How to plan your own DIY Dragonball Z Party

Here is how I made my own DIY Dragonball Z 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

Creating this look was pretty fun and super easy for you to replicate. I first hung my favorite galaxy tapestry and filled the top with orange and blue pinwheels. There didnt seem to be enough orange so we added orange tissue poms and star banners to help add more texture to the set up. My show stopper Dragon is a printable you can make at home! Top everything off with my Dragonball Z Alphabet Banner.

I decided to create a Dragonball Z Baby shower for my set up. I loved the idea of “Your wish is granted” from the dragon.

“The Legend, as I was told, goes something like this. In the beginning there was only one Dragon Ball. It was huge. I mean REALLY huge, it had to be. It held all of the mystical energies of the universe. An ancient tribe discovered it, and was inspired by its magnificent power. They built a shrine around it, and protected the orb by placing it in the mouth of a giant Dragon statue, said to be its eternal guardian. You should have seen the detail on this thing, it was INCREDIBLE, scales made of Ruby, teeth of pearl—speaking of pearl, they say there was this one native girl (“GET ON WITH IT!”)—yes, well, the tribe enjoyed years of prosperity until one day, evil paid a visit to the village in the form of a band of thieves. These agents of Darkness stormed the temple in an attempt to steal the Dragon Ball for their own selfish gain. They were shocked to discover the true power of the Ball. To ensure such an attack never happened again, the Dragon Ball was divided into seven smaller orbs, and scattered across the globe. Separately, the Dragon Balls were useless, but when all seven were united, then a single voice could summon the Eternal Dragon for one wish, and one wish only. Some wishes were pure, but others were tainted by blind ambition. This led to pain and suffering as an unjust few wished for power and dominion over mankind. But as the story goes there will one day come a hero who will use the Dragon Balls for goodness, and bring peace and unity to the world once more.”

Party Table

My Husband grew up on Dragonball Z so I was so pleased to have his input of this Dragonball Z Baby Shower table. I used a rusted orange curtain to use as a table cloth so the colors wouldn’t compete with the other oranges on the table. We broke up the table with a royal blue plastic (Dollar Tree) table cloth and my gold table runner. Instead of flowers I decided to include the tissue paper poms in the back of the table too. Spread all over the display are all 7 Dragonballs! Something fun to include in a Dragonball party is a hunt to find all the dragonballs.

Table Decorations

The Left side of the table I displayed Potstickers/ Dumplings and Goten favorite treat, Strawberry Daifuku. Behind Bulma I put edamame pods in a cute dish to make the magic beans from the Dragonball Z cartoons.

The right side of the table has more desserts! Red Bean Mochis are one of my favorite treats so I included them quite a bit.

I LOVE working with other small Businesses! Check out this amazing cake from Jaimes Bakery (Winter Garden, Orlando FL Area). He decorated this adorable cake to match my Dragonball Z Baby Shower theme! It matched perfectly with the cute Dragonball Z cupcake Toppers and Dragonball Z Cupcake liners. So be sure to checkout his facebook page and let him work is cake magic on you!
