It was just too much stress.</p> <p>I did:<br /> Invites<br /> Banners<br /> 50 cupcakes, toppers, and the cake (fondant)<br /> Gift table decor<br /> a framed onesie for guests to sign<br /> a 30 minutes video montage of iphone videos I took during his first year (I learned as I went, so this took a loooong time)<br /> Lots more...</p> <p>It was just so much effort..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534162 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 11:10:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 1534162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be DIY for her 2nd pretty much the same things I did for her first:</p> <p>Food (food and cupcakes/cake)<br /> Banners, streamers and other decorations<br /> Invites<br /> Cupcake toppers<br /> Utensil wrappers<br /> Tons of other stuff</p> <p>But I like crafting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534146 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 11:03:02 +0000 78h2o 1534146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! ... and as much as I enjoyed making everything, I don't plan to do it again for her 2nd bday. I am going to hold the 2nd bday away from home... maybe a swam group of kids at a local pool or something. I'm going to start the DIY again when she's old enough to care about a theme, maybe age 3 or 4??</p> <p>If we ever have another LO, I'm not sure if I'd a bunch of DIY projects for his/her first bday... probably, but I'm a little crazy like that! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534141 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 11:00:19 +0000 looch 1534141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the monthly photo banner, the tissue pom caterpillar and the thank you notes (invites done via phone calls).</p> <p>I bought the cake at a bakery and most of the food was either home made or home assembled (thank you Costco). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534139 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:59:47 +0000 sandy 1534139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Banner, invites, food (tons!), photo display, cupcake toppers, bottled water wraps, utensil wrappers... I don't envision doing much DIY for baby #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534127 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:51:34 +0000 Smurfette 1534127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Banner, favors bags, cut out a ton of silver glittery stars, all the other decorations. My friend designed the chalkboard and invitations for me.<br /> I made her smash cake and most of the other food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534124 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:50:51 +0000 rattles 1534124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made a monthly photo banner, a welcome/theme banner, two kinds of garland, favors, and decorated water bottles. I made all of the food and the cake with my mom. DH and I also made a slide show and play list, though I don't know if that counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534114 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:45:20 +0000 mrsjyw 1534114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dol towers, a banner from his 100 day (I made and reused for first bday), chalkboard sign, favor bags (just assembled :P), dol poster, invites, monthly photo setup, etc.</p> <p>Food was too (but my mom and MIL cooked all of it :P) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534108 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:44:14 +0000 edelweiss 1534108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>invites count! i'm not a diy person at all. i "designed" and emailed paperless post invites, made grilled cheese sandwiches and fruit salad, BUT we only had 4 guests. banners, favors, etc. are beyond me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534097 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:39:38 +0000 blackbird 1534097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Invites count :)</p> <p>I did a bday banner and garland, some cake stands, and a lot of the food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-diy-for-yours-party#post-1534043 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:19:39 +0000 autumnlove 1534043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I DIYed a few things for LO 1's 2nd birthday....door decoration, favor bags and banner.</p> <p>I don't want to DIY anything for LO 2's party....does assembling invites (I bought the files on Etsy) count? </p>
