We didn't get very many good pictures of LO since she's teething, but it was still a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again for the next 17 years. (: </p> <p>I tried not to take pictures on my phone, but here's what I do have (: I'll post more later. How was every one else's parties??

I love it! (:<br /> We're trying to get pictures done next week so we can use them for our Christmas cards but who knows if it will happen :/ </p> <p>@fancyfunction: I love the headband, I'm a huge fan of statement head pieces (: I got LO a top hat, but no ideas on how to make it work as a headband. I hope it comes out half as cute as yours. </p> <p>I want to see pictures of all these parties. I hope everyone will come back and share (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-headquarters-december-2012/page/2#post-1235506 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:16:52 +0000 tinyperson 1235506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellocupcake: our photo shoot is the morning of the party, so she'll be wearing the same dress. She'll probably wear the same one for Christmasy events too! We got this pretty one cheap from Joe Fresh.</p> <p>I'm still working on decorations, but things are moving along. Is it ok that I'm in denial that she's turning one in two weeks? I still can't believe it! </p> [attach=3240/13/mwo505.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-headquarters-december-2012/page/2#post-1235483 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:09:53 +0000 fancyfunction 1235483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellocupcake: I actually bought a headband at the dollar store and had some fabric flowers from Michaels which I glued on with a hot glue gun. I also added some glitter stars that I cut from thick stock glitter paper also from Michaels. :) </p> [attach=3567/13/mwo4oj.448x600.IMG_4498.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-headquarters-december-2012/page/2#post-1235163 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 03:27:04 +0000 hellocupcake 1235163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: yay, I think we decided to use the same dress for both too :) How did you do her headband?!? I'm trying to figure out what kind of headband will match her dress. I should post it and get help (:</p> <p>@rattles: Already next week?! Ah. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-headquarters-december-2012/page/2#post-1224662 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 15:30:06 +0000 rattles 1224662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've put together a slideshow that'll play on our tv, made a banner for the dining room, put together a play list and decorated some water bottles to look like melted snowmen. I still need to put together the banner with her monthly pictures to go in the living room. I've also made the menu and purchased her favors. I can't believe it's a week from Sunday! With Thanksgiving in the middle, I suddenly feel out of time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-headquarters-december-2012/page/2#post-1214997 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 01:11:06 +0000 rawrasaur 1214997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have most things set. Just need to finish DIYing a few decorations and decide on some food (and of course make/prepare it). </p> <p>I did a first round of 1 year photos the other day, but A quickly melted down so we will try again another day when we have good weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-headquarters-december-2012/page/2#post-1214949 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 23:39:34 +0000 fancyfunction 1214949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellocupcake: We're using the same outfit for both events. Our photo shoot is the week before her party. I figured I'd like her to get some wear out of it. :)</p> <p>I finished making the B-day banner (but need to add monthly pics), cake bunting and DIY'ed a headband. I made a list of all items we'll need for our menu so I think I'm in a good place but can't believe how close it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-headquarters-december-2012/page/2#post-1214945 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 23:31:16 +0000 hellocupcake 1214945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The invites have been sent, her outfit has been purchased, the food has been ordered (well, in-laws said they were ordering it this week), we are now focusing on details. I'm so excited! </p> <p>How are you guys doing? </p> <p>Also, would it be weird if we use her birthday dress for our family photo shoot this year? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-headquarters-december-2012/page/2#post-1208782 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:03:08 +0000 rattles 1208782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: So fun!

Jealous!</p> <p>We're doing a winter onederland too, with pale pink and white decorations and an emphasis on snow/snowmen. I've been collecting all sorts of ideas, but now I'm realizing how soon it's coming (3 weeks from Sunday?!), I'm starting to actually get cracking. We went with these invites from Tiny Prints.</p> <p>[attach=2013/13/mvul5e.419x309.onederful-life.jpg] </p>
