are going to have ice cream. I highly suggest using the small clear plastic cups (or a fun color), pre-scoop the ice cream into the cups and put them in the freezer. Then you can put the cups on a tray and bring them out to serve without having to spend 20-30 minutes scooping ice cream and cutting cake during the party. One other tip...I like to have an "ice cream bar" at parties with all the fixings to go with the cups of ice cream and the guests always seem to enjoy it. I'm always amazed how many adults put sprinkles on their ice cream. :goodvibes

[donatalie]

Everything looks Fantastic!!!! Kelly's right........you should be doing this for a living. Everything is so thoughtful and creative. The craftsmanship is top-notch which makes everything look so professional!
A friend of mine did something similar......she did the cake, the favors and face painted at parties and made a mint. This was in a small Maryland town so you never know!!!!

[wendypooh]

WOW WOW and WOW Again!!!!!!!!!!! I'm totally blown away!!! How fantastic - I love it all!!! I'm going to "borrow" some of your ideas for DS's 10th b-day in Oct. -- I love the CD idea...........

Quick question.......... on the cd - how did you get the "mirror" image on it?? That is awesome!

I may even make these as gifts for his classmates for x-mas!!!

Thanks for sharing Dolly!!!! :goodvibes

Natalie made the John Thomas with the mirror image on it for the CD...you will have to ask her how she does it. The way that I do it (there are always 20 different ways to do everything with computers...and there may be an easier way) is to copy and paste the original word as a new layer and select it using the "move" tool. Then click and drag the top middle dot down to "mirror" the image and move it under the original word. Then if you want...you can distort it by going to the "warp text" option on the tool bar, and you can fade it out. Hope that helps...but ask Natalie how she made hers or go to Youtube and type in photo shop and mirror image as I'm sure that there are several wonderful videos for how to mirror an image.

[wendypooh]

Thanks Dolly - I'll ask her.

I just love love love the CD idea........... it's awesome. I may need to call on you as well for more ideas for DS's party!!! :goodvibes

OH, I know, I wanted to ask you, did you make the sleeve for the cd? or did you buy it somewhere?

[M_I_C_K_E_Y]

Oh My goodness Dolly - INCREDIBLE!!!! Do your children know how very lucky they are to have you for a mom?! Everything looks fabulous!

[jtanddolly]

Thanks Dolly - I'll ask her.

I made the CD Holder with plain white cardstock...you can get one holder per 8.5x11 inch cardstock and you can find a blank CD Holder template to add your images to (and a bunch of other great ones...including a CD label template) at:
http://www.jersgirl.com/temps.html

I made and printed all of the favors at home including the crayon box...you can get the template for it at the website above as well.

[Sand]

Dolly! Everything looks amazing!! I too agree with Natalie and Kelly. There are plenty of people who live in itty bitty towns and are very successful starting with my mom who lives in a town you could miss if you blink. Doesn't even have a traffic light! Anyway, having a 1.5 and 3 yo, I will also permanently borrow your ideas!! Very creative, especially the suckers. Great Job!! :thumbsup2

[thmar]

So cute....:)

Woooow

[acomasdiaz]

Dolly, everything was amazing! I would love to do a crayon box as Christmas presents for my daughter's class. I saw the template but don't even know where to start. Any advice?

[jtanddolly]

Dolly, everything was amazing! I would love to do a crayon box as Christmas presents for my daughter's class. I saw the template but don't even know where to start. Any advice?

The easiest way if you don't have photoshop or aren't familiar with how to use it is to open up a word document and:
1. set the margins to .3 in the "page setup" and change the paper orientation to landscape
2. insert or copy and paste the crayon template into the word document
3. Play with the size of the crayon box before you insert the pictures and text to make sure that it will be the correct size to fit all of the crayons. You can change the crayon box size by clicking on the image then go to "format" then click on "picture" in the drop down menu then click on the "size" tab. I took the extra white space off in photoshop before pasting the image so I'm not sure what would be the correct size to make your box as it will still have some white space. Make sure you print, cut out and insert crayons in a blank trial box to determine the correct size before you waste a lot of ink on your final boxes. Try 8.51 x 7.24 inches...I can't guarantee that it will be a perfect match as I made mine in photoshop so please do a trail run with it on a blank template and insert crayons or measure it with a crayon box from the store to determine if it is the right size.
4. Then insert pictures over the crayon box template and add text boxes to write any wording you may want.

