Here\u2019s a secret about the Bishop\u2019s. We\u2019re nerds. We like to play video-games and do geeky things. We\u2019re HUGE Nintendo fans. Especially my Hubby. This month he turned 30 and I wanted to do something special for him.<\/p>\n

However, if you know Mr. Bishop, he\u2019s pretty humble and hates for people to make a big deal about him, and he\u2019s not a huge fan of big parties. So, I just invited a few friends over, had my brother and a friend take him golfing, and threw together a small get-together. I wasn\u2019t even going to blog about it, so there\u2019s not a ton of staged pictures. But, I thought it would be fun to share some of the cute Nintendo themed snacks that I found around the web. I wasn\u2019t super original, and found most of these things on Pinterest<\/a>. {I\u2019ll try and link where I got all of the ideas!}<\/p>\n

\"mariosticker\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I put a post-it note Mario<\/a> on the back wall. But, it kept falling down, so it became a taped up post-it note Mario. It ended up being a super cute background for our food table, though. And my Hubby thought it was hilarious. It took a little longer to make it then I thought it would, and I accidentally left out a whole row. (Hey- you try hanging up all of those while keeping your eye on a wild and crazy toddler!)<\/p>\n

\"table1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"table2\"<\/a>I used a bunch of Amiibos and food as the decor, because I didn\u2019t want to purchase a bunch of stuff we didn\u2019t need. I bought polka dot napkins to look like Toad\u2019s hat. The only other thing I bought were those green flower pots holding some of the food.<\/p>\n

\"piranhaplant\"<\/a>These fruit kebabs are \u201cPiranha Plants\u201d and were super easy to make, as well as a delicious snack.<\/p>\n

\"fireflowerveggie\"<\/a>My veggie-loving Hubbs loved this Fire Flower Veggie Tray<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"cheesepuffs\"<\/a>This red bowl and pot represented a Fire Power Piranha Plant, and was a favorite with the kiddos. (Sorry for the blurry pic- again, I didn\u2019t originally plan on sharing these.)<\/p>\n

\"lonlonmilk\"<\/a>I printed off the Lon Lon Ranch label (from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) and put it on my milk bottles for the beverages.<\/p>\n

\"cheeseplate\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I will NEVER throw a party that doesn\u2019t contain a cheese plate of some sort. This one has some Pac Man cheese eating his Olive Ghosts.<\/p>\n

\"fireflowerplate\"<\/a>These cucumber, cheese, and carrot Fire Flowers<\/a> were cute and delicious!<\/p>\n

\"mariocheese\"<\/a>The simplest thing ever were these Mario Hat Babybel Cheeses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"linkbrownie\"<\/a>We had already had my Hubby\u2019s fave: Carrot Cake on his actual Bday\u2026 so I iced a brownie and had my talented Sis in Law decorate it with a candy Link.<\/p>\n

\"linktable\"<\/a>It looked super cute on this Zelda themed snack table. The dips were named from Zelda items as well.<\/p>\n

\"triforcelemonbars\"<\/a>These Triforce Lemon Bars didn\u2019t turn out the best, but they were SO good! (I just used a box mix and watched Nerdy Nummies<\/a> to learn how to make them.)<\/p>\n

I also made some Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings<\/a> and called it \u201cYeto\u2019s Superb Soup\u201d (from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) and grilled some Hot Dogs, because it\u2019s Summer!<\/p>\n

In the end the most important part: Mikey was surprised! I have never been able to keep a secret from him- ever! It was so fun pulling one over on him. And his nerdy heart loved it! We had a good time playing WiiU with our friends and eating waaay too much food.<\/p>\n

Have you ever thrown a small surprise get-together? What was your favorite theme?<\/p>\n
