Dead Man's Party

Over the past 5 months I've been planning Roman's 5th birthday. He told me he wanted a zombie birthday party, which I was so excited about. I hit the Internet running and was quickly disappointed. Turns out not a lot of kids are requesting parties with the undead, so I had to get creative. You want it to be true to its horror roots, but tame enough for a preschool class. I will say I think I crossed the line a little. haha. Roman had no problem with that though. I started with my pinterest board, and then pretty much let Roman pick the decorations (with some guidance), because a severed body wiggling and moaning on the ground might have leaped the fine line I mentioned. Well I thought I would share some pics of how it turned out, I didn't get to grab my camera till the party was in full swing, so I didn't get a lot of pics of the fresh set-up but you'll get the idea. Hopefully if you plan on doing a kids zombie party this could help you out a little. Enjoy!!

Walking up to the door you have the yard sign and our door warning sign and boarded up windows

Inside I didn't have much, a little banner and the favors, zombie cookies (faces,feet, hands, brains) with a thank you tag!

Outside I taped up the garage door, and I had a kids craft table which is always a hit.

"Decorate your own goulish goody bag"

I had a lovely dead flower arrangement

Off to the side is brain juice (green lemonade), apple bites and zombie skin (seaweed)

body part centerpieces

There were about 25 of these guys but I didn't snap a shot till they were almost gone, marshmallow zombie faces

Brain cupcakes with cherry filling

I did fruit kabobs and the kids turkey sandwiches are cut in the shape of a hand

An eyeball piñata 

Of course face painting, it was unnaturally hot for April so my poor zombie was melting.

I dressed up too, because why wouldn't you!?

My little , little guy was a zombie hunter

So wether you want to have a halloween party or a scary birthday, its so fun and easy to do!
