I now present Harper's Pink + Gold, Princess, Tutu First Birthday Party!!!
Lol.
I am very happy with how it came together considering a tight budget and being held at my parents house and in the kitchen and dining room area. I only invited our closest friends and of course my parents and sister and her family so it was very intimate which was perfect for my shy girl. I of course put this pretty much all together day of (except for the DIY stuff) including going to
Trader Joe's and Target to get a couple small finger foods (including mac and cheese bites, mini chicken tacos, and stuffed mushrooms) and some last minute things. I was stressed to the max and didn't have time to even get ready so I just threw on some jean shorts,
THIS cute tank I picked up at Target in the girls section, threw my hair in a bun and wa la!! At least Harper looked like a little ballerina princess in her
ruffle pettidress (similar) and her custom
Jameson Monroe headband.

| The cake table. |
 |
| I made the first birthday stats chalkboard myself on photoshop. I planned for these cupcakes to have yellow tissue paper coming out the top of the straws but I ran out of time. These were funfetti cupcakes with cotton candy frosting! |
 |
| Harper and her monthly pictures. |
 |
| We had sparkling lemonades and pink and white frosted animal crackers. |
 |
| Pink and Gold backdrop. I made the tassel garland. The Happy Birthday is a generic one from Target that I spray painted gold and the paper garland is also from Target. |
 |
| I ordered this small cake from a local bakery plain and then just added the sprinkles myself and found the glitter 1 at walmart. |
 |
| These tiara hair combs were also found at Target in the party favor bin for $2 dollars for four! I also added the sparkly gold onto the clear cake stand from Party City by just painting the underneath with gold sparkle nail polish. Genious right?! |
 |
| Made a mini tutu for her high chair and the ONE with pipe cleaners and spray painted them gold. |
 |
| I am very proud of my tassel garland! It took me a few weeks every night to make this but it was well worth it! |
 |
| For my parents kitchen not matching the theme AT ALL, I think it turned out pretty damn good ;) |
 |
And of course I just hung a tutu on a pretty hanger for a cute added touch.
I hope you enjoyed Harper's First Birthday Party!!!! |
