First Birthday Party Ideas
A Simple DIY Ladybug Birthday Party
It turns out my baby is officially no longer a baby. “Pink” turned 2 last week. For some reason I was obsessed with the idea of planning a ladybug party. The thing is, I’m not all that crafty. (Pinterest gives me major anxiety!) Oh, I’ve got big ideas, but I know that when it comes down to reality, I have to keep it simple. So I did. And it the party turned out to be the perfect way to celebrate my sweet little ladybug.
If I could do these things, just about anybody can. Really.

Let's Party | Vintage Fiesta First Birthday
Sometimes our most outrageous ideas turn into the most awesome plans. While pregnant, Darci of The Good Life Blog, had a fun idea for her son’s first birthday. She managed to host a vintage-themed fiesta (Spanish for “party”) that was child friendly and in good taste. Never mind the fact that this isn’t a typical first birthday party theme, she executed everything perfectly. From the décor, favors, and the food — wait until you see what she did with the food, everything was muy bueno! Click through for great party inspiration that will have you saying “olé”!
Great take away points from this party include going with a fun theme that you enjoy, even though it may not have been done before. Though a “one” theme is popular, how about trying “un” in French or “ein” in German, for a fun spin? Don’t worry, there isn’t any one way to go about it.
