Woodland Birthday Party: Abigail’s 1st Birthday
All of the food revolved around my “fall/woodsy” theme and were all named after animals from the Baby Bear book.

Woodland Birthday Party Favors:
Party favors were small baggies filled with rattan and 3 cookies. A pumpkin, an acorn, and a woodland creature.
 Mama and the birthday girl!
Ladies, do yourself a favor and marry a man who is happy and willing to help you achieve your insane Pinterest visions.
Here is my man carving out an apple for me to fill with caramel sauce.
Yep. He’s a keeper.
I just LOVED Abigail’s birthday dress. It was a tweed type material and just absolutely adorable. It was a babyGap eBay find.
She pretty much hates being the center of attention. As you can see.
 The big 1st birthday splurge! A super cute and fancy cake.
Woodland Birthday Party Theme Cake:
Abigail’s smash cake!
 
 I had to include this picture. You know you have yourself a fun, silly, and awesome uncle if he’s willing to ride around in your wagon with you. Haha!
The red wagon was the big birthday gift winner of the day. We spent the next few weeks pulling it in the circle through our house….constantly.
We’re still using it, so it was a great investment.

Abigail’s Great Grandma- My Mimi!

Abigail’s 1st woodland birthday party was absolutely perfect. We had such a fun time getting everyone together and celebrating our sweet girl.
This party totally stoked the flame for my love of birthday party planning and it has only developed and grown since. Thanks a heap Pinterest! *As my husband audibly groans*
What an adorable party! 🙂 1st birthday parties are always so much fun! I love that you're recapping them!!
Thank you! All birthday parties are fun! I'm a sucker for everything about them 🙂
These photos are so precious. I love the Happy Birthday banner and all the little snacks!
Thanks, Sarah!
I love the banner too! We used it last year also and I'm sure we'll probably use it again this year too! The shop owner was great to work with. She gave me a discounted price in addition to a fb coupon code, which helped make it a super deal!
OH MY GOSH!!!! So stinking cute!!! I love all these pictures, your handwriting on the food cards is gorgeous & that cake is DIVINE!!! (And props to hubby for going along with Pinterest ideas) *my hubby rolls eyes*
Thank you, Tausha! Haha! Oh yes, those poor, poor hubbas 😉
Adorable party! That cake is just to die for!
Thanks, Kara! I loved that cake 🙂 It was also nice having someone else make it. We made last year's and are crazy enough to attempt it again this year.
Sounds like party of the year.
Hopefully Katies 1st goes off with just as much of a bang. =)
Ha! I don't know about party of the year 😉 It was fun though!
Good luck with your crazy week of party prep!
Omgoodness! Do we share the same Birthday!? Remember, Remember the 5th of November!
That's awesome!! *cues up 1812 overture*
We always tell our friends that quote when we say when her birthday is. Hilarious!
How awesome is this?! Come help me plan Levi's first bday please!! Lol
Totally! You give me your theme and I will supply you with an endless amount of ideas. I love birthday parties!!
So cute!! Tell me all of your fave etsy shops for parties and your timeline for planning (like a month orlore in advance?)
Hmm. Well, I typically include the links to where I buy everything. If there isn't a link I didn't buy it online(or didn't buy it and just used something I already had).
A month in advance is typically when I really crack down on planning(unless we're talking about the baby shower I just threw. That was more like a week before that I did everything!)
Such a great party theme! You rocked it, Mama!
