party ideas

This past weekend, I was asked to photograph a first birthday party at a neighborhood park. Walking into it, I had no idea that I was going to encounter the cutest and most-Pinterest worthy celebration ever. The theme was ‘Woodland One-derland,’ and I was gushing over every single intricate detail.

Unfortunately, I can’t source things, since it isn’t my party, but if you have questions about any of the party decor, I’m happy to ask Sarah (Liam’s mom) and get back to you! Nobody should ever question the amount of blood, sweat and tears that goes into these first birthday parties! I know from first-hand experience (Isla’s party blog post here and Project Nursery post here) that they take umpteen hours to plan and fly by so incredibly quickly.

Feast your eyes on this gorgeous woodland party, share with friends who have young babes and Pin away!

I have long loved bright pink and yellow paired together – à la pink lemonade. When I saw this tank and these shorts on sale at Carters, buying them was a no-brainer. Isla’s outfit reminded me of the cutest Pink Lemonade Soiree I saw ages ago on Hostess with the Mostess. I love the idea of a pink lemonade themed party! I’m getting ahead of myself, but I already let my mind wander to Isla’s first birthday party. These celebrations end up being huge events! See some pictures below for inspiration. Most are from the Pink Lemonade Soiree, others from Kara’s Party Ideas, and others from Pinterest.

What are other cute toddler party themes you’ve seen?

Also, one last reminder that the MAM pacifier giveaway ends tonight at midnight!
