Papas 4th Birthday {Jake & The Neverland Pirates Party}

When I started planning Khi khi's party I already knew the perfect theme... his favorite show Jake & The Neverland Pirates. He watches Jake & The Neverland Pirates everyday like crazy, he has to wear his Jake PJ's, and he defiantly makes sure he cuddles with his plush Jake every night. For Halloween of course Khi khi wanted his costume to be Jake so we decided to have him a costume party so he could be able to wear his costume. I wanted to make sure the party was special and intimate and all about Khi khi. For the party I wanted it to be very special and sentimental, so I added pictures of Khi khi and his favorite colors everywhere. The color scheme was Red, Blue, Black, and Gold. Khi khi loves blue and red and black and gold are the normal pirate colors. The main focal point was the Candy Buffet. Khi khi has a HUGE, no not huge, a Gigantic sweet tooth and loves candy so I wanted a really large candy table with all his favorites. The look on Khi khi's face just melted my heart he was smiling ear to ear the whole party and he kept saying all day long how he loved his party. That just made my day :0)

Decorations

{The Balloons}

Balloons in the coordinating colors of the party

{Paper Chains}

I created Gold, Black, Red, and White paper chains and places them across the entire room and above the backdrop.

The Backdrop

I wanted to intimate Jake's red band and I also wanted to use his initials "M" I used pirate swords to create the M. I took a birthday banner and cut it to fit the backdrop. I also added pictures of the characters and gold coins.
