Cat in The Hat Party

My baby boy turned one! I was inspired to do a Cat in the Hat party since I saw Amy's "It's a Twin Thing" Post... I thought it would be an original 1st bday theme... It was a lot of fun to plan starting from the invitations. Here are some pics...


Just us :) Happy Birthday Little Bean!!



Thing One and Thing Two's Cotton Candy :)

Thank you Madeline for sending me over your goldfish from your Seuss Baby Shower :), I had them hanging down from the ceiling.

Centerpieces were The Cat In the Hat stuffed animal with "truffula trees" aka Fluffy pens in glass bowls :)

Water Fun

A great idea for a birthday/summer fun!

This mom had great ideas to keep the party wet and cool on a nice hot Miami day... Water guns, water balloons, even some "fishing", another great tip was the "Jello Cake" (her son is allergic to cake so she opted for a fun way to sing him happy birthday and he can actually enjoy it. Check out the fishies in the bowl!

Wheatgrass Anyone?

Lately I've been loving the use of wheatgrass for centerpieces or party decor. I've come across a couple of cute ideas for a future party and thought I'd share for inspiration... I think I might create some myself in the next party just for the heck of it ;)
