Georgia's First Birthday

When Georgia's mom Sarah explained that she wanted to do an Alice in Wonderland theme for her daughter's first birthday, we spent some time brainstorming how it was going to work. Georgia's birthday is in the middle of winter and they live in Canada, where they have REAL winter. 

From there it became and Alice in WINTER Wonderland theme and we had a blast with it.

Invitation:

We also created little tags and sign for just about everything at Georgia's party. Sarah set up a hot chocolate buffet with snacks.

Guests were asked to write some well wishes and "growing up" advice on a card and put it inside the teapot. It was packed away for Georgia to read on her 18th birthday.

Yummy candy buffet favors.

Happy Birthday Georgia!!!

Tommy's Holiday Card

I had already designed and printed our family's holiday cards when we discovered the awesomeness of Santa photos with FotoFly; a photography studio local to us in Salt Lake City. They have one of the parents dress up in the Santa costume and then do more unique poses that don't show Santa's face. Doing this means the kids (especially babies & toddlers) are more likely to be more comfortable in front of the camera when they're in the arms of a parent... and the parent is more likely to get a few awesome photos. 

Because I wanted to share the photos we got of our son, I printed a dozen of "his" Christmas card to send to grandparents and some of his friends.

Merry Christmas!

Tyler's 1st Birthday

Ty's mommy and daddy called him their little bug, so it was only fitting that they do a bug theme for his first birthday. We had So. MUCH. FUN with this party and I think you can tell by looking at how great everything looked. 

To add the "bites" in the invitation, we used a scalloped circle punch that you can purchase at almost any craft store. Tyler's mommy, Lindsey also used the punch on green paper plates at the party.

These labels were adhered to baby food jars and filled with goodies as favors and also on water bottles.

Lindsey got a bunch of these small bug catcher boxes for the kids in attendance and this is the favor tag I made for them.

Awesome pennant banner!

The food signs we created were supposed to fold in half and stand on their own, but the wind that day had other plans. They still turned out cute!

Lastly, we created a high chair banner and a t-shirt graphic that Lindsey ironed onto Ty's t-shirt.
