A Simple and Sweet 1st Birthday Party

We celebrated Maggie’s first birthday last weekend with a simple and sweet 1st birthday party! For both of our littles, we decided that a big bash on the first birthday wasn’t our vibe, so we just had immediate family, dinner, and a cake that baby can get messy with. I thought I’d share a few snaps of Maggie’s celebration.

We did a little balloon garland with tassels because she loves both of those things (one of her first words was balloon!). I pinned up some printed Instagram photos of her, and set out our pink letter board with a fun little message. Most of our other party supplies came from Shop Sweet Lulu — they just have the cutest selection of stuff, from balloons to candles to plates and more. I’ll have tutorials coming soon for the cake and topper, the balloon garland, and the homemade marshmallows (which were deeeeelicious). Happy birthday, little one! xoxo

P.S. Try a DIY ball pit at your next 1st birthday! It’s a total slam-dunk.
