Well, we did it! We pulled off what was essentially a mini wedding, complete with the ENTIRE family in town (including not one, but two great-grandmas). But it was all so worth it, for the memories alone. It was so amazing so have our families, friends, and all of M’s adorable little baby buddies that we’ve gotten to know and love over the last year together to celebrate a year of her amazing life (and a year of us being parents). Let’s face it, babies don’t remember their 1st birthday parties, and honestly, 1st birthdays are really a big “we did it!!” for the parents, and an excuse for some great photos that we can all look back on for years to come.
Boho 1st Birthday Inspiration
Well our little butterbean is 11 months, which means the count down to her first birthday has officially begun!
We’ve been knee-deep in party planning, and I have to say, I think throwing kids’ parties is going to be an unexpected perk of this whole motherhood thing.
The theme we’re going with is sort of a boho floral, which will go perfectly with our party location at a park in the Santa Monica mountains. I’m picturing wildflower crowns, dreamcatchers, a teepee, and a beautiful naked cake (gluten-free and vegan of course) topped with pale pink blossoms.
We’re collaborating with Minted on this lovely little shindig, and I am so beyond in love with all their adorable kids’ party invites and party decorations!
I can’t wait to put the whole thing together and share the photos from the big day!
In case you’re planning your own shindig.. Minted has a sweet 4th of July sale going on that ends today!!
