DIY Firefly Party
How to Plan your own DIY Firefly Party
Here is how I made my own DIY Firefly Party. A lot of work went into this DIY Firefly Party for all my Firefly fans (Big and small). This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.
Decorations
Backdrop
Firefly is one of the most fun themes I have gotten to do! I had the pleasure of re-watching all 14 of the Firefly episodes to help me channel my inner Serenity. So I channeled those scenes in my background set up. To start I used the space tapestry from my doctor who party to set the scene for my DIY Firefly Party. I draped a copper curtain over half the space background to give the look of steampunk space. Then layered on my gold Star Banners, also from my Doctor Who Party (Wish) to bring in more space and whimsy. I finished off everything with a shiny Firefly Baby Shower Banner and large Serenity Cutout (Available upon request). It was simple but effective in giving off the overall ascetic I was looking for.
Party Table
Working from the Bottom up my DIY Firefly Party table scape was small but effective and SO EASY! anyone could DIY this is a matter of Minutes. I used a copper window curtain to make a table cloth. In front of my display I placed my Chinese parasol to add a bit more whimsy. I topped the table off with a sequins gold table runner that I borrowed from my Doctor Who Party.
Table Decorations
My table decor is a fun collection of Firefly items that I either borrowed or had on hand. Everything was printable or had a purpose. From the right, lets start with my Serenity Cut out. I made it as large as I could by printing from a office supply store on 11 x 17 cardstock. Serenity cut out was very easy and cost-effective, considering it only cost me around $1 in extra supplies. From Left to right, I placed red flowers that I had on hand next to my metal food tray, containing strawberries and chicken eggrolls. YUM! Next I placed my DIY Jayne printable yarn party hats and printable foodstuffs bar.
Moving on to the show stoppers. The Firefly cupcakes (Publix). The cupcakes turned out so fun and they brought the set up together! I must say that they really made my firefly Cupcake Liners and Cupcake topper really stand out.
My Centerpiece; THE CAKE!
The cake from Love Lorena Designs, is a masterpiece! The adorable outfit design of Malcom Reynolds burgundy and browncoat costume really tied the table together.

DIY Favors & Gifts:
Favors:
For Firefly Baby Showers I recommend my Firefly Milestone Stickers to be the perfect gift that keeps on giving. If your planning on taking monthly photos of your baby brown coat in training I recommend these Fandom Stickers to help you show the progress your Big Hero in the making.
Firefly Fashion
Fashion is always my favorite Subject. Nerd fandoms make it so much fun to dress up. What makes it better is when there is a Fandom event where you can go to show off your Nerd Fashion.
