Being a mother can be so stressful. Especially when you are a first time mother; endless diapers, wipes, formula, diaper rashes, sleepless nights and so much more. Now to add on to that it is almost time for my daughters first birthday and that means even more stress because of her first birthday party. Who knew that throwing a first birthday party would be so stressful? Not me!
There are so many aspects that go into a party. You need decorations, food, invitations, figuring out who to invite, a space big enough to hold all the guests you invite, a cake, and so much more. But I think my favorite part of all of the planning is it allows me to be as creative as I want! I have always loved The Little Mermaid and I loved the idea of throwing my baby girl The Little Mermaid themed party!
I have been so excited to be able to create something beautiful for my daughter. I started with creating a beautiful birthday card for my princess. It took me awhile to figure out how I wanted it to look. I strolled through hundreds of photos to find the perfect background and even then I ended up changing my mind. I first started off with the card on the right with a water background, but then this beautiful watercolor just popped and I fell in love with it.
What I was most excited for though was creating her birthday outfit. I have seen many beautiful tutu outfits all over Pintrest and Etsy but they were all $40 and up! I was not going to spend that kind of money on a tutu that she would only wear one time. So I decided to give it a go and make it myself. I bought some tulle from Walmart (purple, light blue, dark blue, and a blue/green tulle) at about $0.90 per yard. I bought 3 yards per color, though I did not use all of it. I also bought a crochet top from amazon for around $4. I love how this beautiful tutu has turned out and I can not wait for her birthday for her to be able to wear it finished! I can't wait for November to be her to be able to wear her beautiful outfit!
How was your experience of first birthdays?
Thank you for reading.
