Birthday Tea Party Inspiration
Its still two months away but I've started to plan for Chloe's first birthday
party. How can I not get excited... planning a party for my daughter means
that I get to indulge in some of the fantasies I had as a little girl! One
thing I loved to do as a child was have tea parties and I thought that would
be a perfect theme for Chloe's first birthday. Here's a moodboard I put
together with some images that inspire me:
Clockwise: Fabrics for Chloe's chair; Bakerella cake pops; Purl Bee garland; Ikea Duktig tea set; vintage child's apron by Swankythread.
We inherited a whole bunch of mismatched tea cups and saucers from Mama HandyLuster so I'll be incorporating those somehow. I also have many doilies that I didn't use in Chloe's doily art piece that I'd like to use too. Maybe I'll dye them like Eddie did?
Birthday Tea Party Invitation
One thing I've started on is the invitation. I came up with this
poster-style invitation based on trendy wedding Save The Date cards I'd seen
on sites like Style Me Pretty. (Wedding sites are such great sources of
inspiration and have lots of pretty eye candy!) I'm not sure what I prefer,
the silhouette or Chloe's pic...which one do you like?
Then there's this version with her photo:
Of course, there's still lots of time for me to plan and prepare...and
change my mind about things, lol! I really want to make this first
birthday party special and sweet and fun. Tell me, have you had any
memorable birthdays? What made them special? The cake? Your party dress?
The miniature pony you got as a gift?? Spill the beans.
