Strawberry Shortcake Party


Josalin's 1st Birthday party (Strawberry Shortcake)

The theme of my baby's party is Strawberry Shortcake...and not that dolled up new version. I'm talking about the cute original version that I grew up loving. (side note..I really don't know why they had to change her look). Anyway I started with the Internet for ideas and came across so many blogs. One in particular that really inspire me was on this blog http://littlepumpkingrace.com I love her style and how she put it all together.
I really wanted my baby to dress like SS.
I started making the hats.
I served fruit, Veggie plate , and chicken salad with croissants.
The sweet shoppe (strawberry waffers, strawberry oreoes, strawberry whoppers, m&ms, and strawberry shaped marshmallows). The guests Each child got to color a SS page. they also had a craft, and it was putting together your own SS paper doll. All pre-cut by my cricut. I set up a scaled down version of Crockett so they can play.
Grandma and Grandpa.
The banner I made. I also made a life banner that had a picture from hours old to 12mths, but was unable to get a good picture of it.I tried so hard to find a cake topper in the version I wanted, but had to go with this one. Drats!!The Goodie bags. I had a great time putting them together. The table with party favors. I also made strawberry lotion for each girl. I also found strawberry water in the baby section of my local grocery store and I made labels for them as well (thank you for coming to my party).The utensil table had water and strawberry crush. I made my own labels for the bottles. The birthday girl.
It was a warm day so I changed her outfit to something cooler. A Strawberry shortcake pillowcase dress I made a week earlier.
I had a great time putting this party together, it was a hit!
