I’m very excited to share my baby girl’s first birthday party!
Around the time she turned six months I started mentally working out the details of an über fabulous fête t o celebrate the milestone …and then I came across this photo themed party by Stacey of Elle Belle Creative. It didn’t take much to decide it was perfect for Eden’s first birthday.
I recruited my BFF from CoBennett Photography and she agreed to man the photo booth for fun guest portraits.
There’s something cheerful about polka dots and perfectly suited to Eden’s sunny disposition so I tied them in with the red, aqua and dash-of-pink color scheme.
The dessert table featured a vanilla dotted cake iced in white butter cream, strawberry marshmallows, cupcakes with fondant camera toppers, spotted number ones , camera cookies and adorable kid pops!
Even a 1st birthday party needs a DJ for the 1s and almost 2s…
Mustache and eyeglass cutouts, chalkboard thought bubbles and a bright colorful backdrop added character to my favorite part of this party- the photo booth.
Each adult guest received a frame with instructions on how to select their photos from an online album to be ordered and sent with Eden’s thank you cards. The kids went home with gable boxes filled with goodies such as satin slippers, bracelets and light up yo-yos and handmade crayon rolls.
We had a great time planning and I’m very happy with how the party turned out.
We of course didn’t plan for the birthday girl to sleep for a portion of the afternoon but it’s her party and she can sleep if she wants to.
She did perk up later-right around the time Mommy and Daddy were ready to collapse.
