We are down to the wire with ONE month to go before Xavier's First Birthday Party! Pinterest wasn't around back when I had birthday parties (or when I had my wedding, for that matter. Seriously thinking of starting a Pre-Pinterest-Wedding-Support-Group) and I'm shocked at all the cool party ideas out there! So, I picked a theme based on what I would like my birthday party to be, but that's boy appropriate. I want to get my wants out of the way before Xavier starts requesting his!! We decided on blue ombre and gold accents! You saw it here first - A sneak peak at his party invitation...
The invitation was super easy to make. I made it in PowerPoint, using Google images I found of a chalkboard background and gold glitter "1". I saved the final product as a .png file because I've found these file types have higher resolution than .jpg.
ANYWAY.
I have been planning how I would do this party since the day I found out I was pregnant with him (Okay, maybebefore that not that long), and I still feel like I'm not prepared. I just realized that with all the planning I've been doing, the actual BUYING hasn't been happening. It's on this weekend's high priority list.

On to his wish list. Are you ready? Xavier has personally asked for all of these items.
Leap Frog My Discovery House - X is obsessed with pushing buttons to make sounds/things light up.
Ikea play table - only $20?? I love Ikea. And on ikeahackers, they show you how to mount a roll of paper under the table so kids can use as an art table.
P'Kolino Little Sofa - Do they make this for adults?
Plan Toy Punch & Drop
Stay tuned for more party details & budget-friendly decorating tips (this is going to be the coolest party I've ever thrown!). See some more inspiration for my decorating plans here. I'm taking a huge risk and think I'm going to make an ombre smash cake myself. Wish me the biggest luck :)
