LBP Party: Winter "One"derland Paper Goods

Once the winter "one"derland theme had been established, the next step was to incorporate snowflakes AND pink into the party.  Since there aren't a lot of pink snowflakes to be had out there, LBP knew that even more custom party goods were in order. 

The party invitation and playful wording set the tone for the party (and we love that the birthday girl's picture outfit matched too!). 

Front of invitation: 
"Oh what fun!  Our little snowflake is turning one!"

Back of invitation: 
"Snowflakes, cake and wonderland treats.  Please join us as we celebrate someone sweet."



Coordinating tags were created for the snowflake cookie favors and were tied around cellophane bags with striped baker's twine in pink & white to match. 

Favor tags $20 per set of 25. 

Polka dot napkins in the party's oh so pink palette were accented by custom beverage cups, which featured the number "1" in the center, surrounded by "oh what fun!  caroline is one!".  A coordinating design was also used for the milk bottle labels so guests could choose from "whole", "2%" or "chocolate" milk at the milk & cookie bar. 

Otherwise plain cupcakes got dressed up for the party with custom double-sided cupcake toppers.  Designs featured cut-out snowflakes in blossom and fuchsia and reversible circle toppers featuring a snowman on one side, the number "1" on the other and finished with a bow. 

Circle labels for beverage cups $8 per dozen.  Custom double-sided cupcake toppers $12 per dozen, can be customized with any message, motif and color combination.  Favor tags $20 per set of 25. 

Greeting guests at the door were clusters of pink balloons, a framed photo of the birthday girl decorated with dainty bows, and a welcome sign using wording from the invitation to remind them what was in store:  "snowflakes, cake and wonderland treats.  today we celebrate someone sweet".  Dr. Seuss' Happy Birthday to You! doubled as a guest book (propped up with a cookbook stand) with a sign inviting guests to leave a message:

To highlight the wonderland treats, LBP designed a mobile with pink and silver glitter snowflake ornaments, felt snowmen and cut-out snowflakes.  The mobile was the perfect centerpiece to hang over the dessert table and large vinyl snowflakes cascaded down the wall on either side.  Pennant flag banners that spelt out "Happy 1st Birthday Caroline" served as a focal point in the room and was a perfect backdrop for taking pictures with the guest of honor. 

Mobiles start at $30 and can be customized to match party theme/color scheme. 

Garland availabe in pennant shape or circles and can be customized with any message or color combination.  Garlands start at $20 and pricing depends on length of message.

Our favorite detail from the party is the "my first year" photo garland, which featured a picture of the birthday girl from each of the past 12 months labeled with captions of "1 month", etc. printed on snowflakes to coordinate with the rest of the paper goods.  Photos hung vertically on either side of the entrance to the party on fuchsia satin ribbon (the perfect pop of pink!).  Guests loved seeing the picture progression of the past year!

Snowflake mobile, pennant flag banners, photo garland, welcome sign and frame and guest book sign:  Little Black Press.  Birthday crown:  Mud Pie.  Guest book:  Dr. Seuss.

Happy 1st Birthday to Caroline!  We hope this little snowflake loved her Winter "One"derland party as much as we did!
