The badges were cut out of various colors of felt, hot glued, and attached to a pin back so they could easily be removed for washing (or, you know, for wearing the item again even after they decide they’re no longer Paw Patrol fans, haha). I cut the sleeves off of the Gymboree Dalmatian turtleneck and sewed them to the armholes of the dress, and the leggings were perfect just as they came. Then I turned to EBay and found some pieces from a vintage Gymboree line that were perfect! The red dress was a lucky find at our local children’s resale shop, so I didn’t have to make that from scratch either. I searched for some stretchy Dalmatian print fabric to use for C’s Marshall outfit, but I came up empty. I considered making the shirts from scratch, but it was actually cheaper to just buy the shirts and piece them together than it was to buy the fabric! It would have been easier (and more authentic, really) to layer a vest on top of a shirt to make them look like their favorite Paw Patrol pups, but who wants to wear two shirts when they’re sweating in a bounce house all day? Instead, for the boys, I used five very cheap T-shirts (orange, blue, and brown for Zuma and gray and green for Rocky), took them apart, and Frankensteined the pieces back together with my serger. ![]() Historically, we’ve had hot-as-blazes weather for our mid-June parties, so when I put these outfits together for the kids, I wanted to keep them light enough for them to wear comfortably. My kids stole all of the extra printed invitations and used them as toy pup pads for weeks, so it might be worth printing a couple of these just to play with!Ĭlick on the images below to view them at full resolution, then right-click to save them to your computer. It’s sized at 5″x7″, and it could easily be a single-sided invite that you print as a photo. JPG form – feel free to use it and add your own information to it with whatever editing software you have. In case any other Paw Patrol party planners can get some use out of it, here is the pup pad illustration I made in. The back used the same Pup Pad illustration as a background, and it had all of the pertinent party information. I drew Ryder’s Pup Pad in Illustrator and set the front of the invite up so that the kids’ pictures were included in the circle with the Paw Patrol pups. Whew!ĭesigning invitations is still my favorite thing, so even though a printed invite isn’t super common these days, I really wanted to make one this time around. But as the plans started to come together, I found a few areas where I could have some fun, and I kept the rest of it pretty low-key.Īnd before I get going here, I need to give a huge shout-out to my husband, my mother, and especially my father-in-law for making this post possible, since I made the rookie mistake of getting too busy with setting things up and COMPLETELY FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES! Thank goodness everyone else was on the ball and able to help out! Rocket Daddy covered the cake in great detail, and my mom and FIL both got great shots of the kids in their outfits and of the piñata. ![]() I’ll be totally honest, I wasn’t super thrilled with this choice – as much as they love Paw Patrol, I didn’t feel like it gave me very many opportunities for all the crazy DIY that I love to do for our parties. This was G’s fifth birthday and g and C’s third, and they all agreed on a Paw Patrol theme. But while it’s all still fresh in my mind, I wanted to go ahead and share our big birthday party recap for the year! I’ve got a huge backlog of fun stuff that needs to go up on the blog, but June was a heck of a busy month for this family – three birthdays, a big birthday party, Father’s Day, end-of-year MOMS Club events, ear tube surgery, preschool graduation, AND an exciting visit from the out-of-town grandparents – so bear with me, I’ll be playing catch-up for a while.
