Pinspiration! Henry's 1st birthday party edition

Just wanted to share some of the things I've pinning lately that are inspiring ideas for Henry's 1st birthday party.  Of course, I can't use all of these...I'll have to find some that will work for the birthday theme, my tiny budget, and my less than stellar artistic skills.  But I thought these were so great that I had to share!

I love the idea of having something to greet party guests at the door!  A door hanger or a simple set up is perfect.

 

 

 

The smash cake has been around for a long time, but it's almost required these days, ha!  It's so fun to have a little cake just for the birthday baby to smash!

 

I also love these personalized cookies!  They could be party of the party food or really cute party favors.  I've got to learn how to make some of these!

 

I love it when the birthday baby has a special shirt or outfit that's part of the party theme!  Such a cute, simple idea that really brings things together.

 

It seems like every party online has some type of party-themed, food table backdrop.  These really go the extra mile in cementing a party's theme & make for some cute pictures to remember the day by!

 

I've seen this on Pinterest before, but recently seeing that a friend used this idea at her baby girl's party with great success sent me to Toy's R Us to gather supplies for Henry's very own ball pit!

 

 

I got all of these pictures off of Pinterest & have tried to use the links back to the website that they came from.  Be sure to follow the links to see other great party ideas!

 

What has inspired you lately?  Any party planning going on?  What great idea from Pinterest have you used at a party?  Did it turn out the way you hoped?  Boy, I've got a lot of work to do!  I'll be back with projects soon :)
