The Littlest Funk blog: Emma Turns One

Clearly, I am a procrastinator. I just realized (as I was getting Emma's 2nd birthday post ready) that I never talked about her 1st birthday! It was so much fun and Emma had such a great time!

We had originally planned on going with a fun, girly, pink and gold theme BUT I am so glad we (I) changed my mind and went with a Pink Lemonade Party. The colors were bright and it was perfect for a hot, May birthday in Florida. Emma had such a great turn out from her friends and family and I hope she can look back on this and know just how much she is loved!

Here are some photos from her party, where to get supplies and a few DIYs :)

Popcorn Boxes :: Hobby Lobby / Gold Cake Stand :: Home Goods / Pink and Yellow Treat Pails :: Amazon / Striped and Polka Dot Treat Bags :: The Party Fairy

Lemonade Stand built by my amazing neighbor! / Banner :: BirdieBabyBoutique / Drink Dispenser :: Walmart / Chalkboard tags :: Jane / Straws :: Hobby Lobby

Water Bounce House was an amazing idea!

Vintage High Chair found at a local thrift shop for $20-Chose not to paint it, but still loved the way it looked!

Vanilla cupcakes with Lemon Curd center and Strawberry icing-YUM! (We had chocolate and buttercream for the kids ;)

DIY Backdrop:: I took pink plastic tablecloths and used a rotary cutter to cut 2-inches strips about 2-3 feet long. We took string and tied it from one end of the room to the other and just folded to tablecloth over to have a "decorative" background. You can find another way to do this here. (and probably a better explanation!)

DIY One Banner:: This one is so easy! As you can see, I'm not the most creative or very good at decorating. This party is not exactly what you see on Pinterest, but I loved the way it looked and Emma will never know the difference! Haha! Anyhow, I just took card-stock purchased from Joann's, cut out the letters and glued them onto the back pieces, punched holes and tied them onto the high chair. Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy!
