A 'Good Dinosaur' themed party

Recently, we were hunting for a theme for our kid's birthday party. With a boy and girl to cater to, gender-specific themes such as 'Princess', 'Dora' or 'Cars' weren't appropriate. 'Mickey mouse & clubhouse' was an option, but it seemed old & cliched, atleast to us even if not for the kids!

Thats when the kid's growing interest in Dinosaurs and they getting besotted with the 'Good Dinosaur' movie provided an option. Apart from the interest, they emulated the characters as well: Arlo, big but a tad timid dinosaur, and Spot is the other extreme, a tiny baby with temerity to fight bigger things, while both are extremely protective of each other. After looking at other themes like the popular Chhota bheem-Chutki, we finalised this one.

However, since this theme was relatively new, no preset templates were readily available for the invitation cards, cake design or the stage decorations. With a couple of days left to prepare, we decided to customise and get the templates created. Picking up images from the various sites and the movie's posters as the base, we did some quick edits. Here is the collection of themes and templates we finally created on Sketch, and handed over to the respective vendors.
