Haven's 1st Birthday Party

Well I may be over 2 months late... but, better late than never right?!

Our last couple months have been so busy and I finally feel like I have a moment to catch my breath! So without further adieu, Haven's 1st birthday recap!  Ben had to officiate a wedding on her birthday so we decided to celebrate the day after.  The wedding was in Charleston which meant my family could all be there to celebrate with us.  I loved planning for her party.  Thanks to pinterest, I did all the decor and treats myself.  I will include the links to the tutorials I used below.

I adore how her cake turned out!  It was really easy, too!  I followed this tutorial: http://onelittleproject.com/how-to-make-a-smash-cake-for-a-first-birthday/

I don't have a tutorial for the back drop.  I was playing around with extra tissue garland that I had already cut to use for the garland.  I ended up unfolding the cut tissue and using tape to stick it to a white sheet that we then hung from the fire place.  It was super cheap and easy and I LOVE how it turned out!

I was determined to not spend much on her party because let's face it, she had no idea what was going on!  But, this momma loves to craft and I had a lot of fun making these cheap and easy decorations and treats.
