We also got balloons, and we found a relatively cheap helium tank via a Michaels coupon. I splurged on some pricier balloons that I liked, it that could have been scaled back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-party-decorations-1st-birthday#post-2412119 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 00:44:55 +0000 littlejoy 2412119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The shirt is perfect!!!

Great ideas. I just got 2 Christmas garlands at Target that would be cute. </p> [attach=5281/16/o0kfsc.337x600.image.jpg] [attach=5281/16/o0kfsd.337x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-party-decorations-1st-birthday#post-2411851 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 19:43:52 +0000 jhd 2411851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i bought a felt happy birthday banner from target and plan to use that every year. we also put up his monthly pics with primary colored stars cut from cute scrapbook paper and got balloons. the dessert table was decorated with more pics of LO and his name in wooden letters from Michael's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-party-decorations-1st-birthday#post-2411818 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 19:18:50 +0000 MamaCate 2411818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a cloth happy birthday banner from target for lo's first birthday and we use it for every party. We just did that and hung up her monthly pictures and then called it a day! Ding know if that is possible at a pizza place? Balloons are a good idea too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-party-decorations-1st-birthday#post-2411796 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 18:53:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2411796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinwheels in a colored vase or can wrapped in construction paper could make centerpieces and double as favors for LOs or LOs-at-heart.</p> <p>Near her highchair or where you have the cake set up you can put a few balloons- "1" and some colorful ones.</p> <p>Funny enough I have thought about hosting something for my baby at my favorite pizza restaurant. I don't think I'd put him in a pizza shirt or red checkered shirt similar to the tablecloths (my place may actually use white linens- we order take out all the time). Hmm...pizza is kind of casual so maybe just a cute dress in colors that will match her cake? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-party-decorations-1st-birthday#post-2411786 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 18:42:56 +0000 autumnlove 2411786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Balloon garlands are easy and don't require helium. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-party-decorations-1st-birthday#post-2411782 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 18:38:32 +0000 youboots 2411782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having a birthday party for T at a pizza place. I don't want to go crazy with decor, but I would love a few ideas. Also what should I dress her in? I found a cute pizza shirt on etsy but it's expensive, I'm not convinced. </p>
