She's in Parties . Remy's Nightmare Before Christmas Birthday Party

This weekend we hosted a 3rd birthday party for my oldest, Remy, that was Nightmare Before Christmas themed.  She has been asking for MONTHS for this, telling me all the specifics she wanted (smiling Jack cake, NOT frowning!). This is the perfect theme for us, being that we already have a gothic fireplace and black and white striped dinnerware...thanks for the $$ savings, kid!  Here are the details for the party, including outfit details.

Zara 1.0

This weekend, Zara turned 1 year old.  Since her 2nd word was "kitty", we went with a cat theme.  We had so much fun with this one.  It was nice that Remy could help decorate for her sister too.  I'm going to include the outfit purchasing information, but if you have any questions about specific decor, feel free to ask! I sourced a lot of things + inspo on my pinterest board, Zara 1.0 Kitty.

She's in Parties: Monster Mayhem

Full disclosure: I used this theme for Remy's first birthday.  You can see the whole process of me "pinning it out" on my Pinterest here.  It's really such a wonderful motif because you can basically stick 100000 googley eyes on everything at it looks amazing.  These 2 pictures above were my starting inspo for the color scheme and party theme (cookie recipe can be found here). It snowballed from here, finding all sorts of things from favors to pillows to party bags.  Below are pictures from the actual party, but if you want any resources feel free to leave a comment or pilfer through my Pinterest board.

Food table. We bought 1 tooth picks and added a gazillion eye stickers to them.

We made a photo area complete with monster pillow. I made our headgear with pom-poms, glue, and google eyes.

Gift Table. Target sells these monster bags…they are BEYOND!

Maybe my favorite element. We cut vampire fangs in half and used them to make donut monsters. SO cheap and easy, but the cute payoff is high. 

We did a little favor station with bubbles, candy, fangs, tattoos and monster pins for the guests. 

First birthday's are a good time to go over the top.  We certainly did…I cannot wait to do Zara's in January! What did you do for your kids' first birthdays?
