The milestone has come and gone...the 1st birthday. So bitter sweet. My baby may be growing up but it is so much fun to watch. He is changing everyday. To celebrate I went all out Suess! Everything was homemade by either myself or someone else with the exception of the cake and cupcakes which were provided by a local bakery.
Here is the Birthday Boy himself. For his outfit I appliqued a one made out of the Dr. Suess Frabric I got to make his birthday banner. On the back I placed a picture of the cat in the hat.
To make his sweet little hat I traced a cardboard party hat onto the Suess Fabric then stitched a seam down the middle and hot glued the fabric over the cardboard hat. The red fuzzy balls I just picked up at my local Michaels.
These are the Adult Party favors that were handed out to the guest. These were a lot of fun to make. I bought the jumbo size marsh mellows and covered them red on the bottom blue on the top with melted candy melts (from Michaels). I put blue sprinkles on top for a little sparkle. They were supposed to be like Thing 1 and Thing 2. The white circle was a white candy melt that I just briefly placed on the heat to melt just enough to stick to the red. I then used food coloring pens to right on the circle.
On the back of the card was a Suess quote and thank you from Miles. Everything was printed off of my home computer.
The kids party favor was a packet of homemade soap in the shape of a Red Fish and Blue Fish. A quote from One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish was on the back. The soap smelled like watermelon and blueberry. I purchased these from Mommy's Little Critters. She has a ton of shapes and scents to choose from.
This is the one of the banners I sewed for the party. The Miles banner made out of the polka dot Suess Fabric. I also placed Thing 1 and Thing 2 on the mantle chasing the fish bowl. Again these were printed on my home computer and just glued to scrap construction paper that I had.
This is the happy birthday banner that I appliqued and sewed out of the Dr. Suess Material.
Guest were asked to take a favor and write a special message to the birthday boy in Dr. Suess Happy Birthday to you.
The main beverage was Pink Yink Ink Drink (pink lemonade). Each food item had a sign stating what it was, a picture from that particular book, and a quote as well from the book.
The smash cake and cupcakes were purchased from Fiddle Cakes here in Nashville. They were incredibly delicious. Yum, Yum, YUM!!!! I purchased a variety of flavors and icings.
The food table. Green Eggs were served (deviled eggs with food coloring), cheeseburger sliders, Truffula Fruits (fruit salad) from the Lorax, Poodles Eating Noodles (Pesto Pasta Salad) from Fox in Socks. Yertles Turtles (Chocolate Turtles) from Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories.
The turtles were super easy and VERY good. You lay out pretzels on a cookie sheet place Rollo Chocolate candies on top place in the oven at 350 for 2 to 3 minutes. Pull them out of the oven and place a Pecan on top pushing down. You have to eat at lease one hot. This very easy treat has such a nice balance of salty and sweet.
For the Green Eggs just make your deviled eggs as you usually would and had green food coloring.
WHAT A FUN DAY WE HAD
