About this deal
We made our own “Feed the T-Rex” game. Brent free hand painted our Tyrannosaurus Rex on a large sheet of cardboard. Dinosaur balloons - I placed 4d foil balloons around the dessert table including a stegosaurus balloon, triceratops balloon, and t-rex balloon. Connor was very into hunting for the dinosaurs and the clues. Our dinosaur treasure hunt went over better than I thought. Dinosaur Party Photo Booth We have a large framed chalkboard over our coffee bar that we made so it only seems fitting to me I create a new chalkboard design for the theme of the party. For props I had a basket where guests could grab: the INSTAX camera, magnifying glass, kid binoculars, plastic safari hats, and that inflatable brachiosaurus. Dinosaur Party Decor
These safari party hats were a hit with all the guests. Most of them kept them on for the entire party. They even fit the adults. Plush dinos - we also displayed a few plush dinosaurs around the house. They are the perfect touch to bring the whole look together. We went with medium-sized ones from Ikea. Helium balloons - I inflated a large gold foil number 3 balloon, olive green balloons, and white balloons inflated with helium and secured with green balloon weights. You can pump helium balloons using a helium tank or get them filled at your local party store. After the paper dried, he ripped it into 8 ½ by 11 sized paper and we ran it through our printer and printed two invitations per piece. Then, he used a special technique to rip the paper down to the individual 5″x7″ sized invitations. This gave the invitations the rough edges.
Make sure you allow your cake to cool completely before you decorate it. You can even bake the cake the night before your dinosaur themed birthday party and cover it, then you can decorate it the next day. Carve a number three in the birthday cake
Last but not least, it’s time to add decorations to your dinosaur sheet cake. Whether you made your cake in a glass pan or you used sheets of chocolate cake, you can add some small dinosaur toys on top of the cake. Three Rex balloon - I also added this gold foil cursive three rex balloon on the wall behind the dessert table.Our jungle photo booth included a bench for guests to sit. I needed to cover up the bench so I created a foreground for the photo booth. Connor’s one request for his party was a piñata. This baby dinosaur piñata was super cute but ridiculously hard to break open. I printed the clues on parchment paper sheets, cut them out, rolled them up, and tied them up with twine so they looked like vintage scrolls.
These parties are such a fun connection for us. Connor has the best imagination and I love designing his parties to be an extension of his pretend play and to bring it to life the best I can. We staged this 5 foot t rex holding a giant green 3 balloon so it was the first thing Connor saw when he walked in the door. He was so excited when he saw this massive dinosaur. I designed the treasure hunt map and then printed it on a piece of paper that was dyed with tea like we did with the invitations.Dinosaur figurines - I decorated the dessert table with an assortment of high-quality large dinosaur figurines including: t-rex, triceratops, brachiosaurus, brontosaurus, velociraptor, ankylosaurus, and pterodactyl. For a cheaper option, you can get a bundle of large dinosaur figurines at a fraction of the price.
