Diary of a Wimpy Kid Party

Okay folks, here are the "details" from our Diary of a Wimpy Kid party. We definitely had to put on our thinking caps for this one!  Not a lot out there (where ever there is lol) in terms of decorations or ideas on this theme.

My oldest who's now 7 absolutely loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. All of them! So it was no surprise when he selected this as the theme for his party. We kept it small and pretty simple.

Invitations

Went with the "cheese touch" for our invitation. Firm believer that the invitation sets the tone for your party. How about you? Our invitations looked like the nasty piece of cheese from the story! I decided I wanted it to look like it was in the wrapper too.

To make these we simply printed our party details on yellow card stock. We were able to fit 4 on one reg. 8.5x11 sheet. Cut each into squares and punch holes around the wording with a 1 inch circle punch and a regular hole puncher. We used a brown ink pad and a green ink pad for the yucky detail. (You can pick up colored ink pads in the dollar section at craft stores.) Then we placed them into a cellophane bag that was just the right fit and folded the top of the bag back and sewed each edge.

Tables/ Decor

This was our only decor for this party and it was a last minute thing. Seriously like 30 minutes before party time! Oh no what about decorations? I know I know! Wimpy Kid books!!! We have all five of them so they worked out perfectly. Simply tie on some balloons and you have yourself a perfect Diary of a Wimpy Kid decoration. Love it!

Activities

Since Diary of a Wimpy Kid is about a boy and his journal diary we went with the writing idea. We let our guests write on their cookies! Yeah that's fun! All you need are plain white frosted cookies. You'll want the type of frosting that hardens of course. Is it royal icing???  And some food safe markers. We found them at our local craft store but you might find them at a cake shop too. Here's a tip - have your cookies ready the day before your party or the frosting will still be soft making it a bit hard to write on.

Party Favors

We made Wimpy Kid tags and printed them on label paper to make the stickers. We filled the bags with the Wimpy Kid inspired items below.

Handmade keychains made using the tutorial by Little Blue Boo.

Wimpy Kid journals i mean diaries, personalized with each child's name. Got this idea from Seaside Interiors.

 Candy with a fun bag topper.

 We also threw in a pencil for writing in their diaries and a toy cockroach.

Fun stuff those goodie bags! I love me a good goodie bag! We had a blast!

Is anyone interested in the printables? I'm thinking of posting them for you all to snag. I have the diary labels, goodie bag labels, chocolate bag toppers and keychain art. Let me know.

• UPDATE • The printable items are now available for free download on our website! You can pick them up HERE.
