PARTY DETAILS as told by Ashley…
I loved every moment of planning this party for my first son’s first birthday party! My most favorite creations were the big top backdrop behind the main table, the custom gable boxes for each child that read “It’s time to clown around (child’s name)” with a clown nose on top and the table centerpieces simply made from popcorn boxes/tissue paper and lollipops!
I also used sentimental items like the antique wagon my grandfather gave me which held all the children’s goody bags. And also the vintage suitcase owned by my grandmother which held the custom cotton candy bags.

That little strongman paper cut out is the cutest, it just makes me smile. The little marshmallow dumbells are fantastic, sometimes the simple ideas are the best. I am such a fan of red and teal blue together, and have recently designed some circus party printables around the same colours, they’re hard to beat!
Do you think it was made by her? I have looked for it everywhere.
I just found it on Amazon! The name is Sawdust & Spangles – here’s the link :)
P.S. Apologies to everyone else that already asked – I didn’t see the comments until just now!
Any idea where the strongman paper cut out came from?
What was the guest book that you used? =)
Where did you get the bags from? The ones on your mantel that hold the balloons!
Can you please tell me the name of the guest book?

Hi Mel –
I’m not sure where Ashley purchased those exact machines, but you can find lots of similar ones online! Here’s what comes up with a google shopping search.
And then book is called Sawdust and Spangles and it’s available on Amazon. Hope that helps! :)
