It's a Wii Themed Party!


Amy Wilges came up with this creative idea for her sons birthday. The Wii themed party started off with guests arriving and getting their mii badges to wear during the party. Clever idea!

Hung around the room were 8 x 10" mii images of all the guests.

Goodie bags: Amy found some Wii controllers that were candy dispensers and cute medal awards that go around your neck. Gold covered chocolate coins and blue neon glow sticks also filled the goodie bags. The guests also received water bottles with labels of the birthday boys mii on it.

Even more Wii party ideas...

Jo-Ann from Pumpkin Petunia had some wonderful ideas for her sons Wii party. Yes, these Wiimotes are made of paper! Jo-Ann describes making these, "When the tournament concluded and the winner was crowned, the guests left with their own Wiimote filled with treats. The wiimotes were made from paper using a pattern found here {via mumbojumbo}. I printed the pattern on 100 lb. cardstock and they were very sturdy, but did take some extra time to fold. Be prepared to spend some time cutting and folding, about 4 minutes per. " Found via Tipjunkie.




Jo-Ann said, "Hanging on the door leading to the play room (the venue for the tournament) was a chart containing cards for each person's Mii. This was used to create brackets for the tournament. The bracket cards were held in a classroom chart purchased in Target's dollar spot. (dear Target, how did I ever live without you?)."
