I have thought and thought about how I wanted to blog about the party! I think I am going to do it in two parts. There is just too much to fit in one post. Part 1-details! The part that spent hours and hours of planning! Part 2-the actually party!
We had the party at my cousin's house. I had asked her a while ago and she was very gracious and allowed us to have it there!
Since the girls were about 6 months old I started thinking about their party. (I know, silly) Let me start off by saying I was a rush director in college. I LOVE planning a party...most of the time. Anyways from the beginning wanted to do a candy bar or sweet type thing. Thus was born the "sugar and spice" theme(green and LOTS of pink). I have two girls and it had to be girlie! I looked all over the internet for inspiration and ideas. Let me tell you there is a lot out there! I got a lot of inspiration and ideas from The Creative party place. Seriously check her out if you are planning a party!!!!
On with the Show!
Welcoming the guests!

The beautiful cupcakes my cousin made! (they tasted amazing too!!)
I have to brag on MIMI for a minute! (my mom) In all my years of planning rushes, my wedding, and graduation parties, My mom is ALWAYS up to the challenge and is always willing to help create any crazy idea I have. She even made this SUPER cute ginger bread house to sit at the candy bar!

Isn't it super cute! It was perfect for the "sweet shop"
What is a Candy bar with out Lollipops?!?
I got this idea from a another party I saw on The Creative Party place!
I had never made suckers before and it was not a easy thing!
I had never made suckers before and it was not a easy thing!There was lots of different candies! It was nice having Valentine's Day Candy out already!
I thought these turned out pretty cute! If you have never seen Bakerilla, you should! They were pretty easy to make.
I found this super cute frame...I could not pass it up. How perfect!

That was about the cutest girl's birthday party I've ever seen! What a lot of work and thought went into it! Can't wait for part 2!
It was a FABULOUS party and absolutely perfect. I loved the toothbrush party favors. I've told everyone how creative that was. I may have to steal your idea for Amiya's "sweet 16."

Wow, that looks like an amazing party! You did such a good job on ALL those cute, cute details!! I've been looking for some 1st birthday ideas, and you've certainly given me a few!
Oh my goodness.....uhh I’m speechless and that does not happen very often! You did such a great job!!! I LOVE the candy bar uh well I pretty much love everything. I’m an adult and I would flip over a party like that. Love the tooth brushes on the candy bar……cute idea.

Ps..Thanks so much for your kind comment.
Kendra
WOW! amazing job. seriously!! great idea and great spread :)
OMG! What an amazing party! You are so creative and I totally love the theme. I don't think you're nuts about thinking of the party at 6 months. I've already thought of what I could do for a boy/girl party and K & K are only 8 weeks. Happy Birthday to your sweet girls! You're such an awesome mom!
Cute candy buffet! I love that you did toothbrushes!

What a wonderful party! Love the gingerbread house and toothbrushes made the PERFECT favor! =)
what a great party!! i love all of the details.. that gingerbread house..?? amazing! and the cupcakes are adorable. i think i'll do that at my sophia's party coming up! so sweet
"Sweet" party! That was A LOT of colorful candy. I love it, but I have to say my favorite part was the vase of toothbrushes!
Wow the details are amazin for this party I already had cupcake pops on the list and the tree with the candy I got that from a baby shower. My daughters name is bellaMarie and since I'm a major crafter and make tutus and childrens clothes I will give those as favors or fairy wings. And maybe a green and pink theme party. She likes green
Loved the first birthday! I can't wait to use some of your great ideas. I was wondering if you remembered where you purchased the cute toothbrushes. I can't find them anywhere. Thanks
Hi, Thanks for the sweet comment. I actually got the toothbrushes at the Dollar store...Dollar tree. Hope that helps!
awesome party!! Where did you get the pink buckets from that are carrying the suckers?
