We had an absolute blast celebrating Emerson’s 1st birthday. So much so that our friends are still talking about this Mimosa bar inspired 1st birthday brunch during the wintery holiday season. It was a fun escape for us, our friends and their families. What’s missing from the photos? The 30 kids under 6 in my home all at once ;) Hoping this peach, blush pink and gold 1st birthday theme inspires others planning their special celebration!
We wanted to have a beautiful, fun party to celebrate our sweet Carolyne turning 1! Our “theme” was “Sweet Carolyne” (like the Neil Diamond song) and included a dessert table with nothing but “sweets.” We used different shades of pink and coral, along with gold and glitter accents. Most everything was DIY by mommy!
Since the party was at 10 am, we had a breakfast bar with some brunch favorites – mini pancake stacks, sausage balls, chicken salad on croissants, mini blueberry muffins, and a yogurt bar!
A Rockin’ 1st birthday for my little Rockstar! The theme was inspired by my father and brother who are both musicians, the invitations were printed on a high gloss paper to resemble a flyer-type ticket. VIP passes were made for each little Rockstar along with a custom rocker placemat. A homemade amplifer was made out of a tool box, my husband had me take out the $400 drills before heading to the party! Assortments of rocking candies were on display such as Rock Candy, Pop Rocks & Drumstick Lollipops. Oriental Trade had a great selection of inflatable guitars, perfect for the summertime and 80’s style shades for all to enjoy! I accented the party with a checkered wrapping paper around the tables and glass jars along with ‘You Rock’ pics and photos from each month 0-12 for the birthday boy. Custom cupcake toppers were scattered around the tables and the guitar cake made by Patty’s Cake added the perfect touch! The ‘Rockstar’ sign was a Target find on clearance. The birthday boy rocked out to a jam session of ‘Happy Birthday to You’ from his papa and uncle. This was a great party for the modern-rocker mommy and baby on a budget!
