Susannah Grace's 1st birthday was a blast! I decided to plan her party around the theme of a Sweet Shoppe. It turned out just beautiful. Many thanks to my dear friend, Jennifer Kimbrough, for helping me get everything together and for keeping me sane during the processs:)!
Baby girl's sweet invitation!
Birthday banner for the door :)
This was the sweet shoppe table composed of her cake and pink candy!
Inspiration for the backdrop banner board came from here. I fell in LOVE with this idea while I was blogging around looking for ideas. Although ruffling these streamers is pretty easy, it is time consuming, don't be fooled. In order to create this eye pleasing scene, I used a piece of plywood (4x6 feet), stapled a white sheet to it, draped the ruffled streamers over it, and then stapled them down to the back to reinforce them. Then, I just used white tacs to hold down the banner I made using scrapbook paper and letters I printed, and Jennifer cut out, from my printer :).
Her beautiful cake made by Angie Golden of Springville, AL! She is amazing!
This was her smash cake. Isn't it adorable?
More candy pictures :)
I got the labels for the candy from chickabug off of etsy.
I ordered the lollipops and rock candy for www.bulkcandystore.com
This is one of the centerpieces I created for a table.
We kept dinner simple with pizza, chips, and dip.
I got the flowers from Davis' Wholesale Florist downtown. I always purchase flowers from them when I am doing an event (birthday, shower, tea, etc.).
Sweet baby girl getting ready for some birthday cake!
She LOVED it!
Since we had SG's birthday at a clubhouse, I thought I would need something to keep all of the kids preoccupied. I saw a precious idea on a blog of this girl who created a sweet shoppe out of cardboard boxes for the kids to play in. Since, I didn't have the time or energy to do this we just ordered this cardboard house for the kids to color on and play in. They all LOVED it!
