Nothing works better than a family party/baby shower combo, especially if it is a Buzz Lightyear theme that kids and adults can enjoy. For those who love science fiction and toys, this is the perfect theme for the mommy-to-be to enjoy herself without having to worry about the other kids.
Invitations would be a breeze, there’s so many to choose from and they are available wherever stationary are sold. With the popularity of the Disney animation at its peak today, worrying over what to use for props and invitations is no worry, it is fun.
Cool colors of purples, greens and whites are a perfect foil for this family/kids/baby shower party. The theme being science fiction makes the imagination run wild. Setting up colors that interchange and laser lights going on and off are sure to attract the kids as well as the neighbors who chance along the street. Battery powered laser led lights can serve as the backdrop and party souvenir and balloons with the same neo-color theme would be an excellent relief from the usual bland colors. The walls and ceilings can also be decorated with glow in the dark stars and spaceships that kids enjoy.
Tables could be covered with the same colors that reflect the science fiction atmosphere, so Buzz’s colors plus silver and gold materials can be draped over them and the walls. Choose hybrid mums with the weird neo-green colors that compliment the green of Buzz Lightyear, add a few purple flowers and some white asters to complete the centerpiece and add some of those glow in the dark stars and moons. If there are no purple flowers available, substitute with purple fruits like mangosteen, acai berries, blueberries or pomegranates. These will make the centerpiece edible and this would be fun for the kids to dismantle.
Serve foods that astronauts still eat and drink today: tang, lemonade served with pop rocks, fruit juices colored purple (grape), green (lime), fizzy white (Sprite/7Up). Finger foods that have an assortment of colors would do just as well: mini pizzas, mini quesadillas, ham and cheese sandwiches cut into quarter moons, stars and Buzz’s spaceship. How about those high-tech ice cream like soda pop ice cream for the kids and Tipsy ice cream like Silver Moon Desserts for the adults?
For games, think about a Lightyear Search in Mommy’s Black Hole Bag! Mom’s handbags are notorious for having contents that nobody would ever think to put in a bag and lug around for ages. Prepare a list with the most unusual mommy’s bag contents ever imaginable and the child who produces the strangest results will always win a price. For the grand prize, the child who is able to produce out of the bag the most unusual suggestion can win a happy prize.
Have a fun-filled and unforgettable time by having a party/baby shower that is sure to be a hit among kids and adults alike. Kids and parents are sure to love this concept as they won’t have to worry about babysitting.
