Everyone knows the famous song, if you don't know, now you know!! I took this theme I saw on Pinterest and ran with it 110% He was literally not even 1 month old when I knew that this is what I was going to do for his 1 year old birthday party. I know super sickening.. lol I can't help it I love a party.
So, the night before his party - he of course had a runny nose all of a sudden and his eyes had gunk in it (I was wreck for more than 1 reason lol ) 1. I did not want my little guy to be sick 2. allll this party prep was about to be a waste (so selfish right?) If you are as extra as me when it comes to celebrating the people you love, then you get it. Long story short, the party went off with a bang and all was well for Mr. Sutton Banks. So, I will try to upload below some of the party stuff and where I was able to locate them at. Here is snip of my Pinterest board that a lot of my ideas built off of. https://www.pinterest.com/SloanDwyer/suttons-first-bday/
It's like a modern meets farmhouse + touch of gangster for a birthday party... all in one to get the best look for the party. I got the table cloths off of the lovely amazon of course.. linked here. They honestly made the table set up complete. I just used chairs from dining room lol and then regular folded chairs. Glass jars from a flea market because who doesn't love a good deal. The crib with all his photos was easily my favorite part of the whole birthday party along with the mimosa bar "now we drink champagne when we thirsty"
For his cake smash and high chair decor, I just got some chain from our local hardware store and tacked it on there! The balloon garlands are my go to for any gathering or party that I throw. They just jazz up a party so much. All of this is also possible because of my bestie, Marlee and her bad skills with her circuit! All in all, this day was so special and worth the late night work and months of planning and gathering materials. I also snagged a (linked) cute crown and gold chain for his photoshoot for 1 year birthday party photos.
Another favorite thing that I did for his party was come up with some fun fitting + silly food names to go with the notorious b.I.g. themed birthday party. Example, doughnut$, sicker than your average cheese & crackers, style & grace choc. cake, making money macaroons.. haha ok, I am done.

It's all good baby, baby!!
