Kalena's 1st birthday

We took lots and lots of photo's of our baby girl's first year so I wanted a way to show them off. There were miniature Polaroid looking photos tied to the ends of balloons for balloon weights, a monthly banner, another banner that showed photos of her first holidays, 2 posters boards containing photos of all her "firsts", and a #1 that was made out of some of my favorite photos. For entertainment (the party was mainly adult friends and family) I had a DIY photobooth. I had fun making lots of props for this! The background was just a bedsheet hanging on a pvc pipe frame. I also had cameras and chalkboards on the tables for people to mess with. and we did a time capsule box where people could write tips to the birthday girl for the future. Favors were picture frames that said "thanks for making my birthday picture perfect".
