Giuliana's bday

Giuliana turned 1! OMG, this was such an exciting day for us and I planned for a few weeks what I wanted to do. I basically was glued to Pinterest for a few hours every day trying to decide on the perfect decor.

I settled on a pink lemonade theme and it was so cute. We had play stations with all the wonderful gifts Giuli received from family before the big day.

This turtle was the hit of the party.

I got most of the pom poms from The Dollar Tree (they're great for party supplies) and the others I got from a generous mom. Hobby Lobby was running a 50% off sale on most of these super cute lemonade items, so I got pretty lucky. 

To make matters even better, I received a coupon for a free Shutterfly photo book a week before the party. We had done a photo shoot and it was perfect timing. 

Since most of the guests were babies, I got these non toxic bubbles from Toys R Us as favors, and then ordered these personalized stickers from Chicabug. She sells all sorts of cute party supplies and decor. I highly recommend her. 

The party was mid-afternoon and we offered light snacks and pastries, as well as baby finger foods for the littlest ones. I got these raspberry lemonade cupcakes from Sweet Daddy Cupcakes. They were soo good!

The final detail, and one of my favorite decor items, was this amazing poster I ordered from Princess Snap. I got the file and was super easy to print at Costco.com. 

Overall, I'd say it was a pretty successful one-year old party. There were minimal tears and lots of giggles. Giuliana was excited and we were beyond proud of our little girl.
