Pink and Blue 1st Birthday Bash and Korean Dol

The birthday decor was inspired by Juliet's birthday dress. I loved the graphic stripe and polka dot combination and so customized everything from her invites, to birthday banner, desserts, tableware and general decor to it. I worked hard to make everything look cohesive by staying strictly to the pink/blue colors and graphic scheme while DIY-ing as much as I could at home in order to save on costs. Everything from the fringe, to the stickering, wrapping, birthday hats was made by hand and/or done by me. Check out my blog posts for all the details!

• What People Ate

  It was a mix of Asian-American because that is what our family is. My husband is Chinese-American, I'm Korean-American and our baby is Chinorean :) We had everything from finger sandwiches and Korean Kimbop, to snacks like shrimp chips, fruit, and baby cereal for the kids.

• What People Drank

  Stickered water bottles, mini-champagne bottles perfectly coordinated with the party's color theme. Coffee, and hot chocolate were also served (it was winter).

• Desserts

  Cake and cookies - One Girl Cookies Peanut butter mochi black sesame mochi (custom-wrapped) chocolates green tea pocky sticks pink gummy bears

• Activities / Games

  Kids were able to leave Juliet birthday messages and art with the provided easel. Parents enjoyed browsing through the weekly growth picture album and signing it (it doubled as a sign-in book). Everyone entered the raffle. The Korean dol asks that you predict what the baby will choose. The one who guessed right and is pulled from that pack wins!
