What the *bleep* is Undertale?!


That was the exact thought that passed through my head when the youngest announced that in early September that was theme he wanted for his upcoming birthday party (well...maybe not that EXACT thought...I didn't bleep myself). After that was..."Crap! Now I'm RESEARCHING party themes?! WTH?!"


Anyway, apparently Undertale is a game on Steam (if you are a parent of older kids..yeah, you've probably encountered Steam aka: bugged the heck out of to play on and buy from). It is about a little boy who "has fallen into the Underground, a large, secluded region underneath the surface of the Earth, separated by a magic barrier. The player meets various monsters during a quest to return to the surface"...blah, blah, blah... 


Alrighty then..so here we go for all those poor shmoes (parents) who need help with your own Undertale themed birthday party here's what went down:



The Invitations
The invitations were made using images found during my search, printed on cardstock, laminated and then I used a hole punch and placed a ribbon through the top to create "laynards".
Decorations


The decorations were kept to a minimum since really at this age kids only care about the food and playing. Again, using images found on the Internet I drew two of the characters on poster board, colored in and eventually cut out. Birthday boy's sister made the Floweys and his brother hung them up using green crepe paper for vines. Boom! Done!

 The cake was taken from another Internet find (chocolate cake with buttercream frosting) and the blue flame was created by melting a blue Jolly Rancher for 4 minutes in a 350 degree oven.


"Spaghetti" cupcakes with strawberry jam "spaghetti sauce" and "meatballs", aka Whoppers, were made since Papyrus LOVES to give everyone spaghetti.



For the food we had: popato chisps (potato chips), Ghost fruit (no, I did NOT cut them into ghost shapes, who has time for THAT?!), Hot dogs?( hot dogs with candy eyeballs), crab apples (candy apples), Spider cider (green punch) and abandoned quiche (mini cheese quiche). I made labels for all this Undertale "food" and included their health points.

The poster was made using Block poster online. AWESOME site! Check them out at: http://www.blockposters.com/

So there you have it. Not bad for not knowing what in the frippin' frack Undertale was in the first place. Although...now I DO have a costume idea for myself for next year! I think I will make a fine Muffet! :D
