{real parties} lemonade & sunshine first birthday

Party girl: Natalie

Celebration: First Birthday Party

Theme: Lemonade & Sunshine

Color Palette: Bold Yellow & Pink

Inspiration: Lemonade & Sunshine Party

Natalie contacted me about creating a "brighter/bolder" version of the Lemonade & Sunshine party invitation I'd created for my girls.

She was planning a Lemonade & Sunshine themed FIRST birthday party for her daughter Brooke.

and wanted an invitation with a bold color scheme with a more vibrant, fun, one-year old vibe.

Here's what we came up with...

a "bold & brilliant" lemonade & sunshine party invitation

With the invitation and party accessories created...

it was up to Natalie to pull things together.

Wow.

I was super impressed by the attention to detail - I think you will be too:

Natalie did a spectacular job of sticking to the theme & color palette throughout every detail of the party.

Some of my favorite elements include:

• the backdrop she created

• the tissue poms hung from the trees to create a magical setting

• the coordinating table and chairs

• the adorable ice cream cones & vibrant treats used on the dessert table

• the welcome sign at the front door entry

• the birthday banner draped behind one of the food tables

This party makes me happy for so many different reasons.

The colors alone invoke a feeling of joy/celebration and just scream "HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!"

Happy First Birthday to the adorable birthday girl Brooke...
