Maya and her cousin are a month apart, so for their first birthday, my sister and I threw a joint party! It was alphabet-block themed, so we called it a block party! It was back in May 2012, but I just found the pictures I took! They were hiding on my videocamera.
 |
| Block-shaped foods and cakes |
|
|
 |
| I printed out cute alphabet-block lables for the food (with allergy info when needed) |
 |
| Papier mache block pinata I made out of cereal boxes! |
 |
| Apparently no one told my husband the pinata was for the kids... |
 |
| Blocks hung from the ceiling (and balloons of course... I coudn't find any block-shaped balloons, but it's just not a party without them!) |
 |
Toss foam blocks through square holes in a sheet for a cheap but fun game!
|
 |
| Alphabet block pads for the play area on the floor (borrowed from a preschool) |
 |
| "FOR MEEEEE??" |
 |
| The baker did a great job on the smash cakes |
 |
| Success! Cake-covered, happy babies at the end of the day. |
And here's my invitations:
It seems like both the kiddos and the adults enjoyed your “Block Party.” Haha. Anyway, job well done on planning and making this party happen! I think you choose a very apt theme for the celebration. And the invites look cool too! Oops! Must make one for my little man too! Thanks for sharing!
