since we did a baseball nursery for ben,
we decided to have that be the theme for his
1st birthday.
the invitation
decorations and details
sign sending people to the backyard
happy birthday banner
it's hard to get a good picture because it was so long!
i alternated pictures of him at each month
and the letters of happy birthday
the food
home plate cake
i set up a concession stand out of
two windows in our porch
the desserts
i made the cake pops, cake and chocolate marshmallows
the cookies are from just-iced on etsy
the ballpark concessions
the cotton candy cones were a big hit...
but the hot dog vendor made the party!
i am one banner
games
pin the ball on the bat
perfect pitch
(try to throw 4 balls through the hoop)
pinata
party favors
bats and assorted balls
his shirt says BEN
and then around the ball says "i am one" & "birthday boy"
i ordered it from my personalized tshirt on etsy
she also made the custom shirts from ben's birth announcement.
it was very rainy all day so i didn't get to decorate the yard as much as i would've liked. but it didn't rain during the party so i'm not complaining!
a couple ideas that i didn't do:
*vases with dirty baseballs and a ribbon around
*play a baseball game and have t-shirts made up
*a scoreboard made to look like the one at wrigley field
*have all the guests sign a baseball
ben's 1st birthday is coming up, and we are doing a baseball theme since that is how we decorated his nursery.
and thought they'd be perfect! i also used the walls in his room as inspiration for the colors. (check it out:http://bethkruse.blogspot.com/2010/02/baseball-room.html )
my sister is great and is (patiently) teaching me how to use illustrator. so this is my first real attempt....well i attempted and then she redid everything! actually she walked me through it but then had to do some work to make it a bit more printable. i don't know, something about my photos being about 10,000 times too big. whatever. i used to change her diapers so she owes me.
i am so excited about all the plans for this party so check back soon to see all the details!
i'm also hoping it will motivate some of the house projects i've been meaning to finish...er...start!
