Hawaiian Girly Duck Party

This was my VERY FIRST birthday party.  It does not wow me, but I wanted to share anyway in case you see something that might spark ideas for your own Hawaiian Luau.  My oldest daughter turned 1 back in October 2006!  Time flies, but anyway here are some photos I wanted to share....

The invitation was designed by my friend, Nicole.

The piñata was by far my favorite thing of this party!  It was BIG!!!

The cake was super cute!!  It was made by a friend of a friend.....sorry no website :(

Birthday girl wore an original Hawaiian dress that grandma bought for her in Hawaii.

 Mommy and daddy wore Hawaiian outfits as well.  Note- I'm pregnant with my second girl already....ha!

All the party decorations were purchased at Oriental Trading.  I printed this duck and glued it on yellow paper treat bags for the kids.  They looked adorable, but don't have a photo to show you.

 

This is all my friends!  Nothing exciting, but wanted to show you what my first party looked like.  I have come a LONG ways with my parties..... stay tuned.  I'll share little sister's cupcake party next!  Have a great weekend!!!

Bunny & Lollipops Party

I will be sharing my daughters parties over the next week.  I will start with little sister's FIRST birthday!  She was born in April.  It happens to be close to Easter.  I love Spring, especially here in Arizona :)  

The theme for her first birthday was: Bunny & Lollipops

I LOVE the invite.  This was designed and purchased from Memories Too.

Her dress was purchased on a website online, but I can't remember the name.  I know I've seen this same dress at Kohl's.  Her sandals were purchased at a local "Carter's" store.  My mom made her matching bows.

 I asked my mom to draw the same bunny with the lollipop on a t-shirt for her to wear for her professional photos.  This is what she came up with.  I really liked how it turned out.  I just bought some pink shorts at Target for her to wear....

 This is by far one of the largest piñatas we've had!  You can see her birthday banner behind the piñata.  It was designed and purchased in Mexico.

 

This lollipop tree was an inspiration from Summerlyn at Memories Too.  She shared some photos of her son's party.  I copied some of her ideas.  I bought the lollipops from Oriental Trading.  The stickers were purchased from DDH Favors. 

 

Here's a photo of Summerlyn's lollipop tree....so cute!

 Goody bags for the kids and other party supplies were purchased from Kid's Parties By Lori...

 

The cake was such a wreck!  It was a windy day and traveling to the park with it, was a disaster!  My creative mom made the top bunny for it.

Summerlyn emailed me a photo of her cake and it was fabulous!  This is what the cake should have looked like:

Here's a photo of the cake table...

 
I ordered some chocolate wrappers for candy bars from DDH Favors.  I gave a framed photo of Hannah with a thank you card to every family that came to celebrate with us.

Big sister wore the same bunny t-shirt and pink shorts for the party!

 I hope you are inspired to have a fun bunny lollipop party this Spring!

I spent last weekend at my mom's house in Mexico.  It's just a 4-hour drive from my house.  I love going there not just because I get to see my family, but the food is so yummy! :)
