PARTY DETAILS, as told by Jennifer…

This hot air balloon party was styled for a first birthday!

The main dessert table featured a cake topped with the birthday boy’s initials and decal, cupcakes, powdered donuts, rock candy sticks, customized candy bars, fruit, and lots of bright pinwheels.

The welcome table featured the ‘Doljabi’ game (which foretells the birthday boy’s future by what he would pick), customized raffle tickets, and small gift bags for the kids that were attending labeled with a customized gift tag.

Hot air balloon decals, clouds and pinwheels finished off the look.
