Party Details

So, if you know me, you know I'm sucker for party planning.  I love get-togethers.  I also love over-the-top, and since I'm not a celebrity, over-the-top does not equate to having a mini-circus in my backyard:)  Most of our get-togethers involve the same 14 people, but I still enjoy going all-out for big events, such as your little baby girl turning one!

I love hosting, even though I'm not that great at it, and I usually rely heavily on others to make things go swimmingly for the rest of my guests.  It's not a secret:)  But I just can't help it - I love party details.  I look for reasons to host parties and use party ideas that I've found in various places, mainly Etsy and Pinterest.

While I realize that it's been a few weeks since Hannah's party, I promised to share party details.  I'm proud of the way it all turned out, and I'm thankful for the creative women who helped my vision come together:)

Hannah's birthday outfit was ordered from here

The lunch food table room - I've decided the way to make party rooms special is to move the furniture around in an unexpected way:)  The Minnie Mouse banner was ordered from here.

 Table details

Hannah's birthday onesie was ordered here

The cake table

 More lunch table details - I was especially happy with my silverware roll-ups.  Also, we framed the invitation we'd previously sent out - I ordered that from here.

 The drink table

 The favor tags came in the set I ordered with the birthday banner.

Balloons and an "I am 1!" banner (also came with the other banner and the favor tags)

 Lunch table when it was all said and done

 My love affair with mason jars continues...I won't even tell you how long I searched for those hot pink straws:)

One day, I hope Hannah looks back at these pictures and sees how special this day was for us and knows just how loved she really is.
