The Invites:
The desserts: "Yellow submarines"...and George, John, Ringo and Paul....(our first attempt at cake balls. They were good, but the people were a little hard to make!)
The smiley face ones were much easier! We also had "strawberry fields forever" strawberry shortcake, "For the Benefit of Mr. Sprite, Sgt Dr. Pepper and Beatle Juice" (okay, that one's not from a song but I couldn't resist!) And the chocolate cake design is based off of the Sgt Pepper album cover.
"Words of Love" - guests wrote birthday messages.
"I've Got A Feeling" "I Should Have Known Better" -tag on the card/gift bowl (which I made by melting an old record) And the "I Love Paul" (my dad's real name) and "I {heart} Barry" buttons (forgot to get a picture) that we wore...
For the table centerpieces we used old records and I made new album stickers for them that were the Beatles Greatest Hits. I even put the Beatles autographs on them. I also rented books about the Beatles from the library. We had "Lucy in the Sky with Diamond [rings]" and "I want to hold your hand" stretchy hands on the tables too.
Photo Booths have been pretty popular lately and I couldn't pass up the chance to do one Beatles style. I made the mustaches from felt and dowel rods and bought the John Lennon glasses at Party City. Then I made signs with the names of girls from some of the Beatles songs...Eleanor Rigby, Lucy, Dizzy Miss Lizzy) I wasn't sure if people would do it or not, but everyone did! I was really surprised. I think only a few people balked at the idea, but almost everyone had their picture taken. (We had about 60 guests).
The entertainment for the evening was Beatles Rock Band on the Wii. Everyone got into it - especially Dad - he knew ALL the songs! Hudson got into it as well!
Hudson loved wearing the glasses and playing with the mustaches. He also loved the beads, the diamond rings, the stretchy hands, the cake, and the cake pops (both of them!) He had a wonderful time at the party. The whole way home he kept saying "I'm so lucky I got to bring ____ home" and listed off the rings, the glasses, the mustaches, the balloons, etc.... He's still playing with them all!
Miss Ashley was "Baby's in Black" (and Carver just wants us to stop taking so many pictures!)
and Tate didn't get to go the party but he didn't want to miss out on the fun:
Playing the Wii
And you have to watch the video to see Miss Callista doing her thing! The girl loves music and dancing!
