So let me start off this post, fully cognizant of the fact that I have gone over board. Yes, I do know that he is 1, and therefore will not remember this party. Yes, I do know that he would be totally happy with a pudding cup and his favorite video of "Your baby can read." Nonetheless, I am more than ecstatic, and I cannot help but channel all of the excitement and joy into party planning.
So... as you can see above this is the mod board. We are doing an ice cream party. Mostly, because I couldn't figure out how I could feed a bunch of babies with only two high chairs, and a relatively small town house. However, this will not dampen the festivities.
The invitation, which I sent out today, was done on shutterfly. The ice cream picture, is actually gelato, but that is all semantics actually I believe it is the fat content of the dairy product, but whatever. The back of the invite promised bibs... which will be an interesting craft project. I will either be sewing ice cream cones or ironing on depending on the material.
So once we decided on the theme and the place (our house) I figured out the menu...

Craft projects are occuring daily, so I will be sure to post. Tomorrow night my sister and I will be ordering pizza, watching chick flicks, and probably hot glued to the table downstairs. I would like to say, I married a very giving and patient husband to sacrifice his man cave to his wife's DIY insanity. Wow, to think how successful I would be if I channeled this energy productively :)
Happy Crafting!
