So we had the very first birthday party in our home last weekend. I had about a million different ideas for Kaylee's party. I love a well-organized good DIY party. I just searched around the whole internet to see what theme we should land on. My requirement is just easy to DIY since I didn't plan to spend a lot on purchasing decorations while I can just print and cut. And finally I landed on SPRINKLES. I was inspired by some beautiful sprinkle parties over Kara's Party Ideas. I mainly got the ideas from this and this. I have always had a love for colors so Sprinkles would be a great theme to start with.

I went birthday shopping long before Kaylee's birthday party, just wanting to make sure I got everything in hand before the real thing happens. And I was so grateful about that. Her birthday dress is from Cute Heads. The most adorable dress I have ever seen, even though I didn't get to snag enough photos.



We chose our home as the venue to hold the party. It was the most correct decision I've been made. Stranger anxiety is what I am always afraid when families and friends coming over to celebrate her birthday. And Kaylee just broke out to a new level that day. She cried, cried, and cried. I was so exhausted, as well as her dad. And we even did not get time to welcome and hang out with our guests (apologies!). But hey after she sat in her high chair, things went smoothly. I just thought that she felt security at home and in her high chair. Another advantage I was taking is that I can decorate whatever and however I want.
