Description
Parker's first word was "doggie" so I knew I wanted to throw him a puppy themed party. Everything available to purchase for a puppy party was not my style so I decided to make my own decorations and food. With a little help from Pinterest I planned a puppy themed party that was modern and tasteful.
Design Inspiration
I used various different projects and photos from around the internet. I stuck with red and brown as my main colors.
Decorating Style
Modern and fun
Project Details
Everything at this party was DIY - from decorations to food.

Favorite Items
I love the ONE sign - it was super simple to make (probably about an hour) and it was such a great way to tie together everything on cake table and emphasize that this was a first birthday party.
Advice
Just have fun and be creative! Also plan ahead if you're going to DIY, the freezer is your friend.
Congratulations on being one of our favorite projects of the week!
I am so impressed with all of your DIY details from this party! It is soooo cute! Did you sew the banner? I wish I could sew! I can’t even pick a favorite thing because I love it all, but the “pup you up” station might be it! You did such a wonderful job!
