Invitations are going out this week for our baby girl's first birthday party! A little over a month away! I had a hard time finding a teddy bear invitation I liked, so I found this baby announcement on Minted
and turned it into an invitation. I think it came out great!
I don't have any details put together other than the place, time, invitation...and the colors/theme: brown teddy bears with pink and purple accents. I know I'll be making a teddy bear cake and cupcakes. We're also going to make these "teddy bear car" treats. I need to figure out the food. I'd love to make Lulu a little birthday crown and tutu. Help me, what else do I need to start thinking about?

I love these!!! I carried the theme by putting labels on water bottles and then little gifts for the kiddos! I absolutely love the invites!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I made cupcake toppers that matched our invites, and then I just color coordinated all the plates/napkins/plasticwear/cups/etc. :) Also, I think I remember you mentioning that you're night weaning Lucia? How are you doing that? How is it going? I think Theodore is ready to be night weaned. Or, at least I'm ready for him to be night weaned... :) On a "good" night he's only up once or twice, and on a "bad" night, it's every hour or two after 11 PM.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are night weaning. When Lucia wakes up, David goes in to her and pats her back to sleep. Usually it only takes a few minutes. Sometimes she still wakes up 3 or so times at night but most of the time she is sleeping through. If I go in there, she associates me with milk and absolutely will not go back to sleep without nursing. I hate that the burden is on David, but he reminds me that if she sleeps through the night he gets a good night sleep as well, so it's best for both of us in the long run!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elise! They are actually baby announcements but I couldn't find any bear birthday invitations that I liked, so I made this one work and we are so happy about this!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! But I love bears and purple :) I can't believe she is going to be 1 already! It seems like just yesterday you were still pregnant :)
ReplyDeleteThe Teddy Bear Cars are adorable. Are you going to make her a separate cake that she can play in? That's a great tradition! :)
ReplyDeleteCute. I can't wait to start planning my Lu's 1st birthday... oh who am I kidding, it's already half planned. Hitting the party store the day after Valentines for everything PINK for my February baby!!!
ReplyDeleteAre other kids coming? G had 2 little friends, so I planned favors.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved planning and hosting her first birthday party :-)
Hope you savor the day!!
Lucia has a little (third) cousin who recently turned one and hopefully will be there. The next youngest person will be my brother, who is 20!
