Since Jack was born around the Fourth of July I knew that I wanted to do red, white, and blue for this first birthday. We went with a crab theme and did a seafood boil.
I designed the invitations, address labels, and envelope liners.
Smash Cake
The cake and cupcakes came from Sam's. I added the ric rac border around the cake and made the bunting.
PB&J sandwiches for the kiddos


The buckets were filled with red or blue bubbles, a punching ball balloon, and red & blue glow sticks. I used the same label that is around the jar of straws around the bubbles. I forgot to take a picture of those.





It was hard to get a good picture of his monthly photos.



I'll have to do another post of Jack with his cake and of family. I had so much fun planning this party!
