Caterpillar Baby Einstein Themed 1st Birthday Party

Caterpillar Baby Einstein Birthday Party via Kara's Party Ideas KarasPartyIdeas.com #caterpillar #baby #einstein

This colorful CATERPILLAR BABY EINSTEIN THEMED FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Barbara Rivera & Monica Melendez of Just Imagine.

This caterpillar party is so adorable and would be great inspiration for a Very Hungry Caterpillar or a Baby Einstein party too! A few of my favorite ideas and elements are:

The colorful cake pops lined up to look like a caterpillar
The antennae headband party favors
The paper lanterns and balloons hung to look like colorful caterpillars
and MORE!

Barbara and Monica said this about planning the party- “Our friend wanted a colorful theme birthday party for her son’s first birthday. She likes “The Baby Einsteins” but she only wanted the caterpillar because she didn’t like the others little animals. She also likes ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ but not the colors. So we took both themes and this is what we came up with.”

A Very Bunny 1st Birthday Party

This charming BUNNY THEMED FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Alex Vardakis of Avie & Lulu in Australia.

I love so many things about this bunny party! It would obviously not only be great for a birthday but would work for a Easter party or a baby shower as well. A few highlights to look for are:

The mason jars painted opaque white and used as vases
The gorgeous glass apothecary style drink dispensers
The bunny shaped cookies tied to the sides of milk bottles
The stunning cake complete with cascading sugar flowers and topped with a three dimensional fondant bunny
and MORE!

Alex said this about the party- “My third little girl celebrated her first birthday in April and being around Easter we thought what better than to have a gorgeous pastel themed Easter party! It was a garden party with lots of prettiness and lots of fun!

A special appearance by the Easter Bunny himself was a highlight for the kids, as was the real white fluffy bunny which spent the afternoon hoping around.

A beautiful 2 tier Cake was the show stopper of the dessert table. Made by the talented Sweet Tiers it featured a beautiful Bunny figurine topper. All of the guests were amazed it was fondant and many thought it was a real porcelain figurine. Other treats included buttercream ruffled cupcakes in pastel shades of lemon, pink, mint and blue. And the most amazing and detailed Cookies by the super amazing cookie artist Kookie Krumbs by Kirstie. They were like tiny portraits, delicately detailed and definitely too good beautiful to eat! The children’s setting featured rattan chairs which suited the garden feel to a tea.

Each guest received a keepsake hankie designed by Ham&Pea Paperie which featured the Winnie the Pooh quote ‘You are braver then you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think’.”

Here’s what Brandyce said about the party- “We wanted Brooke’s birthday party to be a memorable one. We had been trying for a 2nd child for over 4 years and when we found out we were having a girl (we already had a boy) I started planning her birthday party! I love chevron and pink! Kara’s Party Ideas gave me inspiration and I was able to tweak to fit our party theme and overall look. I bought some of the items from Kara’s Party Ideas Shop, the chalk board labels from Sprinkled Joy. Simply Party did the food labels, straw flags and the favor stickers. My husband and I designed the chalk board print, the photos around the mason jars and printed all the prints and portraits we had taken of her over the year. My husband is a professional photographer with Studio Benton so he took all the detail images and friends took candid photos for us so we could enjoy the party with our 1 year old! It was a celebration of her 1st year and a Thank You to all our family and friends for supporting us!”
