Yo Gabba Gabba Birthday Party : 1st Year

Yo Gabba Gabba Birthday Party shared by Nikki from Sterling, Virginia: For my daughter's first birthday we are having a Yo Gabba Gabba party theme.

We are going to have a cake shaped like DJ Lance Rock's boom box. My daughter will have her own small cake. It will be iced in pink with a lighter pink flower with a yellow center. This is so it looks like Foofa, who is her favorite character on the show.

We've bought the Yo Gabba Gabba soundtrack to play during the party, as well as the Yo Gabba Gabba Birthday dvd. This dvd will be playing on the tv for part of the party.

Around the tv I will put up a decoration made of posterboard. I plan to cut the posterboard to look like the television that plays the "Super Music Friends Show" on the show.

I'm also making a sign that will look like the Yo Gabba Gabba logo, only instead of "Yo Gabba Gabba!" it will say "Yo _____ _____!" (with my daughter's name in the blanks). From the chandelier in our kitchen we will be hanging white streamers which will drape down toward the wall. This is to give the feel of the show's white background.

Our folding table will have both leaves down so that only the oblong center part is up. For this I am making a gathered silver table cloth to look like the one on the table on the show. This is where we'll have the cake until it is time to eat. We've purchased balloons, plates, plasticware, and other such party necessities in blue, pink, red, green, yellow, and orange, in the shades used on the show.

Pin the Flower on Foofa : Yo Gabba Gabba Birthday Game

We will be playing "pin the flower on the Foofa" by passing out paper flowers to all our guests, blindfolding and spinning each in turn, then sending them in the direction of a paper Foofa which will hang on the wall. We also have a cardboard Foofa standup which we have purchased.

We had planned to have her Daddy dress up like DJ Lance Rock, but the costumes are hard to find now.

For invitations we used plain pink cards, glued in a printed insert stating time and place and other details, and put a white, cut-out flower on the front with a pop-it (foam sticker that creates a 3D effect in craft/scrapbooking projects). We colored the centers of the flowers with markers.
