Arctic Explorer 1st birthday party

Having a winter birthday party in Brooklyn, NY forced a little extra creativity. Outside lavish garden parties with lovely tents and strings of lights just wouldn’t really be ideal in this climate. Although those are the kinds of parties I dream of throwing! I kept seeing winter party ideas but none of them really fit into my vision. I wanted something with a stronger theme to build upon. Then I had this idea of an Arctic Explorer theme!

Holly’s Snowy 1st Birthday on a budget!

I made a snowflake themed party for my 1 year old daughter’s 1st birthday in January. It was pretty, pink, robin’s egg blue and glittery like frost. I made some cupcake toppers with scrapbook paper, skewers, and snowflake stickers, along with some dollarstore white styro snowflakes…And I made the banners with the same scrapbook papers, as well as some old fashioned paper chains with snowflakes added on the bottom! Also I used those “decorate them yourself” crowns from the dollar store and glued the leftover bits of scrapbook paper onto them…
