Little Man Party: Final Part 4

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.



Of course my favorite part of Beckett's party was probably the stationery! I know I already posted photos of his invitations, but here is another one, along with the thank you card that included a photo of a mustache Beckett!

Thanks for letting me share the details of Beckett's party! I had so much fun planning the party, and can't wait for next year, I already have a few ideas... !

Little Man Party: Part 3

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)

Little Man Party: Part 2

So, here is installment #2 of the birthday party bonanza....


Here is a close up of one of the No. 1 ribbons I made. I really liked the way they turned out and were pretty easy to make!



Ok, so this might be one of my favorite things about the party. Adam HAND DREW 30 different mustaches on all the cups. Yes, not only did he hand draw all of them, but he found 30 DIFFERENT mustaches to illustrate and name. It was pretty impressive. He got a little creative with them as he was getting towards the end. And he says he's not creative. I would beg to differ!


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....)




I was really excited when I thought of this....I labeled all the water bottles for folks with the phrase, 'Wet your whistle'.

Next up I'll have photos from our photo booth, the cake, & my favorite: the stationery

Little Man Party: Part 1

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!

Love birds

I designed these really fun invitations for Gina & Tom (also one of the coolest couples!) for their upcoming May wedding here in Wisconsin. Their wedding sounds like so much fun too, complete with a donut tower instead of cake!

City Sleek

I recently designed a whole slew of invitations for Chicago couple, Christen & Mike. They are having a classic wedding downtown Chicago at the Blackstone Hotel! So fancy! I really loved working with the Chicago skyline, and think they turned out pretty nice!

Party Time!

So, I can't believe it, but my little Beckett is going to turn 1 in less than a month! We are throwing a big bash to celebrate with close family & friends. I was really excited to design some fun invites to set the tone for the very gentleman-ly day, complete with a felt tie to wrap the invite together. Come back later for some fun photos from the day!

Mark The Dates

I recently did a whole bunch of 'Mark' the date book mark designs for Pondie and Mark. I think they all turned out pretty rad!

Swap Meet

Dudes, have you seen this? Blu Dot is trading their amazing furniture goods for your goodies. Some of the stuff on there is hilarious and awesome. We put in a bid for a collection of 10 different Journey Journals for a floor lamp. Click here to give it a thumbs up!

Eighties Love

I have been really loving 80's stuff lately. Actually, I always love 80's stuff, who am I kidding? Which makes me really excited for the new Strokes album...dang, look at that cover art!
