The RSVP’s to Daphne’s Labor Day weekend/first birthday party are starting to roll in. I’m getting excited and need to start making some plans. But I need a theme or some inspiration before I can get started. I saw this amazing Alice in Wonderland theme party for a 4 year old girl on Jessica Claire’s photography blog. Here’s the link. Aren’t all those colors to die for? So pretty. And can you believe that was for a 4th birthday? What on earth is her 16th or wedding going to look like? I’m also thinking of a various shades of pink and orange palette. Call me crazy, but I really like these tiny birthday hats from Etsy seller itsybitsybunny:

I know, I know, I thought the hat was a little too much at first, but it’s growing on me. Really growing on me. I just don’t know how Daphne looks in orange. We will have to experiment.

As far as the cake, I’m thinking Costco sheet cake (because they are just so tasty) and then have a local bakery make some really fancy cupcakes. Danielle over at Thompson Family-Life had some really adorable cupcakes made for her son’s first birthday with vintage cupcake toppers. Of course I’d have to find something more girly. Clowns freak me out. I also love her banner. I totally plan on making something similar.

Party planning is so much fun!
