Pool Party!! Birthday Party!!

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!

The Cupcake Tower, cupcakes and cake were decorated with toppers I made to match the party theme

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!
