Anyhooooo, Nina hosted a fabulous party for her little boy, and while mine pales in comparison, I was able to incorporate many of her ideas!
High Chair -
My sis-in-law, Jan, came through in a big way on this one! I mentioned this idea to her when we were at the beach a few weeks ago and she asked her mother-in-law {who buys and sells antiques}. Her MIL actually had one that she was getting rid of so Jan bought it for Hampton for his birthday!! I spray painted it with Valspar Classic Red.
Balloons-
Bought wholesale through MSR Wholesale Balloons Search under Latex Balloons for
Big Polka Dots Jewel Assortment - 16 inch. I also blew them up myself with a helium tank purchased at Wal-Mart, but I've also seen them at Target. The tank blew up roughly 15 sixteen inch balloons.
Party Hat-
Ordered from Dainty Couture on Etsy.
Cupcakes-
Decided to make my own cupcakes which always sounds like a great idea until I am elbow-deep in batter the day before the party. BUT I have to say they turned out wonderfully! Served two kinds...Mazola Oil and Funfetti
I also bought my buttercream frosting from Sam's. They sell lots of colors in the bakery and of course, it's Sam's so the container is huge. Like 12lbs huge. However, the lady told me it would last for well over a month. I am also going to see how it freezes!
Gifts-
Also thought it might be helpful to give you a few gift ideas for a one year old...here are his favorites in no particular order..
Favorite Team Apparel...
Hamp got his first jersey and a precious hoodie!
Puzzles
Soft golf clubs {couldn't find link}
Hope that helps! If you have any more questions, just leave a comment or send me an e-mail!
