What a wonderful day! Just perfect, really. We had such a good time celebrating Noah's first birthday. His party was everything I hoped it would be ... small, intimate, meaningful, memorable, and really focused on Noah and the joy he's brought to our family these past twelve months ... a proper ending to such a milestone year. :)

I let the invitations set the tone for the party. I didn't want it to be overly "themey" because, in my humble opinion, when you turn ONE, that is the theme! :) Noah is such a happy, smiley little guy, so my goal for the decorating was to play up vibrant shades of sunshine yellow. But I also wanted to add in some bright punches of cobalt blue to reflect his "all boy" personality. The inside of the invites read, "Our sunshine baby is turning one! Please join us to celebrate Noah's first birthday."

Perhaps my favorite thing about his party were the cupcake toppers I made. What better way to highlight his first year than to have pictures of him from each lovable stage?! I did three dozen toppers - so there were three different pictures from each month.
And they all looked so adorable together, sitting in the white cupcake stands.
The month was labeled on the back of each picture.

These were the cutlery wraps I put together. First, I tucked some disposable wooden spoons and forks into the glassine sleeves. I trimmed the tops of the sleeves with some scallop scissors. Then I folded the white paper napkins, laid the glassine sleeves on top, and wrapped them together with the same striped yellow patterned paper from the invitations. And I finished them off with some pretty blue twine.
Cookie favors for the adults - butter waffle crisps packaged in glassine bags

These were the name stickers I made for the drink cups
Animal cookie favor boxes for the kiddos
LOVED the felt garlands and the yellow bunting I purchased from two great Etsy gals! So very festive.

i've been waiting for this post! great pictures! I love that ONE YEAR OLD so much!
Love this! Love it ALL!
Lovely, simple, delicate. I love your style and your work. My little one is just a week or so younger then your little guy.
Wait...what? It's Noah's first birthday already? Didn't you just have this little ball of goodness? Wow this year went fast! Another beautiful party. I love the elegance in the simplicity. Gorgeous!
adorable! love those cupcake toppers!
Sarah, what an adorable party you so lovingly put together for Noah. I especially love the cupcake toppers, too - what a great idea! I'm so pleased that Good Will Bunting could contribute to your lovely theme. Thanks, again, for being a great customer. Cuddles for Noah!
Sarah, you have totally captured all that Garnish is about. You packaged these little moments so perfectly. The whole party is gorgeous. Love the color scheme, love your cup labels, love it all! Thanks for the Garnish shout-out and best wishes to little Noah as he explores life as a one year old.
Garnish + Enjoy,

I always love coming over to your blog, your pics are always perfect. Makes me wonder how you do it. Everything always looks so picture perfect. :) I know that isn't "true" but I like it. Looks like you and Noah both had wonderful bdays
what wonderful party decor for a one year party! i love your touches and attention to the smallest details, which just make the party. i have been following your blog for some time- i came across it when looking for shelving ideas for my son's room (his name is also jack!) and i am happy to report that we just purchased expedit shelving (thank you for the inspiration!).
so so cute! I loved your party you did back in 2009- the car party...so cute as well! I really like your blog. Can I ask where you got your clear plastic favor boxes you used for the kids?
Thanks,
Karen
So sweet and perfect. Your work is incredible!
Sarah - you're on ohdeedoh again! :) You do throw such amazing picture perfect parties and have such great ideas.
I really love the idea of the monthly pictures on the cupcakes. I took monthly photos of X and made a little game of it to see if people could guess which order they went in. It ended up being too windy to really display them the way I wanted to but it was still fun. I think next time I might use the cupcake idea instead.
Blessings to you and your family - and Happy Birthday to Noah!
Thanks so much for sharing your adorable little boy's birthday party with us!! And thanks also for leaving links to all the cool stuff. :) Blessings!
