1st birthday party, let’s get nautical!
My baby girl is incredible, it’s impossible to list all of her achievements over the past year – some big ones… crawling, walking, talking, hugging, kissing. Not to mention a million little/big things like growing the muscles to hold her head up and figuring out how to open her little clenched fists. AMAZING ///
Happy birthday big girl, I love you I love you I love you I love you!!!
The Birthday Girl
Haha, favorite! ->
I LOVE throwing parties, always have. This might be my most ‘theme-y’ party yet, all blues, stripes, sailboats and rough waters (icing). Thanks so much to my awesome family for helping me pull this off, especially my mom and sister – the bakers!
The Cake
The Allergen-Free Mini Cupcakes
Monkey bread cupcake with seablue icing
Made by my sister, these were AMAZING. They also gave me a crazy gluten hangover for two days after being off of it for 8 months. WOAH, who even knew a gluten hangover existed? Totally worth it, haha.
Cake Table
SS Watermelon
Carved and scooped by my awesome dad!
Gifts
DIY Photobooth Backdrop
Easily my favorite part of any party, the photobooth!

Brilliant! We are having a “barn” wedding in August…the photo booth is GENIUS! I plan to appropriate that idea. And I also thought the life cycle poster of your girl’s first day and her 365th was clever. Thank you for sharing your celebration! Have many many more!
P.s. love the sails made of maps….I am a map junky…I might steal that too.
Thank you! LOOOOVE ‘barn’ weddings – congrats and good luck planning! :)
So cute! You are so crafty Amanda :-) Happy Birthday to your baby girl!
