Hostess With The Mostess

I wanted something bright and fun for my lively little girl's first birthday party. I decided to go with a rainbow theme. Instead of using actual rainbow images, I used the colors and blended it with the chevron print to give it a more modern and fun look. Since I decided not to go with an event planner, I needed to make it as easy and effortless as possible, esp. since the set-up time given at the venue was only 30 mins.!

A lot of the ideas came from pinterest.com and party blogs I've stumbled upon.

venue: Recess: Urban Recreation

cake and cookies: Beyond Buttercream

favors: I purchased miscellaneous toys and flash cards and packaged them up. For the babies, I bought books from local consignment stores.
