This weekend we hosted my daughter’s first birthday party. It was so much fun to plan all of the decorations and get everything ready for the big day. I tried to make all of the decorations myself to save on money…buuuuut, let’s be honest. The cost gets pretty out of control super fast, even with 100% trying to be budget conscious!!
She is too young to be “into” anything, so we decided to go with colors rather than a theme…although I did work in the concept of lollipops a bit!
The colors for her party were pink and orange (as you will see) and it looked so fun and festive…and totally girly!
I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking today…
Caleigh’s First Birthday Party!
Dessert Table…Carrot Cake smash cake and cupcakes and chocolate layer cake with buttercream frosting!
Homemade lollipop sugar cookies as favors
The lollipop cookie favors…from meaghan over at The Decorated Cookie
Table for the kids - snacks, sippy cups, juice
close up of the kids table - how awesome are those pink and white striped cups?? $1 each at Party City! What a find!
wrapping paper as a table runner, chinese lanterns as centerpiece and BALLOONS (my favorite, and the easiest, decorations!)

I made a quiz with questions about the birthday girl…lift the flap to find the answer!
She had a blast the whole day!
It was an incredible day filled with great friends. I can’t believe my baby girl is over a year old now!
What a year it has been!
