A Pokemon 8th Birthday Party

This is for an 8 year old girl's birthday, and she loves Pokemon!
It starts with Color! Pokemon are categorized into "types," water, grass, fire, electic, etc. So luckily I was able to design around some primary colors that would represent the different "types" of Pokemon.
She had plenty of Pokemon figures that could be used throughout the tables.
Below is the buffet table serving lunch. All the food was labeled according to different Pokemon characters, such as Chimchar Chips, Combee Corndogs, and Cubone Carrots. I used Pokemon trading cards for the labels.


We divided the kids into 2 teams and did a treasure hunt with a different Pokemon activity at each "clue" station. There was "Pin the tail on Picachoo," "Bagon Boulder Count," create a "Chikorita Necklace," "Evolutionary Matching Game," a maze, and Pokemon bingo. The kids loved the treasure hunt and activities, which was managable with a small group.

Yay! You were able to pull off a video game theme and satisfy your need for "pretty". Looks amazing! My son wants a party at a video arcade this year, talk about trying to make a unpretty place hot. I'll have to "borrow" some of your ideas.

I love how you took a traditionally "boy" theme and totally made it work perfectly for a girl!
One of my favorite things is how you turned the Pokemon cards into place cards! So clever!

This is so stinking cute. How much do you love the "lanterns on sticks" thing? I did a version of that for some friends a few weeks ago and wanted to take it home and stare at it all day long. So dang happy looking.

Great job as usual, my dear! How fun it must be to be your tiny human person.
