You did a fabulous job. What is the favor with the mario cart on the top? Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Where did you purchase the ? boxes? I heard you can make them but I have not found a printable pattern. I am definitely going to do the cupcake towe. Love the bandaids but that may be too pricy for me. Also, what are the favors with the mario kart on top? You are quite the craft mama!!

Hello! I must say this is an inspiration! We are planning a Wii Mario Kart party for my son’s 7th birthday, and I was so glad that you shared this. Thank you. I was trying to find the hard rock candy sticks like the ones featured here, do you remember where you purchased them?

Thank you again!

Jennifer: She made the cupcake toppers. She reduced to scale pictures of the characters that she found online. Print them on a white cardboard and use a circular punch to cut them. Circular punches are available in the scrapbooking section of art supplies store. Martha Stewart made one.

She mounted the pics onto a colored card stock that I punched out too using puffy sticky dots. Look at Pop Dots, or something like that, to simulate a 3D effect. A glue, like Alene’s Tacky Glue, works well to mount the circles to popsicle sticks.

Jennifer: I think that we made the banner. You can buy one and customize it. She reused the same red, blue and green gift wraps that she used for the cupcake towers.

She bought the Mario figure and other figurines at http://www.toywiz.com/sumabrbcopvc.html. Or you can look at a local specialized video games store or figures shops. Super Mario bros items are easy to find.

This party is adorable!!! I am planning a Mario party for my sons’s 5th birthday and was wondering if you know where she got the cup cake toppers and the banner.
Thanks so much!

The coin candy boxes were store-bought.

I’m doing a Super Mario Bros party for my son and would love to know if the coin boxes were made or store bought. Thanks!

This is fantastic! I love all the colour, it just really pops. Well done Danielle!

This is *one* of the reasons I can’t wait to have kidlets, it’s a really good excuse to have awesome, fun, colourful parties =)

Hi,

I’m so excited to see this featured on your website. I had so much fun putting together this party. I think the adults were wowed by it more than the kids, but it was still a blast to do. For my son’s 2nd birthday, I’m already planning on putting together a party theme around The Legend of Zelda.

Thanks again for featuring my party!

Very creative! In 1993-94 my son was hooked to Super Mario World. I could have used this idea back then.
