Beck's little man party


the invite made by my cousin natalie















AND HE'S DONE!

Birthday's are kind of a big deal in our family. Especially 1st birthday's!I know I take them a little too seriously, but after all, a birthday is to celebrate the day one is born, and that is a big.freakin.deal. Our family is completely obsessed with this little man, and cannot imagine life without him. We were so lucky to be in Az for beck's 1st birthday surrounded by our family and our best friends there to join us. We even had family travel from CA to attend! We are the luckiest. I decided to throw him a "little man party." It was the most fitting theme for our little grandpa beck. I loved how everything turned out. I built the party around 1 thing. Mustaches. Oh how I love them. We had mustache cupcakes and cake, mustache sugar cookies, mustache photo booth, and lets not forget the mustache snow globe-- Leave it up to Urban outfitters on that find:) If it didn't have to do with mustaches, it was anything old man. A HUGE thanks to my graphic design cousin Natalie who made my dreams into reality:) on paper:) she is awesome. and also to my mamma, who just about killed me for being so darn OCD. haha:) And thank you to all of our friends who came to honor our little beck!

Ames we are so glad Beck's 1st B-day was in AZ! Everything turned out absolutely perfect! He's growing up so fast! Oh and can you email the pic of me, Scott and grumpy ;) Parker!
Ps. I'm still so sad you can't be at the wedding! (And that your parents won't be there either)!

So Darling!!! I can't get over his little tie and mustache! I'm planning a party for Nolan (which won't be anywhere as cute as yours) but I was totally thinking of having a fun photo booth (guess it's the photographers in us:).

are you kidding me amy?! the cutest party ever! you should become a party designer and a photographer all in one. and this has nothing to do with the party but your hair looks really cute...and long.

It's official. . . you are Julianne's new Godmother! Now what all does that entail in the Mormon world??? haha I NEED you to come take pictures of her! Or at least teach me how to use a camera! I am pathetic and her cuteness is not being documented to its fullest extent! Miss you!

Oh my goodness! What a cute birthday! My son's first birthday was also featured on Party Like a Kid (http://www.partylikeakid.com/2010/11/woodland-themed-1st-birthday-with-personal-touches-galore/) and we also got him that adorable activity cube.

So fun!

I'm also a Utah girl. Are you in Utah now?

So I stumbled across your blog while searching for 'little man' party ideas for our almost 1 year old named BECKHAM! His party was absolutely adorable and I hope you don't mind, but I am copying everything that you did. Question...would you be willing to sell some of the decorations? If so, please email me. hollyngreen@gmail.com Hope to hear from you!

Darling Castaneda said...

I'm kind of confessing that i'm totally taking your ideas ! lol!! But i'd really like to know if your sister can sell me the same designs for the invites and the little details?? If so please email me at DarlingCastaneda@live.com

I am really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout
on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you
customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one today.
