Star Trek Birthday!
Part 1
I have been preparing for Apollo's 1st Birthday party. I don't think it's a big secret that we are kinda space geeks... I mean, we did name our son Apollo...
He has been raised on Star Trek since in the womb. I fell asleep to Star Trek Deep Space Nine every night... and now, we fall asleep to Star Trek Voyager. He most definately has a crush on Dax. So, of course, we had to do a Star Trek Space Theme for his 1st birthday.
It's not so easy though... Star Wars seems to be the popular "star" theme with kids, but Apollo hasn't shown any interest in it (yet). What's a girl to do? Luckily for my kid, I attended the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale!! I'm gonna make it all myself! I know it's a tall order... I mean, I barely have time to shave my legs these days. But it's my baby's first Birthday... 'nuff said.
So for all of you parents out there who may be crazy enough to do the same here are some helpful links to fonts and graphics.
We are going to be making room signs... these fonts are awesome. They include languages like Bjoran, Cardasian, Klingon, Romulan, Vulcan, etc:

Pinterest was a Huge help! Here is a link to my Birthday Board: http://pinterest.com/kanitellu/apollo-s-birthday-possibilities/
Here is a copy of the Invitation I made:
As a former Interior Designer, I am in LOVE with this website. It has all of the blueprints for the ships! I am going to print some out and frame them.
Since it is a kids Birthday Party I am going to have coloring pages:
Our food will be appropriatly names after far Galaxy names:
Meteor Ball Sandwiches
Flying Saucers & Cheese Crackers
Romulan Blue Punch
Rock Candy as Dilithium Crystals
Milky Way Bars
Moon Pies
Red Gumballs as "Red Matter"
Green Grapes are "Alien Eggs"
you get the idea....
There will be a Part 2. I have to make a bunch of decorations. I'll post pictures!
UNTIL THEN...
