Vintage Hot Air Balloon 1st Birthday Party

This splendid VINTAGE HOT AIR BALLOON FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Camila Grisales Barsotti.

A few of my favorite elements & party ideas in this vintage hot air balloon party are:

The hot air balloon cookie pops
The scrapbook collage favor bags
The hot air balloon 3D cupcake toppers
and MORE!

Here’s what Camila said about planning the party- “This was my son Lorenzo’s baptism / 1st birthday party. I am Brazilian, my husband American and my son was born in the US. My family is in Brazil so I wanted Lorenzo’s first birthday and baptism to be there. I have decided on this theme because of the multicutural background my son has – me as an Italian decent and my husband being Cuban/Colombian/American just add up for this awesome international ancestry my son has :) I contacted Fabiana Moura Projetos Personalizados with my theme already in mind. After many emails we decided on a color palette and all the details from the kids to the cake tables. The kids table was done by me. I printed the placemats on the internet and made all the details for the kids using washi tape, fun balloon themed tags that I custom ordered from Esty and fun striped straws. I also made the kids goodie bags with paper bags covered with world themed craft paper. It was a very fun project and I loved the way it came out. Inside each bag we gave the kids a kit with a little fun note pad, crayon holder, crayons and fun balloon stickers. For The cake table I brought some vintage items from the US and also used some vintage items from my family. Fabiana came up with the amazing cake table decor. Each adult table had a balloon, custom made by Fabiana and it was very very cute! The party was a hit and each and every detail was to die for! I really appreciate Fabiana’s vision and her Ability to make my dream come true with exchange of emails :). I couldn’t ask for anything better or more beautiful!”

Safari + Jungle Themed Birthday Party

This delightful SAFARI JUNGLE THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted and styled by Natalia of Lacos and Acucar.

This safari party has so many intricate details and fabulous ideas! This theme would also be an adorable baby shower!

A few of the things that stand out the most to me in this darling party are:

The fondant elephant cupcake toppers
The party favors displayed like they’re in a souvenir shop
The amazingly intricate candy coated apples
and MORE!

Here’s what Natalia said about planning the party- “The safari theme was chosen by the mother because she loves elephants. She asked me to make a very cute and nice table with different kind of sweets, so that’s what we did. The safari bag shaped treats are honey cakes covered by chocolate, the animal heads are chocolate truffles and the little animals close to the cake are done by chocolate only. We also did a very cute banana bottle decor with little monkeys. Special attention for the cupcakes by making the fondant elephant toppers. They were so cute.”

Circus Themed 1st Birthday Party

This fabulous CIRCUS THEMED FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Karyn Amado of Sweet & Clever.

I have a soft spot for circus themed parties, so there are so many things that I love about this one! So many cute carnival party ideas! A few of my favorite elements are:

The circus tent shaped cake
The mini paper fans used as clown collars on the clown cupcake toppers
The ferris wheel candy holder
and MORE!

Here’s what Karyn said about planning the party- “This dessert table was created for my friend’s grandson, Dominic for his 1st birthday party. The circus theme was a challenge but I ended up having fun crafting and doing lots of DIYs like the ferris wheel, merry-go-round and the clown head cupcake holder. It was a labor of love. The printables were created and designed by my ever supportive hubby. Sweet treats on the dessert table included vegan chocolate cupcakes, cake pops and cake created by Dominic’s aunt.”
