I had lanterns everywhere(hanging from trees and hanging inside the house)
more lanterns inside
I made a collage of at least 80 pictures depicting Zion's first year. I used pre-cut mat boards and backing board to create frames(quite an inexpensive option instead of purchasing actual frames).

I purchased these blue plates(they were on clearance for $1 for 20). The colourful index cards and assortment of sweets continue to illustrate the theme.
party favors
labels from etsy seller
Baby Z wondering what this new texture was:-)
He's not really a fan of hats ..isn't it obvious?:-)
Time to cut the cake-i really didn't want to because it was so perfect!

I love this party! My son is turning 2 in September and he loves Wow Wow Wubzy so I can totally relate. I'll definitely be looking at your blog for inspiration as I start planning.
ReplyDeleteWow, that cake was really perfect and I liked your photo collage idea too. Next time you need pre cut mat board check out www.bdmatboard.com
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I love it all!!! I have been going insane trying to figure out what to do with my daughter's first bday, which is in October. She loves when Moose and Zee come on in between her "cartoon soaps" as I call them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cool ideas I love the photo collage, that looks less time consuming than the scrapbook that I was going to create.
