I am busily planning Eva's 1st Birthday and Naming Day for next Sunday. To say I have gone over the top with decorations is um....an understatement. For the past couple of months, Google has been my best friend, taking me to all sorts of wonderful websites where I have been getting inspiration from. I am so looking forward to next Sunday it's crazy!! I am loving every minute of this planning process and sourcing different items from different websites and shops. I will be taking lots of photos and I promise to post some after the day :)
But, here are some photos that I am using for inspiration:
Birthday Cake:
I am making Eva's cake, which will be a giant cupcake (but in pink of course!). It will be placed on top of a 3 tier scake stand that I have. I was going to do mini cupcakes like in the pic for the other tiers but have decided that it will be too hard to get it all to the park! So normal sized cupcakes it is as they fit into my cupcake courier.
Food:
This is the food I am going to have - I am pretty sure there will be plenty to eat (probably enough to feed the whole park!!LOL)
OMG! There are so many amazing ideas out there I have gone out of control!! We are having the party at a park where there is a huge under cover area with 4 tables and chairs underneath. I am in the process of making tissue paper pom poms just like in the picture below. These will hang obviously from the roof (yep, picture me at 6.30-7am next Sunday morning with a ladder tying these damn things to the roof!! haha) - told you I've gone crazy(ier!!). In the pic below - the pom poms in the top left of the collage.
Drinks:
For drinks, on the table I am having a jug of pink lemonade plus some tiny milk bottles of pink lemonade with paper stripped straws (like in the pic below - top right) - these are mainly just for show but as the bottles aren't cheap, I am hoping the adults drink out of them not the kids!! LOL In addition, there will be water, soft drinks etc..
SO, as you can see I have been busy!! I know she won't remember any of it but there is just something about making everything pink and pretty that excites me!! (yes, I know, I need to get a life haha). Anyway, let's hope it all goes to plan and guests actually come!!
