Jillian said this about the party- “My daughter Willow, is absolutely IN love with Dr. Seuss. She loves the books and the movies. The Lorax and Horton Hears a Who being her favorites. Naturally we decided to theme her 1st birthday with Dr. Seuss. We started the morning just us and our house guests with Green Eggs and Ham! It was delicious!

The invitations. I had some wording help from Pinterest, but designed the whole thing in photoshop. These images and wording are NOT my images please remember this. I only used them for personal use for the invitations.

For the party we kept the colors at blue and red. We had a blue chocolate fountain which was a huge hit! The cake was made and designed by Imagine it Cakes in El Paso, Texas. Every time Willow looked at the cake she giggled, she loved it!

Another idea I grabbed from Pinterest was Moose Juice and Goose Juice, from Dr. Seuss’s The Sleep Book. Conveniently The Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook had the recipes for the juice in it!

I even coordinated the favors! Crayon Rolls, coloring books, and snack bags! I put them in red bags with blue tissue paper. Crayon Roll was made by MrsCraftyRVing and the snack bags were made by Crafts By Diana.

We had everyone sign my daughter’s copy of the book by Dr. Seuss: Happy Birthday to You!”

Dr. Seuss 1st Birthday Party

This darling DR SEUSS THEMED FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Nikka Morell of Triple M Good Parties! I just love all the clever ideas & decor! Nikka did such a good job on every detail!

Nikka said this about planning the party- “When my youngest of three kids turned one this summer, I knew it had to be fun. He is my only summer baby, so I finally got to plan a party outside. My 2 older kids were Thing 1 & Thing 2, and the birthday boy was Cat in the Hat.

I made all the decorations and food. It was fun to make things not so perfect, like an off centered cupcake stand and tall skinny candy jars.

I fell in love with the red, white and teal combination of colors. The ‘real’ Cat in the Hat came to read a book and the kids loved playing all the games, including pin the tail on Horton.”

Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat 1st Birthday Party

My oldest son starts 1st grade today {sniff, sniff} so I thought I would share this amazing DR. SEUSS Cat in the Hat 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Britney Sargent! Oh the things you will see with this feature! SO many adorable ideas that would be perfect for a back to school party, baby shower & more!

Britney said- “Birthdays and special occasions have always been a huge deal in my family and especially with me. I am notorious for throwing over the top and lavish parties when it comes to my oldest son, so when my youngest son, Haston was turning one, I knew that I wanted it to be extra special. I saw a Dr. Seuss cake online and that planted the seed. I decided to go with the entire Dr. Seuss collection as opposed to “Thing one and thing Two” or “Green Eggs and Ham” because I knew I could be a lot more creative if I didn’t limit it to one of those themes. I started planning 8 months in advance which allowed me to pick things up along the way at really reasonable prices. It also allowed me to do extensive research and find so many great and inexpensive ideas, several of which I was able to make myself. I chose a park as the location for the party (Horizons Park in Winston Salem NC). I knew that I wanted it to be outside and I needed a place that was kid friendly where the kids could run free and really enjoy themselves. I hired a photographer to capture all the little moments of the day. I painted 2 large picture frames (one red and one blue) for the guests to hold up with their family members or friends and get photographed. Some of the main attractions at the party were: the truffla trees (made by me with pool noodles and tissue paper) and signs that lined the walkway leading up to the party (it gave the feel as if you were entering a theme park), gift box table tent (from Oriental Trading) where people also wrote keepsake notes to Haston, gift boxes for the kids personalized with pictures of Haston (from Birthday Express), Haston’s birthday banner/highchair banner/all 12 months picture banner (from Etsy: The Party Paper Fairy), his Dr. Seuss birthday hat and matching bib (from Etsy: Dainty Couture), the 3 tiered Dr. Seuss cake (by: Ashlee Hooks), and the themed food, desserts and candy were the MAIN attraction. Some examples of the themed food are: diffendoofer grape salad….green eggs and ham…..sneetch treats, hop on pop, kweet eggs, cheese tree, who-hash, truffula trees, truffula seeds, yertle carmel turtles, roast beast whoiches, wocket chicken pockets, hunches and bunches, poodles and noodles….all the names came from different Dr. Seuss books. All the food had labels that I made with my cricket. The party was a huge success. Everything looked and tasted great, and most importantly, Haston had a ball. It was a ton of work and many many hours were spent on the party but the smile on Haston’s face and the memories that we will have from that day are so worth all the hard work.” Vendors and Credits: Birthday Banner, High Chair Banner, Picture Banner- The Party Paper Fairy Birthday Hat and Bib- Dainty Couture Personalized Favor Boxes- Birthday Express Items in this party that are available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop: Dr Seuss Themed Party Supplies Dr Seuss Hat Cut Outs Cat In The Hat Standing Character Paper Lanterns Mini Baking Cups Decorative Paper Shred Rock Candy, Whirly Pops, and Unicorn Pops Ribbon