If you aren't familiar with how to do step #4:

Text Box

• First copy and paste the image you want to add a name, word or words to.
• Next make sure that your cursor is below the image that you want to insert a text box over by hitting return twice.
• Then look for the tab at the top of word that says "insert", click on it and scroll down and click on "text box".
• Next, a big box will show up on the screen that says text box...ignore this box but look for your mouse that will show up as an +. Move the +/mouse to where you want your text box to go then left click and drag the mouse to make the size box you want for the area you want the wording to go.
• Then go back up to the top of word and click on "format" and click on "text box" in the drop down menu.
• Look for the tab that says "colors and lines". In the fill section make sure the color box says "no color". In the line section make sure the color says "no line". Then the background will show through behind whatever text you type in the box and there won't be a line around the text box.
• Now you can type whatever you want inside the box by clicking inside the box and choosing font and size.
• If the box isn't the right size you can drag the corners and sides to make it the right size.

Picture
Insert the picture you want to have over the crayon template into the word document then:
1. Click on the image that you want to play with so that it is highlighted
2. Once the picture is highlighted you can change the size of the picture by dragging the corners in or out.
3. To move the image around look for the picture toolbar toward the top of your screen just below the regular tool bars. It will only pop up when you click on the picture. Then look for the image on the tool bar that looks like a dog with lines behind it called the "text wrapping" button. Click on that you can select the "square" button to move the image around. Then if you loose the lines for the crayon box play with "in front of text" button.
4. If you plan on using Disney images...a great place to get them is www.disneyclips.com as you can copy the image and the background will already be blank so you won't have to worry with a white box showing up behind the character.

Hope that helps!

If you know you are going to make these as gifts go ahead and buy the crayons at Wal-mart during the back to school sale when you can get boxes of 24 crayons for 30 cents!

[acomasdiaz]

Thank you so much, Dolly! Did you use cardstock for these?

[jtanddolly]

Thank you so much, Dolly! Did you use cardstock for these?

Yes...I used plain white cardstock from Wal-mart for everything I made.

[Macduffy]

Amazing Job! I can't believe you did ALL that work. I hope your guests were impressed!!!!
I loved your stars sucker holders and think I'll steal that idea as my daily disney treat for my boys!

What size did you make the stars? I know the originals are quite large!

[jtanddolly]

I made the sucker holders 4x4 inches and was able to fit 4 on an 8.5x11 piece of paper.

[danetter]

By any chance would you do the color box for me? Just the template. I would like to do the size for 24ct. in a 4 park theme or princess theme. I am very computer illiterate when it comes to pasting and copying especially into word doc. I never can get anything to work in word...I can print it myself but not able to do the pasting and copying stuff...

TIA, Danette

[jtanddolly]

I'm on my way out of town...but will see if I can come up with something when I return from my trip that is general that everyone might be able to use.

[Sand]

Thanks Dolly for the crayon box instructions! I meant to ask you about them. Got the template from Jersgirl.com. So print on white card stock, fold, voila? I am sorry if you included that part and I missed it.

[Tweevil]

Wow! What a great set of party stuff! Fantastic! :worship::worship:

[acomasdiaz]

Yes...I used plain white cardstock from Wal-mart for everything I made.

Thank you, Dolly! :worship: I started working on it and now I can't stop! :rotfl:

I think they're going to be great! :thumbsup2

[jtanddolly]

Thank you, Dolly! :worship: I started working on it and now I can't stop! :rotfl:

I think they're going to be great! :thumbsup2

I'm so glad...just remember to print one first to make sure that it is the correct size. I would hate for you to waste a lot of paper and ink if the dimensions aren't right.

Thanks Dolly for the crayon box instructions! I meant to ask you about them. Got the template from Jersgirl.com. So print on white card stock, fold, voila? I am sorry if you included that part and I missed it.

Yes...white card stock, trim along the edges and you will have to make a few cuts to make the flaps on the top and the bottom. I looked at a regular crayon box to see how the flaps inside the cover were cut to determine where the cuts should be made.

Then use a bone folder tool to score, crease and smooth the fold lines. Finally, use double sided tape to secure the box together on the side with the extra tab, and I also used it on the bottom flap to make sure that the crayons didn't fall out of the bottom.

[jtanddolly]

As requested...here is a "one world...four parks" crayon holder for a 24 crayon pack if you want a special "disney" crayon holder for your child. I left one side blank so that you can insert a text box and personalize for your child.

http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/jtanddolly/Party%20Favors/Crayon4Parks1World.jpg

To print: Open up a word document and set the margins to .5 in the "page setup" and make sure the paper orientation is set to landscape.

