Phineas and Ferb

Phineas and Ferb is the theme Andrew chose for his 5th birthday party. Here is a picture of the invitations we sent out.

I spent the week after our trip getting ready for the big party. Sunday, Drew and Andrew ordered the cake from our favorite bakery/doughnut shop. Then the rest of the week I planned activities and got all the supplies. I looked online and at party stores before our vacation for Phineas and Ferb party supplies. The only place I found them said they would not be available until October! Then I found some on ebay but they were quadruple the price of regular party plates. So a friend of mine suggested making Phineas and Ferb plates using clear plates with a picture of the show attached to the bottom.

So I went to work, taping print outs of Phineas and Ferb onto the bottom of plates. Then I took a scene from a few different episodes and planned art projects around those.

Alien episode: We made alien Antenna

Jelly fish episode: We made Jelly Fish

Music episode: We made tambourines

Perry in disguise episode: We made disguise glasses


Space episode: The bounce house

Andrew's party was at 10am on Saturday, July 31. He and Drew went to get donuts about 6:30 and to pick up the cake. The cake wasn't ready so I asked Drew to get some balloons. He decided it would be best to get helium and our own balloons. He tried Walgreens first but they didn't sell them. Then he went to Walmart. You are not going to believe what he found! An entire party section for Phineas and Ferb! When he called me, I couldn't decide if I should be excited or cry. He had also drawn a Phineas and Ferb on poster board for decorations since we couldn't buy any. So he ended up getting a package of foil balloons, cake plates, napkins, and a banner.


For lunch I had pbj, pretzels, apples, carrots, and juice boxes. The cake turned out awesome and tasted great too. I think everyone had a great time. Of course I went overboard on the crafts. I should have considered that all the boys would want to do was play cars, trucks, bounce, and play on the play set outside. I did have a few takers on the crafts and I can always use the stuff to keep my kids busy on raining days. Better to be over prepared than not prepared. It was a great party with great friends and family.





He got some great gifts. A few people found Phineas and Ferb toys and books, my brother got him his first pair of soccer cleats and shin guards, he got a few Toy Story toys, Legos, flip car, dinosaur set, and a P&F shirt. Andrew has a great group of friends with wonderful parents.
