Little "B" Turns One!


I started planning the first birthday party for my little "B" about 2 months before the day. I was just so excited to throw a little party for him, afterall, he is my little prince! So I decided airplanes would be the theme and the colors gradually came about as the primaries, Red Blue Green Yellow. I made the invitations, party favors, banner, airplane cupcake toppers, one cupcake stand, delicious cupcakes and some of the food myself. Then bought some party food from Costco and Fred Meyers.

First things first - the invitations...



Then the decor...





 
For the banner, I just printed out letters in different fonts and put the same size circle around each letter so that they were easy to cut out, then I strung present wrapping string through each one
 
 This was the birthday boy's seat!



Somehow the presents all matched the decor! Splendid!

The food...




Finger foods,

Cupcakes...
 
Cupcakes...


More cupcakes. The stand on the left is the one that I made.  I used a Huggies diaper box, white card stock, a Martha Stewart fancy hole puncher, fancy rope, pins, super glue, baby food jars, white spray paint, and little handmade paper airplanes.

The party favors...




The supplies...

Baggies w/ twist ties


M&M's with 1/4 cup scoop


Mini toy flying objects


Airplane making candy, I got this idea from here on flickr


And VOILA! Airplane themed party favors!

The party was a smashing success! Little "B" made out like a bandit with presents, and the 30+ guests had a great time!