Then copy and paste the crayon box image directly from this thread. Next, check the picture size by clicking on the image then go to "format" then click on "picture" in the drop down menu then click on the "size" tab and it should be 7.24 x 8.51 inches. Before you print a bunch of these and waste ink and paper...print one and put together to make sure the size is correct by either sizing it against a 24 crayon box from the store or putting crayons in it to make sure that they fit. I don't want you to waste ink and paper if for some reason the dimensions that worked for me don't work for you.

To personalize for your child or family...here is how to insert a text box:
• First copy and paste the image you want to add a name, word or words to.
• Next make sure that your cursor is below the image that you want to insert a text box over by hitting return twice.
• Then look for the tab at the top of word that says "insert", click on it and scroll down and click on "text box".
• Next, a big box will show up on the screen that says text box...ignore this box but look for your mouse that will show up as an +. Move the +/mouse to where you want your text box to go then left click and drag the mouse to make the size box you want for the area you want the wording to go.
• Then go back up to the top of word and click on "format" and click on "text box" in the drop down menu.
• Look for the tab that says "colors and lines". In the fill section make sure the color box says "no color". In the line section make sure the color says "no line". Then the background will show through behind whatever text you type in the box and there won't be a line around the text box.
• Now you can type whatever you want inside the box by clicking inside the box and choosing font and size.
• If the box isn't the right size you can drag the corners and sides to make it the right size.

My DS2 birthday is in December and I think we will be doing a Peter Pan theme. Your party decorations are great! Where did you get your invitations? Is that from Natalie too? Do you mind sharing the games/activities that you did? I was planning on doing a Pirate theme party but this is way better and DS2 loves Peter Pan so this is perfect! Anything that you could share would be great! I would love any advice or ideas!

Great job! and thanks again for the autograph cover you did for me!

I made the invitations and most everything that you see. Natalie made the image of Peter Pan and Cpt. Hook fighting on top of the "JT" letters, the Peter Pan and Tink Stars holding the suckers and the artwork with my son's name with Cpt. Hook and Peter Pan on the CD Holder (but I did all of the wording and the image of my son in Neverland on the backside and I made the CD Holder). I did all of the DISign work for the invitations, the candy wrappers, crayon box, etc.

Send me a PM with your email address and I will send you a list of games, etc. that I did for his party.

[Dom13]

Very, very nice!! I especially love the centerpiece idea. May have to use that for our next event for the non-profit I work for.

[Cinderella Mom]

My son and daughter's birthday is in January and I am planning a Neverland party for them. It's a great party to suit both genders and they both love the movie Peter pan. We are going to Disney December 4-9th so I am hoping to get some great pictures with Peter Pan, Wendy, and Cpt. hook to use at the party. I loooove your invitation. If you have time, would you do an invitation for me? Here's a little party information..... Place: Early Years Preschool, Date: Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. Thanks so much! If you don't have time, I completely understand. Your work is amazing! :thumbsup2

Another mom asked me to make these gift tags for her little girls for their next trip to Disney. She found "tink's pixie bath dust" at Wal-mart which would make a great party favor. To save money you can purchase small containers or plastic bags to divide up the bath dust then add this tag to it for all of the little girls that attend your Neverland Party.

[Catira]

What an awesome and creative party you had! At this moment we are doing my niece's birthday party planning. She decided on Princess Jasmine...very few items with just Jasmine:headache: Next year she wants Alice in Wonderland. In our small town in S. Texas, there is a lady that makes the most creative cakes. This year she is making the dessert on the bottom cake and the top layer will be jasmine's castle. Your ideas are very unique, and I am sure there are many people that would compensate you for your designs. A little extra money always helps right. For example, my bestfriend is always doing wreaths and christmas bows for other people. Seems easy to do, but many of us are not as creative:)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are AWESOME!!

For the best party ideas EVER...go to www.birthdaypartyideas.com.

If you want personalized invitations and party favors. Start two threads on this board...one for a "Finding Nemo" invitation. You can give the party specifics or let DISigners know that you will send them a pm with the specifics.

Then start another thread requesting sucker wrapper, candy bar wrapper...what ever you are wanting to make for the party.

[bibbidibobbidiboo07]

Thanks! I'll get onto it!

