Alien "Brunch" Invasion Party

was featured in Spaceships and Laser Beams’ “Boy Bash on a Budget Challenge.” 

(Still giddy because I love their collection for boys!)

With this budget challenge, every participant gets to pick the Spaceships and Laser Beams collection of their choice and decide whether to do a $50 dessert table or $20 tablescape. 

I was encouraged to use what I have, borrow, and get creative!

I did the $50 Dessert table challenge and spent $43.93…woohooo!!

 I shopped for food at my favorite grocery store (Trader Joe’s), got my crafts at the Dollar Tree Store and Jo-Ann’s…and used left over party supplies from Caiden’s Airplane party. 

I wanted to do something fun and different for this challenge.

 So instead of a Dessert table…

I created a Brunch setting with pancakes, cereal, muffins, yogurt and for dessert…

inside-out, carrot cake cookies! 

I kept the table very simple in-order for me to stay within my budget…

I managed to get crafty with paper cups and I made a spaceship! 

With green paper cups, I drew faces to match Spaceships and Laser Beams’ Alien collection and added green pipes and poms for the antennas. 

 I’m not an artist…but I was impressed w/ my drawing. 🙂
