Well, it's hard to believe, but Beckett turned 1 over the weekend! To celebrate, we threw a big bash for our little man. I had so much fun planning the party and may have went a little over the top, but come on, you only turn 1 once! I'd love to share some of the details of the party!
First up, the decorations....
I made a bunch of paper poms and hung them from the ceiling in the living room, as well as paper flags and hung them above the dessert table.
I wanted to keep in theme, so I made a necktie 'Happy Birthday Beck!' banner, which I think turned out really cool! I loved adding little details around the house that people could discover.
One of my favorite things were the felt mustaches on sticks & handmade bow ties on sticks I made. The bow ties turned out really cool and were super easy to make. I had them set out so guests could easily grab 'em!
I made a silhouette Beckett portrait and put it in an old frame and put it on the dessert table. It was really easy to make, and I loved the vibe it added to the little man theme!
I also made a time line of photos of Beckett from all 12 months and hung them in order across the bookshelf. I also made these really cool 'No. 1' ribbons and hung them around the house, I loved the way they turned out!
Up next, more photos of the party details, along with the food!
This past Sunday we threw a super fun 2nd birthday party for Beckett. I've been working on editing all the photos from the party, but thought I would share some snippets of the party to give you a first glimpse. It was soooo much fun to plan and design all the elements of this party, and can't wait to share all the deets in the coming days! 
Well, this is the final part of Beckett's party. We set up a photo booth area in the house, so folks could take a photo! They all turned out really funny, and we even had a big bucket o' props filled with top hats, ties, glasses & of course mustaches on sticks.
Another great photo booth pic.
We had some super delicious cupcakes in addition to the cake, I made little paper bow ties to stick in each of them as well.
The cake was amazing! I loved how it turned out, complete with fondant ties and chocolate mustaches. (The cake & cupcakes were made by Extra Special Touch Bakery)
I set out a box of chocolate cigars, which looked pretty real! They added a nice touch. I also had necktie napkins, which were so cool! If you tucked them into your shirt, it looked like you were wearing a tie. I also placed old glass jars around the house and filled them with animal crackers (ya know, for the kids, since this is a kids party....)
