When I realized we would be celebrating my daughter's birthday without family and friends, I still wanted to make sure to give my daughter a fun party. I didn't want her to feel like she was lacking for anything even though she wouldn't be able to celebrate with her friends and her extended family as she normally would. However, being that we would just be celebrating at home with just me, my husband, and my son, I also didn't want to spend too much money on the party. So I had to come with a way to make her party look as grand as possible without breaking the bank. So here's my ideas for a low budget quarantined birthday party.

I recently turned 25 and decided to throw a party! Nintendo is having a big moment in both gaming and cosplay so I decided to make my party a Super Mario birthday party. Besides just dressing up and having a Mario Kart tournament, I thought it would be fun to decorate and make a themed drink or snack. I don't usually throw parties so I wanted something that wouldn't be too hard. So I headed to Pinterest, created a board of ideas, and got to work on my DIY Super Mario Birthday Party!

February is already here which means it's time for Mardi Gras! When you mention Mardi Gras, people usually think of parades, Creole food, and lots and lots of beads! If you ever go to a Mardi Gras parade, you may find yourself going home with more beads than you know what to do with. Instead of throwing away those beads, why not use them to add some festive spirit to your home or next party! We had loads of extra Mardi Gras beads in the warehouse, so I decided to try a couple DIY ideas! I sat in the living room, streamed some movies and got to work!

Traditionally, we all know that Christmas seems to be everyone's favorite holiday. It's a time to get together with family and friends, and it's an excuse to bake gingerbread cookies, drink eggnog, and give gifts. If you're anything like me, you aren't quite ready to retire your pumpkins and skeleton decorations. A Halloween/Christmas mash up themed party will get you even more in the Christmas spirit! The best way to tie the two holidays together is with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme.
