Simon and I are not big party throwers, but of course we can't wait to celebrate Isabelle's 1st birthday with our closest family. We aren't doing anything huge or spectacular, but of course I want it to be a lovely day, with lots of little touches just for Isabelle, so she knows how special her very first birthday was when we look back in years to come.
The party will be for just family, at our house. Balloons and bunting are both a must, and I will be making these myself at some point next month. I absolutely adore the first birthday chalkboards that I've seen, and am also making one of these myself - a big one for display, and a small one for her baby book. Food wise, my mother-in-law is an amazing baker, and will make us a beautiful cake, and then we'll have lots of baby/child friendly foods - check out the rainbow fruit kebabs below. I've already ordered the invitations (thanks to Lauren at Mrs Hippo and Me who shared a code to get these for FREE!) and I'm not worrying too much about the whole thing - which probably means I will have a last minute panic come April!
So, where do I turn for inspiration for all my wants and needs? Oh, don't be silly...where do you think?! I've been pinning up a storm since new year. I'll be posting more abut various bits and bobs to do with Isabelle's birthday over the next month and a half, but I'm starting off with just a look at what I've been pinning to give me some ideas of what I'd like for this most special day.
