The 1st birthday party


Have you ever looked at pictures you have taken after an event and wanted to kick yourself?!? Well that is where I am right now. In all the craziness that was the party, I did not taken very good pictures to show what the party actually looked like. Seriously ... Epic fail.


This is what some of the decor looked like. I took plastic tablecloths and decorated the side of the garage so it was a good backdrop for the smash cake and presents. However this is the best picture I can get and it looks not so great. Note to self: take pictures! 

I also made this high chair decoration from ribbons. It matched the ribbon topiary that I had as center pieces on some of the tables.


 I did manage to take some pictures of the sweet table. It was also all pink and yellow. Thankfully right before the party was Easter and they had all kinds of pastel colored candy from the major candy companies. However, it did mean that I had to separate each bag. It then lead to the issue of major overload of blue, purple and green candy, which I brought to work and gave to my students. I got the treat bags and other candy that I couldn't get from Easter at Party City or the Ferrera Pan outlet store. I was surprised on how reasonable the prices were!
In addition to candy, we had lots of baked goods, I made pink lemonade cupcake in both regular and miniature size. Tons of other goodies like chocolate covered pretzels of course with pink or yellow sprinkles. We also made Rice Krispie treats and dipped it in yellow or pink candy melts.

I also made a small smash cake... Chocolate of course.

The napkins and plate are from   Target. I saw them at the store and loved them immediately! I am waiting for a friend to send me the pictures that he took and hopefully there will be better ones of the decor!
