Flamingle Party Prep


Ok, like I mentioned the last time, I wanted to share with you some details of the preparation I'm doing for Sophia's first birthday!

The theme as you know, is FLAMINGO!

Since it is her First birthday, mommy gets to decide since she can't tell me yet what she wants her theme to be! ;-)

Let's start with her invite...

It's from PIXEL PERFECTION PARTY via ETSY
And since I was so pleased on how her invitation turned out, I ordered the rest of the party stuff from the same store as well!

Like this Birthday Poster
I love how I can print as many as I want with all the stuff that you get to order online.
Digital designers at the tip of my finger! LOL! ;-)

Cupcake toppers

Water Bottle Cover

Welcome Sign Banner

I plan to have an Ice cream bar and also a candy/dessert buffet where kids (and adults) can fill the goodie bags I made for them!

Here's a sneak peek
I got the idea, instructions and templates from OH HAPPY DAY.COM (HERE)! 
Thank you Caitlin and Stephanie for such a fab idea and for sharing it with us!

So, what do you think?
I know, I know, I go overboard, but can you blame mommy?


Hope to share with you the actual party soon!
Wish us luck and praying for NO RAIN that day!

Have a Great Weekend !

P.S. It's a bit ironic that we'll be celebrating on this Saturday here in the U.S. while in the Philippines, my grandmother, who passed away on Monday, will be buried. I have mixed feeling right now but I know my Lola Mila (Grandmother) will understand our joy in her great grand daughters milestone celebration. I pray for Lola everyday and thanks to "e-burol" I am able to attend her wake everyday until her actual funeral day. I will remember and love you always lola, you've given us so much and asked nothing in return. I know you are happy now with Lola in heaven. I know you will watch over all of us everyday.

    Oh I'm sorry your grandmother passed. It's so nice that the internet can allow us to have a sense of being there isn't it.
    Hard to believe it's already one year! Those invitations are the cutest. I love that poster- how cute to make little captions about where she is in her development stages. I'm more than sure your grandmother would want you to go ahead and celebrate. You are celebrating her life and your childs which is wonderful!
