Wild One - First Birthday Party

 Wild One- First Birthday themed Party!

Invitation handmade by my sister!

This was a picture of the cake smash (on his actual birthday* not on the day of the party).

Today was a blast. Though it was difficult having a small gathering for such a big occasion, we still made the most of it. In a way, having a small gathering was more intimate and everyone got a dose of the birthday boy. The theme that we gave Christopher was Wild One. Most of the decorations that I used were handmade and I also ordered the greenery from Amazon. I will link later on DIY decorations. I spent under $100 on all of the decor which I did not think was bad at all. 

I will link how to make this balloon garland. FYI this was something that took me the longest to make. I suggest making this the day before. If you blow up the balloons, they will last for 4 days. after that, they start to deflate.

Centerpieces:

- Mason Jars 

- 

Animals were added to the table and those were the favors. I got the animals at the dollar store. 

Let the world hear you roar!

BORN TO BE WILD SIGN- printed out letters that I made in a word document. Then I cut them out. Hole punched the letters on the top and strung twine through the holes. Then I taped it onto the wall and TAAADAHH. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BALLOONS- Bought this for $10 at party city. 

TRIANGLE GARLAND- Construction paper was cut into triangles and then as I did with the letters.. hole punch and then strung with ribbon. 

TABLE CLOTH- Dollar Store

DESSERTS SIGN- $5 at the craft store and painted 'Desserts' with white paint.
