Party Inspiration

So, it's that time.  I am planning a birthday party for a soon-to-be one year old.  Her birthday isn't actually until the 10th, but Johnny's brother is having a baby next weekend (scheduled, anyway), so the party had to be a little early.  Pinterest is amazing for many reasons, and does not fail when you need some serious rush-party solutions.  Here are some of my favorite things I've pinned for party inspiration:

Okay, sorry but those baby masks CRACK ME UP!  I laugh every time I look at them.  I'm hoping to make that happen for Poe's party because I think the bigger kids will find them equally hilarious!

I can't wait to show you how her party comes together.  So much going on this weekend!!!
xoxo Katie

    I would love to do those masks for a grown up party - everyone wearing the mask of when they were a baby; it would be fun to see how we've all changed (or maybe haven't...?!).

    Ohh, I love the rainbow balloons! <3 Making it Lovely did an amazing party for her daughter a while ago. It was rainbow themed, and had the most amazing layer cake. You should look it up; it was truly wonderful!

    That blue icing and stars is fantastic! I love one year old parties. I gave my little girl keepsakes on her first birthday, (before she started asking for toys) : )

    The baby masks ARE awesome! It would be cool if you could use baby pictures of the adult family members attending, like grandma, grandpa, etc. :-)
