I wrapped a tulle roll around a piece of cardboard (I think I counted around 20 wrap arounds for the little one). Slip the whole thing off the cardboard and take a small piece of the same color tulle and tie it around the middle, gathering it all. Then cut the ends and trim. Instant puff ball! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday/page/2#post-1175299 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 17:23:54 +0000 MaisyMay 1175299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: How did you make the poufs?<br /> @Mrs. Blue: I love the Noah's Ark theme - 2 by 2 is perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday/page/2#post-1175269 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 16:51:55 +0000 Mrs. Train 1175269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>James was Sesame Street, Nick and Joe were Westerns, Lilly was neverland (tinkerbell for her and Peter Pan for James).

SO CUTE. I'm so glad you're already thinking about their first birthday - doesn't make me feel so crazy about pinning all of this party stuff lately. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday/page/2#post-1175230 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 16:35:11 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1175230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really have a theme. I just wanted light colors and bought a bunch of tulle to hang up as balls (much cheaper than the paper ones and they're reusable too). Funny thing is, it rained like crazy that day, so I didn't get to do what I planned. But we were only planning to have family over, so it all turned out OK. </p> [attach=1448/13/mv8umo.600x600.image.jpg] [attach=1448/13/mv8umq.600x600.image.jpg] [attach=1448/13/mv8ums.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday/page/2#post-1174992 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 14:37:16 +0000 cmomma17 1174992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: such a great idea!

We did clear plates and cups with black chevron napkins and black chevron straws, everything else was a primary color. We also had clear plastic wear and crystal cake trays. So, I tried to keep it adult themed almost? But then again, we didn't have kids there; just family and no one has kids but us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday#post-1166404 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 14:10:30 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1166404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: So cute!

Mainly because the monthly onesie stickers I got Xander have robots on them, so I can display those pictures as part of my decor! Here's some inspiration pictures (and I'll probably use the etsy shop to get some of the decor too): </p> [attach=340/13/mv3320.509x600.retro-robot-dessert-table-1-welcome.jpg] [attach=340/13/mv3321.423x600.retro-robot-dessert-table-2-cupcake-topper.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday#post-1166311 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 13:45:22 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1166311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did bees because it was the first animal sound he made (at 10 or 11 months)!

I'm debating over two themes, a lil' man mustache theme or a pinwheels theme. Very different, but I think both lends itself to lots of decor ideas. With the pinwheels, I can do lots of bright rainbow colors so that should be easy to do. The mustache theme is very popular right now, but I think mustache straws, necktie sugar cookies, and stuff like that would be really cute for a lil' boy.</p> <p>I get my inspiration from Etsy. I usually just start browsing first birthday banners, see something I like, then go from there.</p> <p>Mustache theme - <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/100373204/little-man-bash-mr-man-birthday-1st?ref=favs_view_1" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/100373204/little-man-bash-mr-man-birthday-1st?ref=favs_view_1</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.karaspartyideas.com/category/kids-parties/boy-parties/little-man-mustache" rel="nofollow">http://www.karaspartyideas.com/category/kids-parties/boy-parties/little-man-mustache</a></p> <p>Pinwheels theme -<br /> <a href="http://www.ontobaby.com/2013/06/festive-1st-birthday-party-with-a-spring-picnic-theme/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ontobaby.com/2013/06/festive-1st-birthday-party-with-a-spring-picnic-theme/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday#post-1166204 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 13:15:40 +0000 bunnylove08 1166204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a carousel themed first birthday party. </p> <p>I choose it because of the location and I love carousels and horses. </p> [attach=3066/13/mv31e5.600x600.2013_09_27_14_11_12_Instagram.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday#post-1166168 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 12:58:48 +0000 MamaJ 1166168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to do vintage race car theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday#post-1166134 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 12:47:40 +0000 birdofafeather 1166134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i'm going to do an arrow and feathers theme! i just started pinning some stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-theme-for-your-los-1st-birthday#post-1166133 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 12:47:08 +0000 Smurfette 1166133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: OMG, that outfit is so stinking cute!
