Party Recap...
This was my first big, themed party (I did a bit of a farm-themed party for my son when he turned one, but it was outdoors and FAR less work!). This was a ton of work and (with a few unrelated illness and work emergencies thrown in) ended up meaning not much sleep, but I think it was worth it!
Party Highlights
Best Moment
Lily getting her own slice of chocolate cake!
Most Touching Moment
Lily loved playing peek-a-boo with tissue paper from her gifts (seeing big brother, Sam on the other side was more fun for her than getting presents).
What People Ate
One apple, two pears, three plums, four strawberries, five oranges, one piece of chocolate cake, one pickle, one slice of cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, one nice green leaf (plus some buns and some white cake).
What People Drank
Bug Juice (cherry limeade) and Butterfly Nectar (peach tea)
Dessert
Cake(s), cherry pie, lollipops, fruit
Party Favors
Caterpillar craft and decorate yourself butterfly wings

Love it! I'm planning my daughter's 1st birthday and this is a big inspiration -- can you help me with advice on how to locate the invitation/food tags or maybe letting me borrow the digital printables?? christinacotner@yahoo.com
