While I am here checking some of my favorite party blogs looking for ideas and inspiration for my daughter's 2nd Birthday party ... I just thought it would be fun to share some pictures of her 1st Birthday Party...
I chose Hello Kitty to be the theme of her party as the colors matched perfect with the dress she was going to wear {While browsing Birthday Express 
for party themes I discovered that the Gymboree polka dot dress and sweater were the perfect match with the Hello Kitty Balloon Dreams theme}
OK and... nobody can deny that Hello Kitty is simply ADORABLE!!
" I learned to laugh and squeal, then sit and stand,
and I can walk now if you hold my hand,
But the fun has only just begun,
lookout world, I'm turning one! "
I made two different styles of invitations, I just couldn't decide which one looked cuter!
I got the Hello Kitty Paper at Michaels. I hand-delivered all of the invites, so instead of envelopes, I just wrapped them in clear cello paper and tied them with a bow and guest name tags just like a loot bag.
The Hello Kitty cake was made by Cakes by Anna in Woodbridge, Ontario.
The Party favors were adorable hello kitty fanny packs and hair accessories, I wrapped in clear cello paper with made to match colorful bows and hello kitty guests name tags.
{Did you notice I love to wrap everything in cello paper, I always keep a few rolls handy... By the way, the tutorial on how to make the paper ribbon bows will be also available soon }
I always have to have Balloons in all my parties. I had balloon columns decorating the main table. Balloons are an inexpensive way to add lots of decor and they are just beautiful.
Stay tuned for Sarina's 2nd Birthday Party... {COMING SOON in March 2011}
