I got to decorate a Busytown themed birthday party this past weekend inspired by the book Busytown by Richard Scarry. I realized pretty quickly that Busytown decor was hard to find, but I like a challenge, and decided to recreate my own version of Busytown! To create the essence of a town I used houses ranging in different sizes to create depth and dimension and painted them shades of red, blue, and yellow coinciding with the books’ cover. I used green moss as the table cover to create the effect of grass. The Busytown characters were spread throughout the town along with the miniature plants and other items that really added some fun attributes to the town. The red and white backdrop was a great contrast to the houses, along with the yellow, red, and aqua balloons. Check out some of the details below!
Birthday Parties
Food Truck Birthday Party
This party’s theme centered on the food – after all, it is a huge part of any event! Since the guest of honor loves pizza, we went with a pizzeria theme and hired a pizza food truck to cater the event, which guests loved! The red and white gingham table cloths added to the theme of the outdoor party, and we added red lanterns to the string lights to create height and carry the theme throughout. Dessert was a create-your-own sundae bar, which is a fun and interactive way to provide dessert to guests. They had so much fun making their own ice cream creation.
Cheers!
