Birthday parties are one of my "things". I love to throw my kids a good birthday party. And yes, I probably spend way too much time in the preparation stages of the party, but believe me there are plenty of other things I don't do that make up for it! LOL But parties are one thing I like to do. My youngest turned 1 last month... I can't believe it! We had a family party and had so much fun. I had a lot of fun decorating for this one. I created all the printables using Little Boy papers and elements by Echo Park that were perfect for what I wanted. I created the templates for all of the items, and I'm hoping to find some time to make them shop-worthy, so stay tuned for that in the next couple of months!
Here's a collage overview of everything:
Some close-up shots:
Cupcakes, treats, and party favors
Birthday banner and cupcake table
"Sour cream" containers filled with M&M's
Party blowers (the kids loved them, the adults... not so much)
Water bottles (with a label spot for names)
Banner close-up
Birthday wall (I make a birthday wall of pictures for each of my kids' birthdays... they love it)
Baby's first cupcake :)
Yummy cupcakes
My daughter also had a birthday last month. We had an "artist" party, so I'll try to share the details of that one of these days!

Happy birthday, littlest one!
Those party blowers are awesome! Did you use a template to make the tag?
Nicole,
I did use a template that I created. It's not in my store yet, but should be very soon (I hope!).
How do you make the letters for the banner?
I LOVE this! My son's 1st birthday is coming up soon and I am doing a "primary color" theme. Do you have these templates available for purchase? And what font is that? Thanks!
The letters for the banner are an alphabet by Echo Park found here: http://www.jessicasprague.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tabs.tpl&product_id=1012&category_id=12&keyword=little+boy&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=316
(All the digital papers and elements I used come from the Little Boy line by Echo Park found at JessicaSprague.com.)
I have templates for some of the stuff I used...

I hope this helps... please let me know if you have other questions! :)
I would seriously love to buy the banner from you for my guy's 1st bday next month (if you still have it). I thought about trying to make it, but I'm not a very crafty girl. Let me know :)
This is a great post thanks for writing it.
