Chocolate Foil Coins – Candy Coins

Planning a Super Mario-themed Party with Chocolate Foil Coins and Other Fun Items

Planning a game-themed birthday party is a surefire way of having a unique and memorable celebration for your child. Make the party even more unforgettable by using a classic video game character that everyone knows and loves, Super Mario! With some imagination, art supplies, and a bunch of chocolate foil coins, you can get more than a 1-Up for your creativity skills.

There are lots of creative things that you can do to transform any room into the Mushroom Kingdom! Even better, these don’t have to cost too much. Some things you can consider include creating invitations shaped like Fire Flowers, Starmen, and Super Mushrooms; or getting a cake with Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi standing on top.

Other examples for fun Mario-themed decorations include making beanstalks from green crepe paper, hanging computer-printed power-ups on the ceiling, and filling homemade coin block centerpieces with chocolate foil coins.

Daughters can have a Super Mario-themed party too! Just swap Luigi or Mario with Princess Peach or Birdo! In addition, preparing a playlist with chiptune songs for the party will add more ‘oomph’ to the fun, video game world you are planning to recreate.

By doing this, you can confidently throw a party that will stand out and be talked about for weeks to come!
