Can I hear it for my daughter’s Target “dollar section” light up board?! I love it when you can use crap from your kid’s room at a party! It looked cute lit up at the party, but you can never see that in pics. Dang.
If you don’t know anything about the game Among Us, it’s sort of like clue but with astronaut guys in outer space. They say people are “sus” for suspicious so I had to use sus in the party because everyone needs a reason to say that.
The little acrylic guy on top was actually a remote controlled light with tons of settings. I used the color strobe setting so the lights were always flashing a different color. I have a clip of it working on my her party pants Instagram, but not on here because technology hates me. You can buy these lights on Amazon for 15 dollars. Click here to shop them.
I bought the cupcake toppers here on Etsy as a printable file for just $2.90! I printed them for under two dollars from Staples using their on-line print ordering services. I picked them up same day and cut them out at home and hot glued them to toothpicks. I don’t know how many times I have said this but, hot glue is the craft medium of the craft gods. I can make anything with felt and hot glue! Bet it!
Hobby Lobby astronaut vibe plates for the party win! I scattered some Crayola star confetti on the tables that I found in the clearance aisle of Meijer. Po’ pimpin’ dem budgets.
I mean, this is what I mean by my site being “realistic Pinterest”. It’s cute, but it’s not over the top. It says, “I like parties”, but also, “I didn’t hire a balloon artist and do a 100 dollar table-scape because this is real life and a two hour party and I don’t own a Fortune 500 company”.
You can buy all of these balloons as a set on Amazon here. Mylar balloons are great and you can deflate and reinflate them to use again! I have Party City fill up the Among Us character balloons and I added a 3 dollar balloon tail that I purchased from there also. Imma save dat tail, too. I have a whole big ole’ collection of things I keep from other parties that I love reusing later.
So, we are renovating our house, and the room pictured here was supposed to be done by the party. Good thing it wasn’t because it rained all day and we needed a safe zone to make these reverse tye-die shirt aka bleaching method. What can go wrong indoors with 10 kids with straight bleach in spray bottles with little ventilation? That’s right. Nothing.
I got some cheap packs of craft stars in different sizes to go with the whole galactic theme since Among Us is set in outer space. It was a cheap and age appropriate thing to do with pre-teens so yay us.
I stretched out dollar store plastic table cloths and labeled each child’s name on a strip of tape next to each shirt. They laid out their shirt design and got to spraying. It’s such a simple activity and I think they turned out really cool!
BEFORE
AFTER
To end the party, they all played Among Us in real life. My husband secretly picked two impostors and they roamed about the house figuring out who had “died” and who must’ve been the impostor “Among Us”.
This now concludes the two part series of “parties right after a move that are not as crazy as some parties I’ve done before”. I hope you’ve enjoyed your stay here at Her Party Pants today. Travel safely.
