Ethan's First Birthday Party: Part One

Ethan's 1st birthday party turned out amazing. It was a 6 month labor of love for me and I enjoyed all of the planning and crafting leading up to his party and then to see everything come together and everyone's reaction, it was totally worth it. I have so many pictures from the day so I'm going to do a few posts to cover everything.

Today I'm going to cover the decor. Because I chose a Mickey theme, the possibilities were endless. I found so many great ideas for inspiration on Pinterest and Etsy. I chose to make many items but I purchased some items from Etsy as well.

A balloon guided pathway to our front door - I used golf tees to put the balloons in the ground, a handy tip I saw on Pinterest!

Treat bags for the kids

I loved the "one" made of pictures

Birthday stats board I made and ears for the kids I also made

We've got ears say cheers!

Centerpieces I made and a print from Ethan's 12 month photo shoot

Mantle with Ethan's first year slideshow playing

His twelve month themed photos strung across the mantle. I also made the Mickey Ethan letters.

Giant Mickey balloon

I made the wreath which was paper Mickey confetti stuck to a wreath form with straight pins. Michael bought me colored tulips that fit with the theme and I printed out some side by side comparisons of his 12 month photo shoots.

Crepe paper garland. I loved this because it made such an impact and it was so easy to make!

Welcome to the sweets table! I made the tulle Mickey wreath and all the sweets except the cake. I bought the banner on etsy and the little wooden chalkboard signs were from Very Jane.
