Birthday Decor

We celebrated Mason's First Birthday at The Little Gym and it was a joy! We love everything Dr. Seuss. Mason was Thing 1 and Phan Thing 2.  We had a mini dessert table for the kids and it was a big hit.   The shirt Mason wore and my husband, I ordered from Etsy. 

 My Truffula Trees were made out of tissue papers. They were basically flower pom poms but I stuck a stick from Ikea on the back.  My husband used the pipe cleaner wire to hold the pom poms. I purchased rocks from Dollar Tree and stuck them in some vases my friend bought at a dollar store for the Truffula Trees to stand. I ordered Dr. Seuss ribbon from etsy because there was a sale and I just put the ribbion around various jars. I used hot glue on some of the vases to hold the ribbion and then towards the end I used tape :) We ran out of the glue gun sticks!

Some fun chocolate sixlets and gumballs to bring out the color theme of the party

Multi-colored goldfish crackers in reference to the book:

I made Marshmallow pops out of white chocolate and dipped them in Red & Turquoise sprinkles! Such a easy recipe.  I just stuck the sticks in styrofoam and wrapped it up with wrapping paper.

Animal Crackers in reference to the book If I Ran a Zoo

Mason's Birthday cake, with his smash cake on the very top, made by Calling All Cakes in Arlington, TX

My husband printed out the labels for the candy from Kinkos. We also printed little book images but we forgot to buy little stands so we only displayed 1 little book.  The Cat in The Hat.  The lollipop stand I made from a styrofoam cone and used ribbion to wrap around and needles to hold in the back. I stuck lollipops I ordered from amazon to the cone. I was so proud of the lollipop stand! 

Delicious homemade cupcakes compliments of Phantastic cupcakes

I loved his party! I'm not very crafty but our friend Gabby is. All of his banners were made by her excluding the monthly banner. She did such a great job!
