Party Recap...
After contemplating various 1st birthday party ideas, I settled on a Thomas the Train theme. Decorations such as hanging 3d clouds, cloud posters, highchair banner, Name; letters and numbers, candy buffet containers and banners, favor bags and luggage tags, wall decorations (corresponding trains) and tissue poms, edible treats; candy apple (favors), cookies, jello cups, Chocolate lollipop (#1 center pieces), all of the aboved were created and designed by myself. Water bottle labels, smash cake and cupcakes were outsourced, via a local baker, and etsy
