Moustaches. Restaurant with Cooking. Dress Up.
What do all of these have in common?
At first, I thought absolutely nothing, nothing at all.
Since I plan kid parties for a living, my son {Greyson} takes notes all year.
He comments about all of the parties I create and at times has great constructive criticism.
He is 5 turning 30 {I mean 6}.
Usually about 6 months before his birthday we sit down and have a discussion about
his party birthday.
It is a very exciting time, my favorite in fact.
This year I was definitely challenged.
Moustaches. Restaurants with Cooking. Dress Up.
I thought long and hard about creative ways to include all of these requests.
Then one day while visiting Kindergarten on Pizza Day – it all came to me.
{Papa G’s Pizzeria: Moustaches & Mozzarella}
I would create a restaurant just for him.
After that was decided, I contacted my fabulous friend Paula of Frog Prince Paperie
to turn my son into an Italian Chef cartoon. She did an amazing job!
Papa G and I both knew we had to deliver the invitations so we worked together to design a Pizza Box, Invitation, Magnet for the Fridge, Pizza Cookie and Outfit.
I was able to incorporate the dress up request twice for this party
{just wait until you see what he is wearing for his big day}
by designing a Pizza Delivery Outfit.
I was thrilled to find checkered shorts and hat.
The fabulous Finley & Oliver was ecstatic to work on this design.
She used felt on his shirt to make it 3D
which has since inspired many a Pizza project in my studio.
Note: There was a fantastic moustache {Papa G calls them “musmashes”}
but somehow it did not turn up in the photos.
I wanted the invitation to be a big production this year so we went with a
white cardboard pizza box and embellished it with {charm}!
A special thanks to the Glitter Queen, Kristy of The Purple Pug, for the pizza box vendor.
The inside of the box had the invite details and a special place for the Pizza Magnet.
When I booked the venue, the manager handed me a magnet with their phone number
so I loved the idea of incorporating that into Papa G’s Restaurant.
The super diva of buttons, magnets and tattoos Ali of Buttonhead once again wowed me with these!
She was the vendor that created the rockin’ tattoos to match the party here.
And finally, the piece that made it all fit together…the {Pizza Cookie}.
Let me stop here and just say that Lynlee of Lynlee’s Petite Cakes is a true Rockstar.
It was love at first sight…we are both Vegas Girls and love to party.
I knew instantly that she was perfect for all the detailed work involved in Papa G’s party.
And she did not disappoint! The cookies were amazing and they tasted awesome!
She melted the fondant and glazed it to look real… soul mates I tell you.
A special thank you to everyone that helped make this an awesome experience for Greyson.
Wow!!! Love the details, presentation….everything!!! Can't wait to see the final production!!!!
Ummm. Cutest invitation delivery. Ever. I will never recover from the cuteness of that cookie. I want to marry Lynlee. And you:)
I may need to deliver myself to Vegas for this bash! LoVe.
OMG!!! Super CUTE!!! Can't wait to see the party!
Most adorable pizza delivery guys EVER! Absolutely love all the little details, Natalie. Thank you again for letting me be a part of it! And I'm in complete agreement ~ utter soul mates!!!
@Pug ~ So freakin' sweet… if there's any place where we can ALL share our love, it's Vegas!
