Scooby Doo Party

Finnegan’s fifth birthday ended up being a total blast.  He had a smile on his face from start to finish

 

Each place setting had a little sectioned plate that had a few Scooby Snack graham crackers, Scooby gummy treats, a Scooby tag with their initials and a mini cup of fruit loops, so they could make their own {edible} Scooby collar.  I will have a tutorial for you next week on how to make the collar tags!  They also had a Scooby party blower, a Scooby tattoo, Color Magic markers and Color Magic Scooby coloring pages. The green and orange bags held the party favor, a bottle of Scooby Doo bubble bath.

  

 

The Food: Finn wanted the food to be creepy. Part of what he loves is the ‘scary’ factor to the stories. We pulled out the Halloween decorations and added some of the Scooby villains to the food names. I just wanted a giant sub because Scooby and Shaggy are always eating comically large sandwiches. Here is the menu we settled on:

• The Spector Sub Sandwich, three feet long!
• San Franpsycho Fruit
• The Creeper Coleslaw
• Penguin Pasta Salad
• Charlie the Robot Chips
• Black Knight Iced Tea
• Lord Infernicus Lemonade

 

  

The Desserts:

• Goblin King Cookies which were awesome cookies in the shape of the Mystery Machine, Scooby, Scooby tags with Finn’s initials, number fives, and dog bones
• Ghost of Captain Cutler Cupcakes were mini cupcakes, the chocolate had Scooby Snacks on top, we also had strawberry with cream cheese icing
• Old Iron Face Oreos were sea salt chocolate covered Oreos and had green tinted white chocolate ‘slime’ drizzled on
• Ghost Clown gummies
• Cheese Monster cheesecake dip served with Scooby Snacks graham crackers served in bright orange dog bowls
• and of course, BIRTHDAY CAKE!

 

 

   

The Photo Booth:  We had Daphne’s hair, Shaggy’s chin, Fred’s ascot, Scooby’s collar, and Velma’s hair and glasses.
