Sock Monkey 1st Birthday Party

One look at this adorable SOCK MONKEY FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Jennifer Laws of The Laws of my Life and you will know why I chose to feature it next. I just love what Jennifer did with this theme! Jennifer said– “Jameson was an unexpected blessing. After having twins we were not sure we could handle one more. (I mean, how could our home even be sanitary enough for a baby!) But, after he came in to this world, we knew GOD had better plans for our family! Jameson has brought so much HOPE, LOVE and JOY to our lives! We could not have made it through such a rough year without his unending smile! This celebration was the perfect way to honor him, celebrate his life and praise God for His wonderfully perfect blessing! When we brought him home he was dressed in his sock monkey embroidered onesie, brown pants, a hand knit hat and socks. He was a sweet baby and the youngest of 3…all under 3! Today, one year later, we are so excited to share with you his first birthday celebration! (And, yes, this crazy party planner mama had the “theme” planned from the beginning!) I decided to incorporate his sock monkey outfit with a “celebration” honoring him, along with a champagne toast and a musical guest! Without further ado, check out Jameson’s First Birthday Celebration!” Vendor Credits: Photography: Jennifer Klotz Photography Jameson’s coming home hat/socks & party shirt: Gray Stitch Studio Invitations: mygatsby.com Party Printables: chickabug Sock Monkey #1 Cake Topper: Waxela Sananda Jameson’s Polka Dot Custom Party Hat and Bib: Dainty Couture Jameson’s Brown/Red Party Hat: Gingham Bunny Cake and Cupcakes: Cakes by Tina Musical Guest: Jeff Wood Catering: Chick-fil-A Party Inspiration: Kara’s Party Ideas

Rose Themed Valentine’s Party

I hope everyone had a wonderful Monday! I just had to share this lovely ROSE THEMED VALENTINE’S DAY PARTY submitted by Virginie Marchi of That Cute Little Cake this evening. I hope you enjoy! Here’s what Virginie said about her party-
“Creating this party table was the perfect excuse to throw a party ! I chose to keep it small and went for the traditional red and white colours. I added dark brown to the palette as chocolate treats where in my opinion a must have for Valentine’s day. 
The theme was to be roses so I made two cakes: a chocolate mud cake covered in glittery roses, and a red velvet cake with piped white buttercream roses. Other treats included vanilla panna cotta with rasberry coulis, chocolate brownies, red velvet cake pops and Bailey’s cheesecakes. Decorations were all homemade too including the paper roses hanging ball.”
