Real Party {Vintage Birthday Party}

I am finally recovering from a bad flu bug, and am glad to be back to normal! My party feature today is from Kami Buchanan Custom Designs. Kami threw the most darling vintage birthday party for her daughter Emerson's 3rd birthday (LOVE her name by the way!). Take a peak into this over the top party.

The details of this party just blow be away, Kami didn't miss a beat! Be sure to check out her post of the party for many more pictures. 

Real Party: {Baby Gone Wild}

I am featuring a party tomorrow over at AtoZebra Celebrations that totally reminded me of my very first party I threw a couple years ago. One of my dear friends was pregnant with a boy and the theme I decided on was Zebra, blue, and green. I wish I had better pictures but these will have to do! 

I did all the food "mini" size. We had hamburger sliders, kettle cooked chips in mini paper cones, bite size cheesecake bites, and white chocolate mousse with oreos!

{Little Monster 1st Birthday}

I am in love with this darling 1st birthday party thrown by my friend Kelsey. They call her son their "little monster", so it was only fitting that she threw a monster party for his birthday! 

The Details:

One of my favorite things from this party are the hangings on the wall. When I asked Kelsey how she did them I was surprised at what a great idea they were. She used pictures that were already hanging in those same spots, wrapped them in paper, and used her Cricut to make the details. What a thrifty way to add such significant details.

Jars filled with candy as decoration doubled as favors once the party was over

Tissue paper pom-poms all over!

Time line banners are my favorites for a 1st birthday party. It's so fun to see how much they change over that first year. 

Kelsey made "monster smiles" for the guests to pose with in the photo booth. Don't you just love the balloons in the bottom of the jar? It's the little details that make a party stand out!

And look at the cute birthday boy loving his cake! 

Thank you Kelsey for sharing your party with us!

{Sweet Shoppe 1st Birthday}

It had been a while since I had a reason to plan a big party, so I had such a fun time planning my daughter's first birthday. When I saw Shelley's party for her twin girls on How Does She?, I was head over heels, and knew I had to use her party as inspiration. I am so happy with how everything turned out and can't wait to start planning for next year! 

Living in the freezing tundra of Idaho, I decided to have a Steamer Bar to warm everyone up. Steamed milk was in a nice coffee dispenser, with flavored syrups, chocolate, and caramel available for a DIY steamer!
