How to DIY your Over the Garden Wall Party

How to Plan your own DIY Over the Garden Wall Party

Here is how I made my own DIY Over the Garden Wall Party. 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

I had the best time with this look! I wanted to capture the woods in fall like in the series. Everything started with a cloth forest backdrop (Amazon). The top of the backdrop is adorned with auburn colored pin wheels. (Copper from Michaels and the others from the Dollar Tree) It turned out just like I envisioned. I finished everything off with my Happy birthday Banner.

Party Table

My party table channeled the woods and the Opening to the series. I loved the opening title scene so I incorporated it as much as I could. My table banner is available in my shop as more then just a table banner. (it would also look amazing as a backdrop). For table clothes, Black and Gold from the Dollar Tree were used. Super simple and effective. The back of the table (behind everything) fall exploded with leaves and autumn flowers. You can also find black branches to channel the beast.

Table Decorations

From left to right, Pumpkin pie bites are the perfect easy snack for the party. In my drink dispenser is delicious Apple Cider (Tik-tok recipe) and of course a black lantern. You can find these adorable Over the Garden wall character cutouts of Wirt and Greg in my shop too!

My Centerpiece is JASON FUNDERBURKER! I made him! This was a super fun DIY Project from the Dollar Tree! He’s a frog piggy bank and I love him! He sat atop the cutest cupcake tower this side of Over the Garden Wall. The cupcakes had one of three cupcake liners and a adorable cupcake topper. I incorporated more wood into the woods with my favorite wood slices.

The right side of my table held yummy caramel popcorn and POTATOS and MOLASSES! A Over the Garden wall Party must! If you couldn’t guess this set was mashed potatoes and gravy, but I can pretend its Molasses. Finishing off everything with a Beatrice cutout available in the shop.

Favors:

The perfect favor for an Over the Garden Wall party is a pet rock to take home and “That’s a ROCK FACT!” If this is a creative type party maybe have your guests paint their own pet rocks for a fun touch and activity. These rocks were painted my me (Purchased from Dollar Tree) and sealed with Modge Podge.

 Fashion

If your throwing a Over the garden wall party channel your inner Wirt, Greg or even the beast to add to the fun. Guine dressed up as Beatrice and even found the bird I hid in my set.
