A Mini Golf Birthday Bash

-
My not so little D turned 8 last week. He wanted to have a mini golf birthday party. The closest mini golf place was about 30 minutes away from our place.. I worried people were not going to want to make the 30 minute plus drive. It was in the end of June so I worried about the heat.

We booked an evening time for the party.. the mini golf place called SwingTime offered us a mini golf and arcade package. They would order the food.. provide popcorn and drinks..

I sent out the invitations using Paperless Post. I have mentioned them before on the blog and this is my third time using them to send out invites and I love how seamless the process is, how cute the cards are.

As usual waiting for the RSVP's is the most watching water come to a boil type job.. but surprisingly this time people replied quickly.. but that wasn't necessarily a good thing since all the replies where regrets. Most people had immediate vacation plans :(


The favors were a golf club and ball along with a packet of wikki sticks. Have you heard of these..  H loves them.

I got cupcakes from Wegmans, I just learned they use all natural dyes in their baking.. makes me love them even more



Little golf ball rings as cupcake toppers.. another surprising fact, there is not enough party stuff out there for a golf party..

Once the kids arrived they began to play..





They kids went through the 18 holes so fast we had them go through another 18 as well.. the place thankfully had two courses. 

And then it was time for food..


and then each kid got a little cup full of coin to play at the arcade.




He was so happy.. :)

Here's a look back at some of his previous birthdays

    We went to a mini golf party that was indoor...a lot of fun! I am too don't like to host parties at places that are far for the guests, but we don't have many options nearby. Happy birthday to D!

      I was a bit surprised when we requested a mini golf party.. we have been once or twice but not that often. He's was so happy.

    Belated happy bday to D:) He's the same age as my youngest (she's turning 9 this Nov though). And I love this idea of mini golf party:) The kids looked like they had a blast!
    PS I hate doing these RSVPs though. One time, I got responses on the day of the party!! Like, wut?!?!?

    What a great party. Yeah, the nearest miniature golf is 30 minutes away from us also. The youngest went to a party there and loved the driving arcade game. I plan to take them there this summer.

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

Image
When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in the floori

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making
