This particular boy loves Nintendo, especially Mario, so for his 9th birthday party he had a Mario themed Birthday party<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mario desktop wallpaper on Nintendo\u2019s website which was used to make invitations. On the front with the picture it said It’s a Mario Party and Josh is turning 9 won’t you join us and have a good time?”. On the back was a map to out place as well as all the party info.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was an outdoor party so for decorations there hung blue plastic tablecloths along the fence and placed cut-outs of Mario goombahs coin blocks and hills that was drawn on poster board.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Music was downloaded from the games which was copied to CD and was played in the background. When the children arrived they were given a fake moustache. They were also given red visors with the letter M painted on it (like Mario’s hat) which was really handy since it was so sunny outside.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After all the children had arrived they played a balloon pop game. There were also stuck gold plastic coins or pictures of goombas and other villains in balloons and inflated them. The children had so much fun popping the balloons! The children with the most coins won a little Mario toy that was bought.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next game was Mario Party musical “chairs”. Instead of chairs they put a picture of each character on a piece of construction paper and put them on the ground in a circle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next the children decorated their own Mario sun catchers. There was a piece of masking tape on the back that could write each children name on so we could tell them apart when the paint dried.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the cake it was covered on a sheet cake in green icing and put a Mario figurine on top. To make it look like a scene from the game then added mini marshmallows for clouds mini chocolate bars for blocks a gummy mushroom and premade cake letters that said “Joshua\u00a0009” like the score keeper on the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After cake the gifts were opened and the children got to take turns playing Mario Party 5 on two of the GameCube\u2019s or Super Mario Brothers on the NES that was set up around the house. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
