Stratton's 1st Birthday Party
From the beginning. . .I had JW Illustrations create some custom graphics for me. I knew I wanted to use airplanes and helicopters in the colors navy, kelly green and light blue. This is what she came up with:
I had her change the red to blue and green and I was all set to design!! I opted out of using the pilot graphics, but they are really cute!

Amazing cookies made by my Aunt Christina aka Cookies by Christina
Favor table
Favors included; airplane suckers that I made, along with personalized hershey bars, blue sippy cups with animal crackers inside, individually wrapped cookies by Christina G., Andes mints, spearmint candy and personalized hershey miniatures. I got the galvanized metal tiered tray from Pottery Barn- I just love it! Above the favor table I hung a banner I designed with the same colors and patterns used throughout the party.
I wrapped a square of foam in matching polka dot paper I created and trimmed it with ribbon and topped it with some crinkled paper shreds and stuck my suckers in the foam so that they would stand up. Worked like a charm and looked pretty cute, too!
