Lily’s first birthday party was a ton of fun. First I chose a color scheme to coordinate everything. I think choosing colors for any party only takes a little effort but makes a huge difference.
We sent out invitations to 16 of Lily’s closest baby friends. It sounds like a lot, but we actually didn’t invite anyone in our play group because I feel like if you invite 1 you have to invite all 20. I used Microsoft Publisher to make the invitations, and then printed them as a 5×7 photo at Costco.
I got cat and dog finger puppets

to use as cupcake toppers. It made decorating really easy, and the kids loved that they got a toy out of it too. They looked great displayed on the cupcake tree I made

I used a couple of the finger puppets to decorate her cake as well.
We set the favors I made

out for each kid to take home.
I also made a birthday party dress for her as well in the colors I had chosen. I used the pattern I made

We didn’t plan any formal games, but moved our “Dr. Pepper table” (we don’t drink coffee) to create an open space for the babies to play in. I brought out a lot of Lily’s toys and they all had a fun time playing.
