Sneak Peak: Miss L's First Birthday Party

Pin It Even though Miss L won't be turning one for about another month and a half, I've started making decorations for her birthday party.  The theme: Vintage Cupcake (and no, the cupcakes themselves will not be vintage)!  We will be serving cupcakes in lieu of cake and there will be many vintage touches. 

 

I am making tissue paper rose bouquets for the dessert table and maybe the mantel (?) Not sure yet! See a tutorial on making tissue paper flowers.

I found a beautiful  vintage tablecloth in Allen, MI (one of my fave antiquing towns).  The tablecloth inspired the party colors: light pink, dark pink, and blue.

Large vintage looking cloth cupcake napkins will adorn the main table and maybe food table(?)  I bought these at a store in Shipshewana, IN.

I found these cupcake inspired treat bags at the dollar bin at Target!  Score!


I think the key to throwing a inexpensive themed party is planning ahead of time.  I've been on the look out for months for cupcake themed items, so I've been able to snag things pretty cheap or wait until they go on sale.

This party is going to be so cute! Too bad she's not old enough to actually remember any of it! :)
