Lyla's Pink Lemonade Stand Party

Before Lyla was born, I perused pinterest to find the perfect first birthday party theme. When I saw a lemonade stand birthday featured on the homepage, I knew that's what she had to have! My dad built her a custom lemonade stand that we used as the cake stand and the centerpiece for the party. The decorations were all hot pink, light pink and yellow and included balloons, roses and tissue paper tassles. In lieu of gifts, Lyla collected donations for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation and raised $680!

  Adults received lemon flavored muddy buddies and each child received a sand pail filled with pink and yellow sidewalk chalk, bath paint, balloons and lemon oreos.

• Activities / Games

  The party was an open house with mostly adult family members, so we didn't have any organized games. However, in lieu of gifts, Lyla collected donations for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. She raised $680 for the charity at her first birthday party! We were so thankful for our generous family and friends that donated to such a wonderful organization!
