Deacon’s DIY Peppa Pig 3rd Birthday Party

My little boy absolutely loves Peppa Pig, and after he got Peppa’s house and camper van for Christmas and played with the toys every.single.day., it became obvious that Peppa would be the perfect choice for his party this year!
I always do a lot of DIY elements for my kids’ parties, but this one required pretty much 100% DIY decor because most Peppa decorations are girly. I didn’t mind at all and got straight to work as soon as I settled on the color scheme- yellow! Yellow is so bright and cheery and there is a good bit of yellow surrounding Peppa Pig, so it was perfect.
Everything turned out exactly as I hoped it would and my little boy absolutely loved it.
As guests entered we snapped a quick picture of them with the birthday boy and printed it right away for the display board. We had a photobooth with an oversized picture frame, oversized Peppa car, and pig noses. I also designed a Snapchat filter for everyone to use when they posted their pics, and family members each wore a Peppa shirt I designed and made with iron on transfers. Everyone enjoyed mingling and “pigging out” on some delicious food and treats.
We had 18 adults and 15 kids at the party. We served a variety of picnic type foods, and the kids enjoyed a few games, jumping on the trampoline, and of course, the piñata!
As the party ended, we were sure to give the littles their favors and everyone left with their picture from the beginning of the party.
We had a GREAT time. My advice would be to not let what could be a “girly” theme stop you from throwing a great “boy” party! I also advise planning ahead, having your decorations done before the day of the party, and choosing a menu that doesn’t require you to actually do any cooking during the party so that you can mingle with your guests.
 
 

Sunshine & Muddy Puddles Peppa Pig Birthday Party

My daughter loves Peppa Pig so I knew it was inevitable that’s what kind of party she would want for her 3rd birthday. Her favorite episode is called “Golden Boots” so I loosely used that episode for my planning process. They feature a mud puddle jumping competition in the episode so I thought it would be fun to incorporate that since Peppa Pig is all about jumping in mud puddles. I used a pink plastic pool filled with muddy water and the kids went to town making a splash. I set up a judges panel table for the adults and everyone walked away with a perfect 10 and homemade trophies. I planned so many fun activities to keep the kids entertained. There was hopscotch leading up to the front door, there was an activity table where they could color in their activity books. I cleared out a section of our garden and made a mud pie station so the kids could get dirty making mud pies and selling them at their little bakery. After they were filthy they took a dip in the pool to get cleaned off just in time for some cake and ice cream. It was such a special day for my daughter and all her little friends.
