Super Mario Birthday Party
This year, Jacob decided he wanted to go all out for his birthday and we certainly did. He invited his entire class and the whole soccer team. We thought maybe half would RSVP yes, but he ended up with about 30 kids at our house and in a bouncehouse. It was absolute bananas and they all had a blast. Here’s what we did to plan his Super Mario birthday party…
The Invitations
Dimensions: 5.5” x 4.25” postcard
Access the Canva Template using this link.
Update the time, date, address, and RSVP contact information.
In another tab, open the Super Mario font generator, type your child’s name in the text box, and click the generate button.
Once the image appears (below the box), right-click on the Mario font name and click copy.
Return to the Canva tab and paste the font image onto the invitation. Resize and place it where is looks best.
When you are ready to print/downloads your invitations, click on the “Share” box in the top right-hand corner.
Scroll down to the “Download” option, scroll down again and click on the purple “Download” button.
Open the PNG file from your downloads and either print it or attach it to your electronic invitation.
The Decorations

Cricut Design Space project link to add vinyl eyes
From Amazon:
For this design, I began by placing the brick, pipes, and rainbow layer first. Then, I added the coins and clouds that were not visible in front of the 9. After adhering the 9, I placed the remaining coins and cube at the top. Mario and Luigi were next, followed by the Super Jacob text and finally, the star and mushroom.
The last step to creating the cake topper is adding the lollipop sticks by hot gluing them to the back of the black cardstock. It is important to make sure these are glued on straight and align with the lowest portions of the design. This way the sticks aren’t visible and the cardstock does not need to go all the way into the icing.
The Favors
Amazon
Individual bags of chips
Bonus: Class Cupcakes
Then, I uploaded the individual Canva images into Cricut Design Space using the complex option and then saving each as the Print then Cut file. I added each image to the Canvas and resized them to 2.75”. Finally, I used the offset setting to add a black cardstock background.
