Evan & Ryan's First Birthday

Evan and Ryan's mommy, Jessica wanted to do something really fun and different with the invitations for their first birthday, she had the printed on balloons! Check it out!

Each balloon was tied to a printed card and mailed. Guests had to blow up the balloon to be able to read the invitation. So fun!

It's not easy to see, but we also designed a small coloring card that Jessica attached to each favor, which was a baggie of star-shaped crayons. So cute!

Allie's 1st Birthday

Allie's mommy, Bonnie contacted me about some items for a gnome-themed birthday party. I loved this theme so much! Check out what we came up with:

Wraparound address labels. It's all printed onto one strip of adhesive paper and the return address wraps around to the back of the envelope. And yes, the return address totally said "Allie's Gnomies"!

Favor tags.

Napkin rings.

Using the gnome characters and the mushrooms, I created a pattern that Bonnie printed onto a few pennant flags for a simple and cute banner.

Happy birthday Allie!!

Nathan's 3rd Birthday

I've had the pleasure of working with Nathan's mommy, Cari on the birthday items for his birthday every year. You can see past birthdays here: 1st birthday, 2nd birthday.

His favorite movie this year is Monsters Inc and he wanted a monsters theme to his birthday. I was oh so happy to oblige.

These monsters were so fun to create!

We made a sign for the party favors too:

And a fun coloring book for the kids in attendance:

It was simple, just an 8.5x11 page folded in half and printed on both sides.

I love how everything turned out. Happy Birthday Nathan!

Georgia's First Birthday

When Georgia's mom Sarah explained that she wanted to do an Alice in Wonderland theme for her daughter's first birthday, we spent some time brainstorming how it was going to work. Georgia's birthday is in the middle of winter and they live in Canada, where they have REAL winter. 

From there it became and Alice in WINTER Wonderland theme and we had a blast with it.

Invitation:

We also created little tags and sign for just about everything at Georgia's party. Sarah set up a hot chocolate buffet with snacks.

Guests were asked to write some well wishes and "growing up" advice on a card and put it inside the teapot. It was packed away for Georgia to read on her 18th birthday.

Yummy candy buffet favors.

Happy Birthday Georgia!!!

Tyler's 1st Birthday

Ty's mommy and daddy called him their little bug, so it was only fitting that they do a bug theme for his first birthday. We had So. MUCH. FUN with this party and I think you can tell by looking at how great everything looked. 

To add the "bites" in the invitation, we used a scalloped circle punch that you can purchase at almost any craft store. Tyler's mommy, Lindsey also used the punch on green paper plates at the party.

These labels were adhered to baby food jars and filled with goodies as favors and also on water bottles.

Lindsey got a bunch of these small bug catcher boxes for the kids in attendance and this is the favor tag I made for them.

Awesome pennant banner!

The food signs we created were supposed to fold in half and stand on their own, but the wind that day had other plans. They still turned out cute!

Lastly, we created a high chair banner and a t-shirt graphic that Lindsey ironed onto Ty's t-shirt.