[scrapah1]

Dolly,

Your ideas are absolutely amazing, I am so inspired and so excited to find someone else that loves to do so much for their kiddos birthday. I love to create new things that the kids will love and this gives me so much inspiration. My son just turned 3 in Sept. and my daughter 1 in June so now I have plenty of time to get started on their next birthday. In the meantime, this gives me tons of inspiration for our trip in April, I can't wait to suprise everyone with lots of these ideas!!!

I made the CD Holder with plain white cardstock...you can get one holder per 8.5x11 inch cardstock and you can find a blank CD Holder template to add your images to (and a bunch of other great ones...including a CD label template) at:
http://www.jersgirl.com/temps.html

I made and printed all of the favors at home including the crayon box...you can get the template for it at the website above as well.

Everything is gorgeous! I am totally into digital scrapbooking, but I have recently discovered hybrid projects like the crayon boxes, etc. The site with the templates is fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing that. I aspire to do ONE project like yours for my DS's next birthday. You went above and beyond with all this awesome stuff. What a fun party!

BTW, how did you cut the M&M wraps? Did you just use scissors? Did you use an exacto knife? Was that one from that site, too?

Thanks so much for sharing that. I aspire to do ONE project like yours for my DS's next birthday. You went above and beyond with all this awesome stuff. What a fun party!

BTW, how did you cut the M&M wraps? Did you just use scissors? Did you use an exacto knife? Was that one from that site, too?

Yes I used scissors and it was a template from www.jersgirl.com. It is called a "candy tent". I love her things. Keep looking on our forum...I'm doing a cars party this year and will post pics of all the things that I made in a few weeks after the party is over.

Thank you.

WOW and I thought I went all out at my son's birthday party. We did a Lego Theme and I hired a company to bring in 50,000 Lego's and they made all kinds of things and played for about 2 hours. I bought all my things from table decorations, to the gift bags and would have loved to have saved all that money using these ideas. Guess I know what I'll do for next year!!! Thanks so much for sharing and showing your pictures.

Wow, what company did you hire to bring in the leggos?

[alayne]

I am in Georgia. The website is Buildfun.com. The owner and his son came to our town (I rented the Park and Rec Building) and they were wonderful. Good with kids and kept them involved the whole time. I didn't have kids running all over the place or into other things. It was great!!

Does anyone know where I can get a Wendy outfit?

Does anyone know where I can get a Wendy outfit?

I purchased a Wendy costume on etsy from this seller:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/itshandmadebymelanie?ref=seller_info
here is a link to her Wendy costume...her pricing is very reasonable for a sewn costume:
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/36679868

If you send her a message through etsy, even if she isn't currently selling a wendy dress, she will set up a sell item for you.

Here is a link to a dress pattern that looks like Wendy's dress:
Here is the link: http://www.sensibility.com/pattern/main/?page_id=8
Here are pics of the dress that was made from the pattern...she used crepe:

Dolly, do you make dresses? What do you charge?

Nope...I'm crafty, but I'm not a seamstress other than a few things like curtains that you can basically straight line sew. If you notice in the post...I put, "I purchased a Wendy costume on etsy from this seller".

You are phenomenal!!! Between you and Natalie you could be major players in the kids party biz! I think I see a cupcake party in my grandkids future!

Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous ideas!

They are SO hard to find.... We had a Wendy outfit made for my DD out of one of my old light blue bridesmaid dresses (cut down and realtered). (it was the same color and a pretty flowing fabric). It turned out adorable and looked just like Wendy's dress. We used a wide blue satin ribbon around the waist that tied in the back and used a matching one for DD's pony tail as well. Just another idea. :)

I just had a Neverland Party for my twin girls who turned 3. It turned out great. We had a pirate cove, mermaid lagoon and Indian Camp. All of the supplies I used are now for sale if anyone is interested. I also have a peter pan costume and Captain Hook for adult males for sale. Email me if you are interested.

Could you post pics of the party and what you are selling, please?

[MomofThreeGirlies]

If you send me your email I can send you a few. Some reason it is not posting for me on here.
Thanks.

You are so welcome. I had a fun time putting the party together and it turned out to be a lot of fun! It is the perfect theme for boys and girls.

I didn't really post a lot of things in my 4shared that I did as most things had images of my son on them. The lollipop holders were star t-shirt designs that Donatalie (Natalie) had in her shared files. I think I have the tinkerbell box in my 4shared file and you may look through my candy file to see if there is anything Peter Pan in there but it was 2 years ago so I'm not sure what I may have shared. You can use anything in my 4shared file.

I started my own party printable company but I do not sell things with Disney images as they are trademarked.
