Celebrating the first year! ~ Part 4 *-*-*-PARTY-*-*-*

We had a wonderful time preparing and planning for Lila's first Birthday BBQ. It was so special to have so many friends and family with us to celebrate. I loved created almost everything from scratch and finding STEALS to decorate that were o-so-cute! I wish I could do this for a 2nd job... I would LOVE it!

Each Guest was sent this custom invite... I had not attempted pencil drawing on an invite before, but I think it turned out great?! I drew the little girl with pencil and paper, scanned it then colored it with the computer. :)

Had a blast making and decorating this cake for my baby girl!...

it was strawberry funfetti topped with vanilla icing, blue pearls,
and her very own mini-bunting!
Not to mention the glitter red ONE!!!

"Happy 1st Birthday Lila Grace" Banner to greet guests!

Lots of fun decorations 

(those table clothes were dollar wrapping paper I found at target! wahoo!)

Cute Thank you buckets found in the sale section of the dollar section that I added a ribbon, custom sticker and filled with chocolate! Yumm!

Each table had a bucket -o- chocolate
and framed photos looking back at Lila over her first year.

God made this beautiful view and day for us! Thank you Jesus!

The Birthday Girl's special chair complete with her own handmade bunting made from scraps from the large bunting and a sewing maching!

We had two kids tables, each table had a
bucket -o- crayons and some vintage coloring sheets. 

 

Cakes and cupcakes were fun to plan and decorate!

There was strawberry, chocolate and vanilla cupcakes... the classics, then I made Chocolate Chocolate Chunk, Chocolate and strawberry, Strawberry Chocolate Chunk, and Vanilla Chocolate Chunk! Yumm!

 Each cupcake was topped with vanilla icing,
blue pearls and a custom cupcake topper. 

It was fun to come up with these toppers too!

 Cupcak stand is a candle stick and a white plate!

Pinata I got on sale, with a coupon then an additional 30% off because the fluorescent lights in the store had faded some of the pink tissue paper.
Printed off the circle image to match the invites, then added blue tissue paper, and wala! the kids had fun with this!

It's Party Time!
