Burkleigh Ann's 1st birthday party

We had a blast at Burkleigh's first birthday party. What a super special and fun day!  There is just something about turning one.  We had the party at our house and the kids loved playing out in the backyard. We kept it fairly small since B still does not do well around a lot of people.  She is still in that phase.  She won't let many people hold her either so we tried to keep it at simple as we could and it was perfect!  I've been planning in my head this party for months now so it was so fun to see it all come together.

Her theme was cupcakes and her invites were just perfect.  The ladies from Sweet Birdies Nest did the invitations, cupcake toppers, water bottle labels, cup labels, party favor stickers and thank you cards.  They turned out precious and if you haven't used them before you totally should.  This was the first time I had used them and now they are my go to girls.  Loved working with them!  The colors were hot pink, light pink and lime green. Of course we have a ton of pictures so I'm going to do two posts.  This one will be mostly the decorations.  Before I start.. a BIG thank you to my momma and sweet friend Shelly for helping me with all of it!  Couldn't have done it without both of ya'll!!

The precious cupcake cake that a girl in town made.  She also made the cupcake cookies that were favors and Burkleigh's smash cake.  But, I dropped the smash cake the day before the party and hated to call her and get her to make me a new one so PuBlix came to the rescue and did her one.  I was so sad.. it was too cute!

 

The precious sign I ordered from NatKat designs.  Love it!

The new smash cake with the precious cupcake toppers and sign from Sweet Birdies Nest.

I decided that every birthday I want the guests to sign a birthday book for Burkleigh.  This year since the them was cupcakes, her book was Pinkalicious. 

Decorations in the living room. I also bought a helium tank and we had lots of balloons in the ceiling!  That was definitely the way to go.  

The monthly picture banner!

Party favors.. cupcake cookies and bubbles!

The precious cookies.. and they were delish!

The yummy food table

We had chicken salad sandwiches, pimento cheese sandwiches, chicken nuggets from CFA, fruit skewers, pasta salad, cheetos, baked potato dip, cupcakes, cake and of course ice cream!

The candy table on my kitchen island.  Pink and green sixlet candies with rock candy and suckers, pink and green laffy taffys, pink and green jolly ranches, and pink and green marshmellows.

We had cherry limeade punch which tasted juts like sonic's. I will be making it again for sure! We also had tea and water.  We didn't get a picture of the water bottle labels but they were too cute.  

The labels on the cups were so cute and the polka dot straws were from etsy.

The balloon wreath that I made thanks to pinterest.  The cake in the middle was her birthday hat but she hates anything on her head so I stuck it here.

The precious ribbon skirt that my mom made for the birthday girl. One of my favorite things!

Pictures from Burkleigh's first birthday shoot.  We did family pics too.

It was a great day.. be back for part 2 later!  =)
