Monkey theme

While looking at Project Nursery for nursery ideas, I saw the parties that people were also posting. So, naturally, when my little guy was going to turn 1, I consulted this site again, looking for ideas. For some reason, monkeys have been a theme with him, so I chose to go that route. I liked the “Mod Monkey” theme but instead of buying that party themed decor, I designed everything myself using digital software.

We were called to design a modern nursery for a baby girl and the design starting points were an orange monkey wallpaper and a see through crib. This is all we had to completely transform a guests bedroom into a sweet and fun nest.

I am so proud of this monkey themed nursery.  I painted the nursery yellow and then took inspiration from a monkey wall decal I found on Etsy, changed it to fit my room and then hand painted it on the wall.  It, of course, would not be complete with out Mom, Dad, and Baby Ryan’s initials on the tree (the initials on the tree stem all the way back to our wedding when Mom and Dad’s initials were carved in a tree during our engagement hike and then used on programs, etc).

The Blake Family wanted a fun and inviting baby room! Custom mural by artist, Pamela Townsend; consisting of a Monkey, Giraffe, Lion, Elephant surround the walls with playful smiles. A banana tree is prefect to sit under with a good night time book to read baby Michael to sleep. The wall letters were handmade with scrapbook paper and even showcases Micheal’s hand print and footprint. Zebra rug, valance and crib skirt were all purchased at Target.

For Wyatt’s first birthday, we designed a Curious Wyatt party. Bananas galore. 

Vincent was born 16 weeks premature, so we had a formal shower after he was born. The shower was at a banquet hall, on a Sunday afternoon. There were approx 75 guests in attendance.  Appetizers were served during the cocktail hour, which included punch, soda, and mimosas.  A sit down luncheon was served afterwards, followed by cake and pastries.

This is the party I organized for my son’s first birthday. I wanted him to be the center of the party, and I wanted the decor to reflect that!

The sex of the baby was unknown so we did a little monkey theme with colors of green, brown, yellow. It was a couples shower so some highlights were “feed the baby” corn hole game. Cake Pops with monkey faces and lots of food!
